We all have a favorite film that we feel really connected to. Anyone who claims to love it more, can’t possibly… We’ve seen it way more times, we know every line of dialog, and have owned every incarnation of it since it was released on VHS, however many years ago. But even devout film nerds, can’t necessarily [...]

Hollywood Style Scene and Fastlane Merchandising are giving one lucky reader a FREE FROLIC ROOM LOGO T-SHIRT!  See how to win at the end of this post!  For this edition of Thirsty Thursday, we direct you to the bar that tops our Hollywood Dive Bar lists three years [...]

Is any accessory more “LA” than sunglasses? Shades are about fashion AND function: they make you look “cool” but they also protect from those pesky UV rays that we get so much of here in sunny Cali. In Brazil it’s quite the same, which means for the most part, sunglass design there is muy chic, [...]

Before Madonna. Before Gwen. Before Gaga. There was the original blonde icon who fancied black liquid eyeliner and sultry lips, in bright red, sexy pink, or not so demure nude (every shade worked on her)!

It’s about time the beloved shrine to the famous and [...]

While the New York fashion cognescenti reveled in runway excess, and the sponsorship riches that come with it (not to mention non-stop international attention) this week, LA still has yet to get any real respect when it comes to fashion. Our “fashion week” has never truly come close to NY’s, even when Mercedes Benz was [...]

Hot dates, families on afternoon outings and serious Kingpins alike roll into Lucky Strike Lanes to knock down pins amid a party atmosphere that could only be found in the heart of Hollywood.  Yes, it’s a bowling alley, but Lucky Strike is a lot more too. They’ve got a great bar, a tasty menu, giant [...]

There was lots to celebrate in Hollywood last Friday night.

The Sunset Strip may have just celebrated its rightful place as an iconic music hub during the Sunset Strip Music Festival, but the boulevard starts rockin’ well before you get into West Hollywood.
