Classic 80's, Hip Hop, Rock and Pop videos are cut to the beats of DJ Spider, DJ Steve1der, Mister Best (Smash Bros.) and DJ Haul. Guaranteed a great way to get the party rolling into Halloween madness, costumes are encouraged. But your fiercest dancing shoes will get you through the door for sure.

2965407109_374a4e34bc_b.jpgThis past Tuesday, October 21 marked the opening of Adele Lack's highly-anticipated solo exhibition "Small Miracles" at The Montalbán Gallery in Hollywood. The Berlin artist created a series of 27 micro paintings that are so small, they require a magnifying glass to view them. The collection of tiny tableaus drew a massive crowd of VIP guests at the private opening and has been generating much attention. Not to be missed, the show will be on view through Sunday, October 26.

WONDERMENTAL-500.jpgLola's Los Angeles solo exhibition "The Wondermental" opens at Corey Helford Gallery on Saturday, October 25. I am looking forward to her highly-anticipated show, which will feature twenty two new works and tells the story of a little boy who escapes from home. In addition to Lola's amazing artistic talent, she handpicks all of the antique frames for her paintings, often finding them at swap meets. Love this special touch!!

WikiHow is one of my favorite daily website stops. I discovered it on my Google homepage a few months ago when I was up late working one night. The headline "How To Practice Airplane Etiquette" caught my attention, and some of the tips had me laughing at 2am, even though most of them are common sense.

Highlights from How To Practice Airplane Etiquette tips...

Don't get drunk during (or before) the flight. You may be having the time of your life, but your fellow passengers may not think so (there are airlines which don't allow any passengers on board suspected of being over the limit on alcohol consumption).


Do not make jokes about bombs or terrorism. The movies don't exaggerate, you really will be removed from a plane and possibly permanently banned from the airline over what you thought was a harmless and obvious joke.


Do not pack strong smelling foods (e.g. tuna sandwich) to eat on the plane.


Taking off your shoes generally will not be appreciated by your neighbors, but if you have to, it would be best to ask first. Removing one's shoes is generally accepted on trans-continental or other very long flights but always be respectful of others.
