With celebrity judges like the luscious Molly Ringwald the search for the wittiest and most amusing story is on! Prepare yourself for a bedtime story that will leave you with a side ache.

Though I recognize that there are many people out their who may or may not support the political platform of the Democratic Nominee, my own political convictions quite obviously veer to the left. As much as I support the democratic party I highly encourage everyone to educate themselves on both sides of the coin. My only hope is that when we vote in November, that we recognize that the status of our country is in a clear and steady decline and I urge you to take into consideration that we are all in this together. On that note all proceeds from this event will go to the Obama campaign. Don't forget to VOTE!

Just because this band only has one girl in it and she isn't Brazilian doesn't mean this band isn't a legitimate sound powerhouse. With the recent release of their new album NEW YORK CITY in August this performance is right on schedule and is certain to be a good time!

Funky Munky King Toy Store is hosting a charity auction of original custom designed toys. In conjunction with The Mattel Children's Foundation, these custom collectables will be sold through a silent auction, the proceeds of which will be donated to The Art of Elysium Foundation. The money will benefit children battling serious medical conditions.
Not only is this a worthy cause, but these collectables are amazing, funky, and trendy! Custom toy collecting has grown in popularity over the last few years and much more so with the influx of the bizzar yet intriguing toys and figurines produced by Japanese favorite Takashi Murakami.
These artistic wonders will make you wonder why you ever stopped playing with Toys.

Mark Acetelli is one of my favorite LA painters, so you can image how pleased I was to see that he was also working with photography. What is even more exciting, is that his photography is just as viceral and raw as the paintings I know and love him for. Acetelli amazes me with
everything that he does. This is my pick of the week.

So I happened to stumble upon this local band through my brother, who interned for the lead singer this summer. I was rather skeptical at first, mostly because the band name didn't exactly sound very appetizing...but a few tracks in and I was hooked to the sticky, warm, feel-good vibe that this band emulates. I have a major sweet-tooth for this band and will be eating my fill of
their sweet-treat sound waves this Saturday!
