Okay. So, we know Teddy's is closed. Tropicana was cool too. But, what could possibly replace them? Well, you would have to look to the person who created them in the first place: Amanda Scheer Demme

Just when you thought there was nowhere  left to hang in Hollywood, the doyenne of LA nightlife has done it again with H'Wood, opening soon. 

I'm pretty sure, I'm not suppose to write about this, but it's so cool that I'm convinced I won't be able to get in once it's officially opens so here goes.

On Saturday, H' Wood, as it will be known, was in it's virginal state, that is, it hasn't been pissed on by celebs and paps. It isn't even officially open, but I was there.

..To celebrate with my dear friend Cliff's birthday and the fact that he just finished decorating the 7 thousand sq. ft. club. Here are together along with our friends Denise and Bill. 

Every lick of furniture was placed by the talented Cliff. I''m not going to try and explain what's going on in there. It's insane.   Think the set of Gotham meets Gentlemen's Club on X.  

Cliff did a fantastic job.  H' Wood (not such a great name) is an indoor-outdoor space that backs up to the Kodak Theatre (ew) but, I'm sure it's primed for post Oscar parties and general celeb indulgence. Still, that part of Hollywood is not my favorite.  

 Once through the doors, you will be transported into sheer elegance. No detail is left to chance. From the hyper attractive urchin boys who work there (dressed in Cliff's designs) to the bar seats from a Seattle airport to the perfectly exposed (fake?) brick walls, the place oozes sophistication.   It just feels like the perfect fantasy. And the perfect place to be bad, very, very bad. 

 There are multiple floors. Some rooms are outdoor, some tucked in a corner. You can smoke, place chess,  sneak in without being snapped. And of course, be very bad. The place inspires naughtiness. You could have it off on a lovely piece of post modern furniture and no one would ever know. 

It was fun to wander through the space while it was empty and imagine what it will be like once it's open. Of course, I won't be back for that.   

I don't know when the H'Wood is officially opening. But, if you drive by N. Orange and see a sea of paps outside, it's open.

Here we are together with our friends Denise and Bill.
