The Great Gatsby, opening night, reserved seating at Century City.
Three couples. Outside snacks. A good time.
I didn’t remember the story at all from when I had to read it in high school.
I was mesmerized by the costumes and the extravagant lifestyles. I wish I lived in the 1920′s.
My favorite period by far, maybe. 
Saturday was spent in Santa Monica with JOh, YC and Bear.
We met at Sonoma Wine Garden (my new favorite place) and had bottles of wine with some food.
We then moved over to Ma’Kai and had two bottles of sake. I was gone by the time we were going home.
Managed to walk safely to our car and get home in one piece.
But the party didn’t stop there.
I met Jo for drinks and dancing immediately after.
Took Uber to Beer Belly, met Jo, took Uber again to Vanguard.
We got attacked by some foam crap!
We were NOT having it! Lol
In celebration of Q’s retirement!
And I met a fan.
Thanks for the photo!
I stopped drinking earlier in the night. I couldn’t hang so I had Bear pick me up when I was ready.
Bear signed us up for a Spanish tapas cooking class with Hipcooks. He surprised me with the classes on Valentine’s day and finally the time the had come.
We both enjoy cooking so we were both excited.
We arrived early to this studio with almost a full kitchen.
Angela our teacher for the day was fun, energetic and super engaging.
It was fun to do something different with Bear.
I definitely recommend anyone who’s up for anything fun.
There were about 14 of us, some singles, mostly couples and we made several different dishes and drank sangria.
Anything with alcohol is great for me.
Spending quality time with my Bear on top of that is even better.
It’s been a hot week and I had planned on seeing the Naylors for quite some time, so weather permitted and we went swimming!
We had a blast with the kiddies and eating pizza and drinking beer.
Kids are much easier to handle when there are more than one.
I got a nice little tan and now I’m craving for more color!
I miss laying out.
After the day at the pool, we hung out in their home and came towards Koreatown. I had an eyelash appointment and went to dinner after with Bear.
We came back home, grabbed froyo and watched a movie.
It was a beautiful day.
We registered for the Macallan tasting in Culver City, although I was on my detox for the LA Weekly shoot tomorrow, I needed a night out with my good friend Jo and the boys.
We arrived to the event and sat through a seminar like presentation for Macallan. Reminded me of a time share meet.
We first started with a glass each, then the waitresses brought over glass after glass after glass. Next thing I knew I had 4 glasses of Macallen in front of me!
I hadn’t eaten anything since 11am and I was getting drunk!
After we went over to Sawtelle and had dinner at Seoul Sausage!
Of course we had dessert too, next door.

The restroom at SS had the chalkboard so I of course had to wipe other people’s tag and write my name!
My friend’s daughter turned 1 and I wasn’t going to miss her 돌!
It was an “American” first birthday with the element of a Korean tradition, with 돌자비!
Aside from the fact that the hosts were unprofessional, unprepared and looked like they didn’t want to be there, it was a fun event. Even with the performer (Carly something) backing out last minute.
I didn’t go to see her so it didn’t matter to me, but seeing that half the crowd got up and walked away, only proved that the turn out of the event was due to her performance.
I really enjoyed the Lawry’s catering, I’m a huge fan of Lawry’s so I was thrilled to see that they were one of the sponsors. As for Kabuki, I didn’t even bother.
Bear was shocked at how delicious Lawry’s prime rib tasted and I had assumed that he had already been to the brick and motar in BH so when I asked if he had been there and he answered no, I insisted on taking him. (Already made the reservations for this coming week). Although it is a little played out for a person raised in the Los Angeles area, it is a damn good meal for any occasion, or no occasion at all!
Before the even started, I got a snapshot of the main area. Private Jet by 360 Jets and the runway for the Audrey Fashion Show
Scar doing her thing
Sponsored by Jameson, mine was just filled with ice water 
Lawry’s Catering, so yummy
Right before stepping onto the red carpet

The gorgeous Amy and me. There’s a funny story between us
The couple of the night, ALWAYS!
I wore my Dolce & Gabbana satin dress with a mink shawl, Manolo Blahnik shows and my Judith Leiber clutch
My fried who is the regional manager asked me and few other guests to join for their taste test.
Basically, to come eat and critique.
They were testing out new items and updated dishes to add to their existing menu.
I invited few friends who have exquisite palates to join.
Over a course of 10 dishes we sipped on a delicious white wine and talked about random things like LAUSD and more food. Burgers to be exact!

Thank you to Limer35 & KungfoodPanda for joining in on this event!
The food was amazing and I had such a great time!
Today was the day I broke me detox, but it was for a good cause!
I’ll be back on it tomorrow cause I feel like I’m getting fat already!
My hubby had her big night emceeing the event at the Revolver in Weho.
After doing Jim I went to support.
She is the west coast representative for the Real L Word Glam LA!
She got all dolled up! And let me tell ya, she looked good!

Life is about giving back and living free!

LOVE THIS PHOTO!
I’m doing her usual head tilt!
A BIG thank you to @JasonRoars for his help with the event. He is the events coordinator for SBE and he was so helpful in giving us a great deal with no corkage fee!
And another big THANK YOU to all the bridesmaids, Janet and Grace especially for doing most of the organizing….
It was a beautiful shower, one of the best I’ve ever been to. I must say it was better than mine back in 2003! 
It was held at the Saam at SLS Hotel, the patisserie side of Bazaar. We didn’t have to do much decorating since they place was already so beautiful. We had the whole area to ourselves!
Our complimentary champagne area. I swear this is where I hung out most of the day.
Homemade favors. Janet is a baker. She’s a pastry extraordinaire so she did most of these with Grace’s help.
The focal point. Jo!
The games!
My seat.
It was a high tea party. Little finger foods and dessert with a plethora of teas.
Doing my usual photo shoot in the bathroom after many glasses of Veuve.
The groom came by to drop off a bouquet of flowers.
Gift opening time! I left mine in her car cause I hate people opening the gift I got them in front of everyone.
The beautiful bride to be!
The Park Sisters
Us…
Budgeting on the excel from the iphone. We’re so savvy.
The crew!
Made Jo take a pic in the bathroom, since it was all white!
The Damage.
We went to the Mondrian after to grab REAL food and drinks.
The future sister in law and the bride.
Us.
I had such an amazing time with my friends. This weekend was seriously filled with so much joy and love and it just makes getting older so much more enjoyable.
I love my friends and I can’t wait for the wedding!
CONGRATULATIONS JO!!!!
YOU KNOW WHERE TO GO FOR THE FOOD PICS!
The bridesmaids. ALL TOGETHER!
Been slacking but must continue!
Since no one worked on Wednesday, we decided to go out for a drink.
The plan was to stop by Greystone Manor for Randy’s 30th and then hop over to weho for Here Lounge.
I ran out of time and just ended up in weho.
I got out of class at 10, and by the time I went home to get ready and got to LA to meet D and hubby, it was midnight.
I contemplated on staying home but that didn’t end up happening.
I seriously love gogo dancers. I could watch them all night.
Ran into G who calls me her wifey lol
She’s always so fun and entertaining!
We went from Here to Abbey back to Here and then gay pizza.
Look what I saw in weho!
The gay boy scene is crazy. Just straight crazy!
Half naked, good looking men. EVERYWHERE. Def, not sanitary.
They are all handsome with perfect bodies, but strictly dickly.
Thanks to Stephane for the invite, it gave me a reason to come to LA on a weekday and see my bear!
Every time I hang out with their family, I get the pleasure of seeing all their beautiful kids and a beautiful car!
This time I saw their Vorsteiner Cayenne Turbo. I’m not a fan of the Cayenne, but this particular one looked freaking gorgeous!
The birthday was held at the Magic Forest in Culver City. These playgrounds for kids are brilliant! Way better than having a kid’s birthday at a home! It was 10am and after a night of drinking, I was surprised I actually made it on time! But then again, I wouldn’t have missed it for the world!
They had groundwork coffee prepared for the parents!
The dining area for the food
The birthday girl in her tutu!
My friend even hired a fairy to entertain the kids! She was full of energy, a bit sarcastic and super loud! hahah Perfect for children. Although her jokes weren’t really kid proof.
A photo of the siblings… the cutest bunch of hapas!
When everyone was singing Happy Birthday, it was too cute to watch McKayla cause she was completely nonchalant about it!.
It was a great birthday party! There were few familiar faces that I’ve seen before at my friend’s other parties. I was happy to spend time with her family and see her 2nd born as well.
There def. wasn’t enough time to catch up so I must visit them on the west side soon, very soon.
Offered to be my hubby’s DD last night since she was tending bar at the Robertson in weho!
I took her by 10 and hung out til my friend came. He actually had my phone cause someone put it in his bag assuming it was his on Wednesday night.
Thank you JM!
I stayed til about 1145 and a friend came to pick me up to hang out.
We came back to the club around 130 and waited til my hubby got off work.
Went to eat at Kitchen 24 after cause hubby was hungry and by the time we were going home the sun was coming up!
So glad I wasn’t hungover!
I’ve never had so many texts!
Jo got reservations at Son of a Gun for a 7 course foie gras dinner. I obviously was super excited to go with since my love for foie is out of this world.
This was the last foie meal Chef Ludo was doing since the ban takes place on July 1st.
I picked her up in DTLA and drove to the restaurant.
We grabbed a drink at the bar while they got our table ready.

Chef Ludo joined us during our 6th course
We then stopped by Cafe Bleu since my hubby was there to do some work. She needed some picture taken behind the bar for some upcoming event.
I had everyone take a picture with my clown nose!
We didn’t stay long since I have work.
Dropped Jo off and now I’m ready for my detox tomorrow!
