Sometimes an event is so compelling that it's capable of converting even the most freewheeling, non-planners into a type-A time watchers. Buy a calendar and write this down. Sunday, August 21 is Topless Day. more ›

While the rains yesterday helped alleviate some of the dryness under which southern California has been hampered, it did little to lessen the worries of those in fire-stricken areas. Streaming rivers of rain created mudslides and prompted officials to call for mass evacuations. Flash flood warnings remain in effect. But, hey, it's LA, and today was clear and beautiful. A woman who poisoned her Marine husband to buy a boob job with the insurance... more ›

It's sexy, it's sacrilegious, it's scandalous, and it's just in time for Christmas. LA's hottest art curator Lenora Claire has done it again with a new collection of saucy art pieces guaranteed to get folks hot and bothered. Mixing Christmas themes with ample female breasts and featuring the work of Austin Young, Kitten Natividad, Buff Monster, and our fave the Gay Bigfoot, among others, Claire chose not to rest on her laurels of the... more ›

Phew! Today, be thankful this is not you. Apparently, Arnold Schwarzenegger said this at one point: "I love Thanksgiving turkey... it's the only time in Los Angeles that you see natural breasts." Parking in Beverly Hills is now a little better, just in time for Holiday shopping. Four parking structures will double their free parking from one to two hours. Residents, merchants and New York City retailers are rejoicing. 167 people in Riverside County... more ›

Aaaah, Beverly Hills - Los Angeles' beacon of wealth and privilege. I don't think I've been there in over ten years. But on Tuesday I had an entire day to just wander the streets. Normally, I don't trust popular opinion. Maybe it's because I grew up in the 80s, when popular opinion gave us big shoulder pads, bigger hair, the Star-Wars defense system, Hall and Oats and Chubacca-like eyebrows. But that mistrust caused me... more ›

Big Bad Mama, a 1974, Roger Corman-produced breasts-and-bullets flick, features the brilliant tagline, "The family that slays together, stays together." This B-movie version of Bonnie & Clyde is set in 1932 Texas and stars Angie Dickinson as a bootlegging, bank-robbing mom who joins up with Tom Skerritt and William Shatner to bilk society for all they can get. In between the robbing and killing are numerous sexy romps. more ›

Spring is when we get busy here in the Ist-A-Verse. Very busy. But, after staying bundled-up indoors all winter, it's nice for us to be out, about, and collecting things to write about for you. Here's a glimpse at what's been keeping your favorite citybloggers busily away from home and out of bed. more ›

Grindhouse The Girl from Starship Venus (AKA The Sexplorer) is a space nudie starring Monika Ringwald as an astronaut from Venus who lands in London's swinging Soho district circa 1975. Her mission? To research sex customs on the planet Earth. This is paired with The Legend of the Wolf Woman, a 1976 horror film from Italy whose title pretty much says it all. A beautiful woman seeks men out, has sex with them then turns... more ›

If you've been scoring at home, LAist has given up fast food and drive-thrus for Lent. Now, we're not Catholic or anything, we just think Lent is a convenient excuse to do something good for ourselves. It hasn't been that painful to toss some tuna into a bowl and mix a tad of mayo in there and serve it on toast. It hasn't been that horrible to use the George Foreman to bust with... more ›

Most vanilla Oscars ever. Ellen DeGeneres wasn't a bad host. But she wasn't a good one. Her mildly funny jokes and conversational good nature made it feel like we were watching a daytime talk show host wallowing in the oversized britches of a big-time awards ceremony. Oh wait, we were. Thank you, Ellen DeGeneres, for proving that queers can be as bland and conventional as breeders. Jerry Seinfeld's presentation of the feature documentary award was... more ›

Last week an Orange County jury saved a former cop from a 10 year prison sentence when they said that although David Alex Park's semen was found on the sweater of a woman he pulled over soon after leaving her job at a gentleman's club, that the sex was consensual, because, as the defense attorney told the jury, "she got what she wanted, she’s an overtly sexual person." According to reports by the LA... more ›

My best friend's fiancé flirts with me all the time. I hang out with them a lot, but every time she's not around, he crosses the line. He'll do things like tell me how pretty I look, or say things like, "I was thinking about you the other day and then you called. It was so weird." Why was he thinking of me? And he says it with this knowing look. A flirty look. more ›

In a publicity move you'll find under the "How to Revive a Flailing Career" chapter, Tara Reid went public today with the story that she had to undergo more surgery to undo damage to earlier boob job and lipo procedures. more ›

Part of an on-going series of posts by people who have never been to our fair city but who want to. This is what they think of when they daydream about LA, this is what they think it's all about. more ›

We were told after their Friday night performance, that we had been their toughest audience yet. We didn't laugh quite as heartily or as often as others had before us. We didn't gasp or sigh or exhale audibly at all the key moments in each woman's solo scenes. Well, it wasn't for lack of interest in the subject matter. more ›

All this dampness around town lately has us fighting the sniffles and feeling like blankets and hot toddies are the best way to spend days so we didn't get to do half of what we wanted to this weekend like making it to the opening reception of the Keep A Breast art exhibit and auction at The Lab 101 gallery. The auction is a fundraiser for the Breast Cancer Youth Awareness program and features some very interesting casts of interesting breasts of interesting people from both California and NY. We're especially fond of Caia Koopman's art over The Donnas' Maya Ford's chest but check the rest of them out. You can bid on them online so if, like LAist, you're trying to avoid braving the elements you get to still participate but why not venture out to Culver City and see them yourself? more ›

Roll over, Oscar Wilde. The funniest, most absurd, most farcical show in town is David Greenspan's She Stoops To Comedy at the Evidence Room. more ›

Well, maybe not Picasso but tonight's Kick Ass Art Show (mildly NSFW) is where art and the adult film industry come together. Kick Ass Pictures (which proudly claims that all their videos feature real breasts and no condoms) hosts an art show/party at their downtown warehouse featuring artists like Marleigh Atherton (artwork pictured) and Michael Hayden as well as work from the current Alan Scott Gallery exhibit featuring Westside Underground artists. more ›

Tomorrow is an epic day for all of you fans of Troy. No, LAist speaks not of the cumbersome, homo-erotic, overlong and overhyped Brad Pitt fiasco from this past summer, but rather of a certain press conference occurring within the holy walls of the University of Southern California. more ›

According to market research obtained by GPS, Inc, the company staging the Expo, Los Angeles is the city where more cosmetic procedures are performed than anywhere else in the United States. more ›

LAist often spends Monday mornings thinking back fondly to the time when our parents and their parents tumbled out of bed and stumbled to the kitchen and poured themselves a cup of ambition, and yawned and stretched and tried to come to life...It's just too bad for them that coffee wasn't the big business that it is today. more ›

Marketing experts are hard at work to make LA look even classier than ever. Launced two months ago at the E3 Expo, T-Shirt TV is a new service that focuses the viewer's attention on the, uh, more noticeable parts of marketing. 11-inch flat screen televisions are mounted inside t-shirts worn by young, attractive marketers who are instructed to chat up event patrons at movie theaters and other events. Though the marketers must be talkative and outgoing to garner attention, their conversational skills don't really matter. All the attention is centered at chest level. more ›
