Home Sweet Home: Back in LA

As soon as we hit LA ground we decided to freshen up at home and go out!

Cabana Club: Beach Feel With Hollywood Rules.

"Located behind Amoeba Music, Cabana Club feels miles away from the traffic jams and punk kids eating from street stands outside. The hidden-oasis patio conjures a beach vacation with palm trees, cabanas, waterfalls and a shallow pool. Club goers sit on oversize couches next to tiled European-style tables, where even the outdoor air feels ocean-fresh. (How did they do that?) Inside, the gold and brown palette is equally luxurious. Like Breed's other nightclub White Lotus, which has since closed, Cabana revives the Hollywood glamor that he set out to encapsulate when he moved from London, via New York, in the '90s."

My thoughts: Pretty cool in terms of setting and music. The staff is a pain in the ass... So Hollywood.

I Want To Be A Pirate

I don't care what the reviews say. I loved it! I'm madly in love with Depp, Bloom and the rest of the cast. I didn't feel lost or overwhelmed. The action sequences rocked my boat and it never slowed down. I loved the humor in it, the story line and the setting... Perfect! Can't wait for the next to come. Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End takes the boot with style!

Cal-Italian Served Outdoors

Memorial Day Monday was a lazy day for me. After sleeping in, I joined a couple of friends at Villa Sorriso in Pasadena. Here, you can sit inside or out, order a Martini or a glass of wine and enjoy delicious California bistro fare.

In the evenings, they sometimes have a DJ and a party takes off for your enjoyment. In the daytime, it's a great place for a good lunch full of charm.
