Metromix LA Blog

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.

'Sex' and the style editor

I’m not blogging about Miley Cyrus. You see, in a few weeks, something of much greater significance is occurring in the small world of things I actually care about and I have to conserve all of my hysterical energy for it. I hate to sound like a cliché as I write this witty, column-like blog—which is published in a metropolitan city on a weekly basis along with my photograph—but I’m beyond ecstatic about the May release of the Sex and the City movie.   

I wouldn’t say that Carrie Bradshaw is the reason I wanted to become a writer—at least not publicly. Still, the effect that the HBO series has had on me is undeniable, both in my writing style and my wardrobe choices—I wore zebra print pants to the office last week. I should really hate the show for propagating the mythic, glamorous life of a freelance writer—only to have that bubble popped almost as soon as I left my first job interview and my car had been towed—and yet, the love is still there. Even the episodes with character names and plotlines contrived solely to serve the episode’s theme are good. What’s that? That happens every episode? Nevertheless, I still adore it—even if it does make me a living, breathing, writing wannabe. Just call me Sarah Jessica Marcos.

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).
