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.

'Beauty' and the style beat

Personally, I’ve never really been one for nostalgia. I just think it’s too much work. Also, my pre-college life was essentially an 18-year-long awkward phase—something I was never that fond of having documented. Since graduation, I’ve made progress, embracing the concert pin and the diner matchbook as mementos I may someday put to good use. I may die alone—if my recent romantic excursions are any indication of what is to come—but at least I’ll have a shoebox full of movie ticket stubs to keep me company while I grow old.

Something both momentous and more useful I'm planning on acquiring is a t-shirt from the Beauty Bar Collection—set to launch May 4th online—available at De La Barracuda on Melrose. If I could count rhe number of times I've stumbled home from a night out at the original Beauty Bar—located on 14th St. in New York City—then, well, it wouldn't be as fun of a place as it is. I've yet to experience the joy that is Beauty Bar in Los Angeles, so I'm hoping that it lives up to its East Coast predecessor. At the very least I know I'll be going home with a t-shirt, if not a lapse in better judgement that has both a first and a last name.

About Blogger

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).
