We can’t all be saints like our superstar intern Sara Tan, who had her gorgeous locks shorn for Locks of Love. But we can do our part just by partying. The folks at Philantro Productions are all about throwing top-notch events at buzz-worthy clubs as a way to raise money for its non-profit partners via cash donations at the door, raffles and bar tabs. My super fabulous intern Jane Pham hit up Philantro’s last bash at Cabana Club on Thursday, August 30 and was treated to a fashion show by Ray Ray Clothing as well as cocktails care of Effen Vodka and 180 Energy. The mission: to benefit Camp Heartland, an organization dedicated to children affected by HIV/AIDS. Take a peek inside.

Want to get in on a little charitable clubbing? On Saturday, DJ Lady Sha is taking over Tantra to host Sunkissed, an event to benefit HavenHouseLA, a shelter for women and children recovering from domestic violence.

PS. There’s no cover is you RSVP (list@lionessLA.com) and there’ll be gift bags packed with goodies from FIJI, Terra and, um, CondomJungle.

Now if that’s not a good enough reason to drink up, I don’t know what is. 

After all the hubbub about having two separate bars in the state of California named Harlot—the original Harlot is in San Francisco—it seems the L.A. Harlot has decided to change its name before it opens. I just got a voicemail from the bar’s marketing dude Jamie Barren who said that they’re leaning toward calling it Tramp, which would be fitting because Charlie Chaplin used to own the building that houses the West Hollywood bar, or so Jamie says. Whatever they decided on, it’ll most likely still have a hit-you-on-the-head sex-themed name. The bar kicks things off with a soft opening party (“It’s a porn party,” laughs Jamie) on September 27, but won’t open to the public until the first week in October. [Insert “grand opening” joke here.]

I certainly don’t make cocktails as well as well as I drink them, so I appreciated this overheard advice from the bartender at Bar Marmont last night. 

"The secret to a good cocktail is to shake it like it done something wrong to you."

If anyone would know, it'd be him. Bar Marmont serves the best classic cocktails, especially the (ice cold) Pimm’s Cup.
