We're pathologically social. We're professional leisurists. We're burrito lovers, bar flies, art whores and music nerds. We dish the good dirt, and we'll risk a parking ticket for a cheap sample sale. Sometimes, we blog drunk.

Motel 6 is the new 5 star hotel

Just like Cher Horowitz, my main thrill in life is a makeover. You name it, I've probably tried to change it; from my Republican parents to my naturally curly hair to my major in college to my best friend's obnoxious girlfriend. So, when Motel 6 unveiled plans to reinvent the economy lodging experience by redesigning the interior of their rooms, you'd better believe I was happier than Paula Abdul on prescription refill day.

The simple, functional, modern design is just a prototype—it's called "The Phoenix"—though participating Motel 6 franchises will retrofit their rooms in its image by the summer of 2009. As an affordable alternative to costly, Euro-chic boutique hotels like The Standard and Farmer's Daughter, Motel 6 has officially made it inexcusable for out-of-towners not to visit.

Once upon a hospital bed in Hollywood, Marcos Luevanos entered the world (fashionably late of course) and immediately ordered a martini as dry as his wit and as dirty as his diaper. Little has changed since then (although he no longer wears diapers), as he can often be found dispensing sarcastic musings and astute observations while strutting down the runway of life. Instead of sticking to a signature look, he prefers to dress in genres—ranging from "pirate grandma" to "retro-futuristic space camp vamp" to "Holly Golightly gone goth." His favorites include: Betsey Johnson (designer), Douglas Keeve's "Unzipped" (film on fashion), Linda Evangelista (supermodel), Patricia Field (stylist), and Andy Warhol (style icon).
