Some nights are for intimate romance, and some are for pure fun. On this night, we grabbed another couple, Harvey and Barbara, and headed for a lively evening with a traditional Brazilian meal and an energy-filled show.

An expectant crowd turned out on Thursday night, March 1, at the Petersen Automotive Museum in Los Angeles for a momentous occasion in the world of environmental automobiles: The unveiling of Phoenix Motorcars’ new electric SUT. The evening was hosted by six-time Emmy-nominated actor and environmentalist, Ed Begley, Jr., and his wife and co-star of HGTV’s Living with Ed, Rachelle Carson.
‘Twas the night after Valentine’s Day—and what a great night it was! On Thursday, February 15 th, Women & Wine (www.womenwine.com) sponsored a fantastic event at the Fashion Institute of Design & Merchandising Museum.
If the title sounds funny….well, the show is even funnier! Be prepared for three extremely talented and witty ladies telling all—and I do mean “all”—about their voracious appetites, both food-wise and sex-wise.
The menu has a tempting array of appetizers that includes escargots, spring rolls, and sautéed calamari; but a simple name doesn’t convey the complexity of each of these tantalizing dishes.
And it’s all fun and delicious, too! It’s Papa Cristo’s Taverna MY BIG FAT GREEK “FAMILY STYLE DINNER” EVERY THURSDAY NIGHT in Los Angeles. Bring your friends, and bring your appetite!
C & O Trattoria
Do you like listening to Frank Sinatra? Dean Martin? Louis Prima & Keely Smith? Do you like good wine? Great pasta? And low prices? Then you’ll love C & O! But we warn you, go on a weeknight because on weekends the crowds line up along the sidewalk!
WHAT a party tonight at Tommy Rays! It’s a fabulous new restaurant on Ventura Blvd. in Studio City, and this was their Grand Opening bash! I joined the tons of people having drinks, hors d’oeuvres, and fun. Who was seen at the scene? First, there was Ed Begley Jr., a total gentlemen as well as a consummate actor. Ed, we love you! And I had such a cool conversation with Tasia Sherel from “Everybody Hates Chris.” Tasia was wearing a super outfit—with a stunning hat! I used to wear hats all the time, and seeing Tasia in one, I think I’ll start wearing one again!
. . .is almost like an old-fashioned Romantic Comedy – and I mean that in a GOOD way! I’m not sure why, but I went with low expectations. I didn’t EXPECT to like this movie – but I was surprised. It was fun from beginning to end – and I mean “especially” to Jude Law’s end.
Madewell, a new clothing store in Century City, had a super party for the holidays. The tasty goodies started before you even got in the door. Donuts, anyone? These were mini-fried doughnuts with a choice of toppings. You were questioned as you entered. Powdered sugar? Chocolate? Maple honey? Oreo Cookie? or Vanilla? What a fun way to start a bash—with a great dessert at the very beginning!
