Russell Brand To Host Swap Meet At Beverly Center 5/27

Attention all actors and hoarders in LA:  Comedian and actor Russell Brand is scheduled to host ‘Buy Love Here,’ a swap meet type event on Thursday.

“Buy Love Here‘ is a pop up and exchange shop, where for one day money will have no currency. The shop is the brain child of British comic Russell Brand and will take place between 2pm and 6pm on Thursday the 27th of May 2010, at The Beverly Center in Los Angeles.

The idea is to raise debate about the scale of consumer culture and to promote the re-use of products in a surplus society. It is a social experiment to examine shopping habits whilst providing an opportunity for Russell to speak directly with the public and gauge opinion. The day will be filmed as part of an ongoing documentary Russell is currently filming about the pursuit of happiness.”

Katy Perry, Adrian Grenier and Perez Hilton are scheduled to be part of the event. Art by Shepherd Fairey will be on display.

Santa Monica Restaurant Closes Down After Being Caught Serving Whale Meat

Whoa!  That was quick.  After being busted a few weeks back for serving endangered whale meat, Hump restaurant has decided to close up shop.  From their website:

Good riddance!

Coco De Mer Sale

Valentines day is over but sexy times is year round.

Coco de Mer is one of my favorite stores in LA and they’re having a sale starting this week and it’s not to be missed.  This might be the time for me to pick up that sustainable rubberwood paddle I’ve been wanting.

Oh god!  I just went on the website to pull some pictures and I found my new obsession.  A jade cock ring!!!  To be worn as a bracelet, of course. ;  )

It’s A Wrap

People often ask what we do with the clothes we purchase for videos, commercials and movies.  From my experience, they’re usually turned into the production company.  I know much of it is kept or gifted out but sometimes it gets to the point where you just don’t need another pair of jeans or a sweater set used on a mom character in a Fed Ex commercial.

Welcome to It’s a Wrap.  It’s where the clothes used on actors end up and it’s open to the public.  Most of the items are brand new or have only been worn once or twice.   The clothes range from the Gap to various designer labels.  I found an unworn pair of Gucci shoes for  $250 and a kick ass Vivienne Westwood skirt for $75.

Definitely worth a visit.

Look What Washed Up On Our Beaches

Southern California beaches delivered our own trash right back at us after last week’s storms.  Rubber tires, shoes, bottles, cans, toys, food wrappings, shopping carts and over all crap washed up on shores, putting the Department of Public Works on overtime mode to clean it up before the next rain comes in which is supposed to be today.

Next time that trash falls out of your car and you just leave it, remember that winds and rain eventually pull that into our storm drains, creeks and riverbeds which leads into our oceans.  Take pride, don’t litter.

Ojai, California

I had the best weekend ever celebrating the new year and upcoming birthdays with a group of friends in Ojai, California. We stayed on a private ranch with 4 cabins, 1 pool, 2 separate jacuzzis and patios.  It was amazing that this small hidden paradise was only an hour away from our concrete jungle.

If you’re looking for a weekend retreat with friends and family, I would definitely recommend the Rolling Thunder Ranch or one of their other properties.

Thanks to everyone that made this a special weekend!

PS.- Below are bday gifts I gave out to my friends.  Instead of buying paper bags and making waste, I reused my shoe + purse bags!!

My latest find was a bright yellow reusable shopping bag for $9 and a small clutch made from recycled plastic for $14.  Win!

Rent A Living Tree For Christmas

Founded in 2008, the Living Christmas Company, a socially conscious-based business headquartered in Redondo Beach, Calif., introduced a new concept of celebrating the holidays: Renting the highest quality local varieties of living Christmas trees as an environmentally conscious alternative to traditional cut or artificial trees.

You get a live, potted tree delivered to your doorstep. Simply choose from a wide variety of locally-grown trees and they will deliver it to your home or business. After Christmas they ‘ll pick up your tree and return it to their nursery until next year. You can even watch your tree grow as your family grows by adopting the same tree year-after-year.

This year, Living Christmas paired up with Goodwill, so if you have any clutter you want to unload, just have it ready when they come to pick your tree up and they will deliver your donations for you!

I don’t do holiday decorations any more but this is making me want to, especially if the owner- Mr. Scotty Claus is doing the deliveries himself. *wink*

Hit + Run At Environmentaland

I met up with my friend Giles to check out the last night of Environmentaland at the Hollywood & Highland center. There was a band, games, prizes and screen printing done by my friend Mike Crivello’s company Hit + Run.

If you’re looking to give your guests something cool at your next event- look into getting custom tee’s from the H+R team. There are organic cotton styles to choose from and the last time I spoke to Mike, they were looking into getting vegetable dye as an addtional option. WIN!!

Sorry for the lack of pictures of the actual event- my battery died and Giles has an iPhone= no flash.

Block Montaño Gets Electric

Bumped into Cesario “Block” Montaño -the underground “Mayor of Venice” and fell in love with his old school electric bike. Block keeps it real by skating, walking or biking to his local destinations. The only 4 wheels he supports are the ones on the bottom of a deck.

Block is co-owner of the skate shop Venice Originals and he also directed and co-produced the documentary film, Rising Son: The Legend of Skateboarder Christian Hosoi. Watch the trailer below.

Maria Menunous in Coco Eco Magazine #7

Here is the long awaited Maria Menounos story I styled for Coco Eco Magazine. There were so many good things about this shoot. Maria was an absolute sweetheart to work with and all of the amazing eco-lines we used fit her like a glove (a stylists dream). We shot in the beautiful, solar powered Marrakesh House and had an electric powered, bright orange Tesla delivered specifically for the shoot.

Happy 1st Anniversary Coco Eco mag!

F*CK RINGLING BROS!

Sorry about being out of commission since being back. Busy with work and prepping for my next shoot with Coco Eco Magazine.

I was just sent this link from Perez Hilton. Ringling Bros. had their show (arrived the day of the Michael Jackson Memorial) in LA at the Staples Center- they had a 4 day run beginning on July 9th.

When I heard that a few of my friends were going to the circus that week, my stomach knotted up. I tried explaining to them that the animals (especially the elephants) get beat and it didn’t make a difference. How could it if you only see the glittery show side and not what goes on behind those curtains and what they go through while traveling between cities and in their training sessions?

PETA vice president Daphna Nachminovitch said that their undercover agent “witnessed these elephants being beaten for no apparent reason.”

Ringling Bros. said they could not comment on the video because it had not been viewed yet, but they did say that “PETA is an animal rights extremist group…We are very proud of our animal care, we are committed to the care of all our animals partly through our conservation programs at the Ringling Bros. Center for Elephant Conservation…We have 139 years of experience of working with Asian elephants.”

If you support Ringling Bitchasses this is what your money is contributing to.

Disgusting.

FUCK YOU RINGLING BASTARDS!

One pissed off bitch.

The Staple Center Is Going To Be A Circus Today

Literally! Ringling Brothers and Barnum & Bailey starts a run at Staples Center on Wednesday. In the predawn hours before Jackson’s memorial, the elephants will walk from the train station to the arena.

Boo to the animal torturers known as Ringling Bros!

PS- the pic is from their last Staples Center trip in 2008. I’m cringing for the elephants and at those gas prices!

What The EFF-YU-CEE-KAY?

Went to a herbal store in Chinatown (in LA, it’s more like Vietnam town) with my mom. I was expecting to see some ginseng, cinnamon & ginger. I was not prepared to see this.

Shark fins!!!! At $499 a lb? That’s like 10 fins for 5 bills! I had to ask my mom if that was in US or Vietnamese dollars. She gave me the “Girl are you stupid? We’re in America” side eye.

No wonder why it’s considered a delicacy.

“Finning” refers to the practice of cutting off only the shark fins and discarding the body. Sometimes sharks are dead when they’re pulled into the boats, but often, they’re still alive as their four fins are cut off with a knife. When they’re thrown back into the ocean the sharks either bleed to death, or they drown, because sharks can’t swim without fins, and they need to go forward to get oxygen.

It made me sad to see this. But then I saw something that always puts a smile on my face.

BOOOOOOZE! And then my eyeballs popped outta my head again. WTF?

Mom, are we done here? Lets go. I want to go home and hug my teddy bear and my $40 Costco size bottle of Belvedere.

It has been a natural progression to become a non-profit organization and the bracelets are a wonderful way to raise funds for schools or organizations along with your favorite charity.”

Watch HOME Documentary Online For Free

HOME is a 2009 documentary by Yann Arthus-Betrand (photographer of “Earth from Above” book.). The film is entirely composed of aerial shots of various places around Earth. It shows the diversity of life on Earth and how humanity is threatening the ecological balance of the planet.

The movie was released simultaneously on June 5th (World Environmental Day) in cinemas all over the world, on DVD, TV and on YouTube. Released on the same date in 50 countries is a world record for any film release in history. The film is 100% free, and no profits will be made from its release or future showings.

Making this movie was an unusual risk for its financial backer, one of the planet’s biggest retailing conglomerates, France’s PPR SA. PPR, the maker of Gucci handbags and Puma shoes, paid PPR, the maker of Gucci handbags and Puma shoes, paid 10 million euros ($20.55 million) of the 12 million euro production budget to create HOME.

Laurent Claquin, senior vice-president of corporate social and environmental responsibility at PPR, said the company took a chance on the film.

“It’s true we’re putting ourselves at risk in a way,” said “We’re not perfect yet. We’re never going to be perfect. But we have a duty to act.”

Watch the entire documentary here for free and in HD.

Pics below are from the screening of HOME this past Friday night at the Stella McCartney store.

Haters Of LA- This One’s For You

“I HATE LA!” Have you ever spewed those words outta your mouth? If so, press play.

I only dislike- we all know hate’s a strong word- the Affliction/Ed Hardy tools, the tanorexic silicone barbies, the lack of rain (hey, we could use a little more) the smog, the traffic and the sorry ass public transpo. Other than that, I fucking love LA! And to those of you that hate it so fucking much- get the fuck out!

I’m sure I’ll be seeing some of you at another shitty fuckin’ pool party under the sun with an open bar this weekend.

And another thing I really love.. the word-FUCKING.

LA Gay Marriage Prop 8 Protest

Check out what Perez, George Takei, Mark Hoppus and others had to say this past Tuesday night about the fight for gay marriage.

Also, watch the video below of another great Keith Olbermann WTF moment on how same sex marriage could jump start the economy. It’s no joke.

I think it’s time to prep for the day WHEN it finally happens. I see a career change in my near future-wedding planner or better yet, green wedding consultant! Or professional wedding crasher. I can already think of numerous invites or job opportunities I would get from my gay friends. It’s on!

I know Reverend Eric Lee says the only way to fight hate is with love but the bitch in me wants to tell all the H8TRS to go FUCK THEMSELVES, in a nice way. The fight continues…

Hugs and kisses.

Eco-LogicalART

Eco-LogicalART is a non-profit sister company to Peter Schulberg’s personal recovered element studio, the DejaDesign Gallery. Both entities share his conviction that beautiful objects surround us and only need to be re-envisioned.

With Eco-LogicalART Schulberg takes his theory of creative recovery to ground braking—or rather ground liberating new heights. The gallery’s fine art line features original art painted on recycled billboard vinyl. Tossed into landfills by the ton weekly, this heavy, ink impregnated material is an environmental nightmare. But ECO-LA takes the indestructible nature of the advertising vinyl and turns it into an asset. In fact the art can even hang on an exterior wall.

At 14 by 48 feet it is estimated that over 250,000 people a day will see the free art month long drive-by “exhibit.” To put that in perspective the famed Getty Museum averages about 4000 visitors daily.

The next billboard drop is Saturday June 13th. Go to the site for more info.

Eco-LogicalART is located at 4829 W. Pico Blvd (just east of La Brea) LA, CA, 90019. 310-525-0676
