Catholic School Girls Rule the World

LAist sometimes is invited to parties. Sometimes it's a backyard BBQ. Sometimes it's a dinner party. Sometimes it's LAist's friend's two-year-old's birthday party.
However, sometimes it's a Hollywood film production company's high school-themed summer party where every girl dresses up as a slutty Catholic school girl.

Production company Hard C, headed by director Jason Reitman and producer Daniel Dubiecki, hosted this particular shindig at The Highlands at Hollywood & Highland this past Saturday. The Hard C team were behind 2005's Thank You For Smoking.
LAist would like to thank Hard C and their guests for being smoking... hot.



Catherine Reitman, sister to Jason and daughter of director Ivan,
does her best Sailor Moon. I guess she's an exchange student.





While the ladies made the greatest contributions of the night, the
fellas stepped up -- perhaps even high-stepped up -- as well.

At LAist, we believe in journalism without censorship and the right of a free press to speak truth to those in power. Our hard-hitting watchdog reporting on local government, climate, and the ongoing housing and homelessness crisis is trustworthy, independent and freely accessible to everyone thanks to the support of readers like you.
But the game has changed: Congress voted to eliminate funding for public media across the country. Here at LAist that means a loss of $1.7 million in our budget every year. We want to assure you that despite growing threats to free press and free speech, LAist will remain a voice you know and trust. Speaking frankly, the amount of reader support we receive will help determine how strong of a newsroom we are going forward to cover the important news in our community.
We’re asking you to stand up for independent reporting that will not be silenced. With more individuals like you supporting this public service, we can continue to provide essential coverage for Southern Californians that you can’t find anywhere else. Become a monthly member today to help sustain this mission.
Thank you for your generous support and belief in the value of independent news.
