MUSH Hollywood

2008-10-20T16:01:11Z

Mush is an eclectic boutique with an emphasis on home decor, located in a Historical Landmark building, built by famed director Cecil B. Demille (Actually, this particular building was originally his production house with Paramount Studios), in Hollywood California. I Love Cecil B. Demille!!...And I love Mush! Every month or two they have fantastic little, martini shopping parties in the store...that I find quite nice to attend. Def one of my fave secret spots to shop and pick up specialty gifts too.

The high light of the 80's for me, aside from collecting hundreds of rubber bracelets and watching MTV every night, till the break of dawn...Was collecting these plastic sushi rolls and other plastic chotchkies that looked real...I could have sworn they were called Minkmans, but for some strange reason...that word IS NOT coming up in Google...Anyhow...I thought it was very cool to see these fantastic frosted, faux cocktail, martini Minkman type...ummm....I dunno what the word is for these....But I love em!!!

Owner Michelle van der Heijden hand selects each and every item for her boutique with great care and love. Drawing from 20 years of interior design and retail experience from the East Coast to the West.

I also love the collection of jewelry pieces Michelle has put together. I highly recommend dropping by for a look. Mush offers a broad range of pieces from, clean and modern, to vintage, as well as items that are quite delicate and feminine. Gotta love that...

I happen to personally love anything with a bohemian flare. I don't think it ever really goes out of style especially, if you wear it and it does not wear you...

There are tons of wonderful treasures to explore and find at MUSH...

MUSH is located at 5653 Hollywood Blvd. Los Angeles, CA 90028

Escapades at Sunset Junction

2008-09-18T21:30:50Z

Aight...my G-9 got ganked...and I have not been able to function without it!! Fortunately, I got some sort of bro hook-up goin on at Cannon right now and will be getting a new cam hopefully soon...On a lighter note...I happened to have downloaded some stuff before this all went down!! Sweet!!

50 Cent (right). Loved these guys! So nice. (I love nice!!!)

Love my good friend Gabrielle.

We love the Fun House!! We could not get outta there...Full 2 hour side excursion.

I guess the singer from Ima Robot has a new band. Def a little hippie dippie sounding to me, but that's cool. I personally was NOT feeling it. But everybody else in the room could not stop talking about how "fantastic" they were. They had a variety of different instruments and tons of people in the band (Like 30). I did think that keyboard player had some kinda somethin goin on, but to be quite honest everybody had some kinda weird smiles on their faces like they just got outta Jonestown...or I dunno....Maybe they took too much payote or something....

He aint the best...But he's better than you!

2008-08-23T20:34:19Z

That's fo sho.

The grandson of an Oklahoma moonshine runner and the son of a 1950's pinstriper, Skratch started working on hot rods at age 16 in Fort Worth, Texas because it was in his blood. Soon, he had established a money making business buying and selling used Camaro parts locally. With an ever growing appetite for cars, he soon started buying cars outside the city, fixing them up and selling them for profit. By the age of 20, he had rented his first shop and began modding 1950's Oldsmobiles and Chevrolets. At age 26, he quit and moved to the West Coast - the U.S. capital of Hot Rods. Soon, his pinstriping talents were noticed by various builders at events, and his new career in L.A. was born...Skratch's Garage.

As Skratch began to fabricate and pinstripe for various owners and builders...A following started to build. Soon, his work could be seen in national magazines from Rod & Custom to Ol' Skool Rodz and from Lowrider Magazine to Burnout Magazine. An art form normally reserved for the old codgers of hot rodding now had a young new face - striping everything from hot rods and lowriders to choppers and refrigerators. When he wasn't hitting car shows or doing custom striping, he could be found in Skratch's Garage in Sun Valley, CA working on a growing list of metal fabrications projects and custom builds.

We love Skratch! Especially when he does striping for the ladies, with his 1 3/4"?? Squirrel hair striping brush (I forgot the length but I think it's towards 2"). And specialty custom art for us too!! Not to mention the hot rods we all need to be driving right f-ing now !! I'm already getting mine! Don't get too jealous, cause that's exactly what everybody is gonna be over my hot rod biiaaatch!

Sweet...Gotta have the extra special flare. This pinstriping vibe is DEF a good secret, magnet, weapon for getting the hotties. I'm still working on getting my moped gang together. But when I do, you bet your f-ing you know what, I'm getting done up over at Skratch's...right quick. So excited right now...And he stripes helmets too. I'm going stealth vibe though. And... he is doing my hot rod, but I'm kinda thinking I'm gonna do the 47 Chevy truck vibe still...But...I want one of those Ford Coupe things too (I like those rusty ones), with a hat to match!! I also heard that, matte black and primer is kinda played (I didn't think that could ever get played, but I guess that's the case these days....). So we decided that I'm gonna do this matte navy, midnight blue vibe. Shhh don't tell! Cause nobody really knows about these dark matte colors....I've been working on being open minded and sharing lately, so...I'm filling you in on one of my secret spots (Skratch's Garage www.skratchsgarage.net).

Not To Be Reproduced

2008-08-13T20:15:09Z

Not To Be Reproduced is a house in the Hollywood Hills turned vintage boutique/art gallery/performance space. The concept began in the fall of 2007 as a high-end, appointment-only vintage boutique. Mario Testino was one of the first customers and supporters. Courtney Love chose the space to sell pieces from her own vintage and couture collection. And Sally Singer did a write-up of the space for Nov. '07 Vogue, within a month of NTBR's creation. As word spread about the house, actresses like Kate Bosworth, Melonie Diaz and Sophia Bush became customers. And stylist Karl Templer began pulling looks from the store for Steven Meisel's Italian Vogue shoots.

The concept of the house/store lead to the idea of a carefully curated lifestyle space of fashion, music and art. NTBR began hosting salon-style events that have so far included a reading by author A.M. Homes, musical performances by Devendra Banhart, Justin Bond and Weimar NY, actress/singer Jena Malone, and folk-artist Mariee Sioux. As well as a screening by Director M Blash of his film Lying starring Chloe Sevigny. Art on display and for sale in the house, has included works by Tracey Emin, David LaChapelle, Thomas Struth, and Christoph Draeger.

OMG...Can we just talk about what a fox, NTBR owner Justin Kern is?! I just can't even handle how hot this guy is. Seriously...in person he kind of makes me a little nervous (you know I just love when that happens. As long as I don't have to talk much. ha ha ha ha). He is just that f-ing fine! Hurry over and make an appointment. You have got to get a good close up look at this guy. Justin Kern is straight up flawless!! I couldn't think of anything I would rather do, than have Justin pick out hot fabulous gowns to try on. Not only does he have stunna pieces to wear for every occasion...Justin Kern is...is....is seriously towards the top...of the top 4...of the hottest guys in Los Angeles, that I have come across...And I have come across a ton. So...I def am feeling like...I know this to be a fact right now...

Citizens of Humanity Benefit for Mama Kia, Casa de Milagros

2008-07-17T18:30:36Z

Citizens of Humanity (my fave in the whole wide world!! I love love love Jerome Dahan!!) along with Chris Pine, Dustin Hoffman, Mia Kershner, Paula Patton, Rashida Jones, Ryan Haddon and Shiva Rose host an afternoon picnic for Casa de Milagros.
Co-hosted by: Aimee Osbourne, Anita Ko, Ashlee Margolis, Bill Johnson, Brianne Gates, Carly Margolis, Eve Sommer Gerber, Kathy Azarmi Rose, Leah Forester, Mama Kia and Nancy and John Reinisch.

Celebrities in attendance: Sharon and Ozzy Osbourne, Ken Paves, Cheri Oteri, Jordana Brewster and Rob Thicke.

Casa de Milagros (Home of Miracles) is a children's home in the Sacred Valley near historic Machu Picchu, Peru. It was founded by the Chandler Sky Foundation to heal the mind, body and spirit of many of the thousands of orphaned and abandoned children living in poverty on the streets of Cusco, Peru and surrounding towns. Casa de Milagros provides shelter, food, clothing, basic medical care, and education and arts programs that promote self-confidence and self-worth for children in need. This is done in a truly unique environment in which progressive programs are used to foster a healthy and positive consciousness. Based on the philosophy that we must start at the root of the problem, healing and educating children so that they can give back to their community, The Chandler Sky Foundation aims to provide positive long-term benefits to the region's social and environmental problems.

Ken Pave is also my fave!! I love Ken. He is so fun and fabulous!!

I like this Tevaliz...www.tevalize.com

I gotta talk about this Mona Vie for a quick sec!! I just love this nutritional beverage!!!...I have not been able to stop thinking about this, ever since I did a taste test. It contains Brazillian acai berry, which is one of the most powerful yet delicate fruits in the world, 19 fruits (including acai) and is loaded with antioxidants, phytonutrients, amino acids, vitamins and trace minerals. I love this stuff!!! I almost felt like I was taking a shot of wheatgrass, but it tasted way better (berry flavor)!! www.monavie.com

So...There was def some really cool stuff going on at the back of the party...All sorts of natural, healthy and new age services. Which we are digging...

I love Brad Kronen!!!! Ok, can we just talk about the tarot reading he gave me for a quick sec....?!!!! Well I'll tell you what he told me...(so!! excited!!)...Ok...Basically...He said...that I am going to be in love and in this super healthy relationship with the raddest person I have ever heard of. The whole reading was about this dude. And you know I have had my eye on somebody too, but I am not quite sure what I think yet....We shall see...what transpires next...Brad told me that, this is going to be a very slow process, unlike anything I have ever had before (straight up marriage material)...And he told me that one of my x's will crop up like a bad nightmare and try to foil my fab new relationship (a water sign)...And I know who that is too...But I can't tell you...And then he said that I have been working super hard and I am such a good person (very true, very true) and other stuff too, that I can't tell you!! Brad is also doing my natal chart right now too...He sure broke down the first section of my chart to the next level. I have never heard anything like what he told me and so far it was quite accurate. I think he is real, real good.
I am only talking to Brad Kronen from now on. I think he's money. www.fingerofdestiny.com (soon to be astrologertarotreader.com)
Intuitive readings...Looks like fun.

Not only did we have great convo with Ken Pave, but we also got to chit chat with this little hottie. Love this guy and he had a really hot French type accent. Love French accents (très chaud)!!

Love Casa de Milagros!!

Vintage LA Book signing at Ron Robinson Fred Segal Melrose

2008-07-04T06:50:42Z

Jennifer Brandt Taylor (ELLEgirl columnist and author of Life is a Movie Starring You) is pleased to announce the debut of her new book Vintage LA (HarperCollins).

I love this book! This def put a smile on my face when I went through it. I'm such a die hard Angeleno and usu like to think "I know it all," especially when it comes to LA and surrounding areas. Obvi, that's just not the case. This book is filled with fabulous information on excellent vintage and used shopping spots, book stores, historic hotels, old school eatery's, record stores, bars, theater's and famous landmarks, in all of the coolest areas of Los Angeles.

As Jennifer puts it, "Vintage LA is an all-encompassing guide for the connoisseur of the used. It's a tome where you'll find no reproductions-all places covered are purely for the true-blue, old-school history seekers and collectors of secondhand coolness."

(Two thumbs up)

Love!
