No, your eyes are not deceiving you. This is not a test. This is REAL, people!



Spending time with your family on Christmas may get you thinking about boozing up on New Years Eve...but where to go?
If you don't want to spend a ton of money to wade through vomit and spilled drinks in an over crowded club, go to South!
That's right! Everyones favourite westside party bar will be throwing a big ole' New Years Eve bash with no cover. They'll also be serving up a complimentary shot to toast the new year for each time zone and a free champagne toast to ring in midnight our time.


StCool! The up-and-coming eco-friendly city of Santa Monica has decided to start recycling oils and grease.
That's right-the very same kind of high cholesterol inducing, artery clogging substances found in the frying bins of most restaurants and some homes!
The city's recycling coordinator Wes Thompson said Monday that Santa Monica has partnered with Los Angeles-based GeoGreen to convert the cooking waste into biofuel with the goal of reducing greenhouse gas emissions and dependence on fossil fuels.
Restaurants can dump their shiz at parking structures 2 through 6 and private residents can recycle their FOG (fat, oil and grease) at the city's Household Hazardous Waste Facility at 2500 Michigan Ave. (East of the 10 Freeway at Cloverfield. Hours: Wed - Fri 7:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m.; Sat. 7:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m).




Recessionistas and fashionistas rejoice!
The W Hotel and StyleSectionLA are solving both the age old problem of "I have nothing to wear!" and at the same time helping us all be a bit more environmentally and pocket-change conscious.
Arm yourselves with up to 10 cocktail dresses and meet with other like minded/pocketed ladies on Monday, November 16th for a Cocktail Dress Swap!

Your cocktail dresses should be in near new condition and still wearable (so don't try to pawn off your super-crap!). Any leftovers that are not traded or swaped will be donated to the Women Helping Women foundation.
The hair pulling and foot stomping trading fun happens from 6:30-8:30PM, but you have to RSVP to attend to laevents@whotels.com.
Specialty Cocktails will be provided and the first 50 guests to attend will receive a special gift from Make Love Not Trash!
