Adriana Gascoigne and Robyn Cohen Girls in Tech made a splash into the Los Angeles tech scene in December with a launch party and since has held hot events (co-ed so boys you're welcome too) around town for the Girls in Tech...and the people who love them. Girls in Tech is a social network enterprise focused on the engagement, education and empowerment of like-minded, professional, intelligent and influential women in technology.

You know how brutal winter (yes even here in Southern California!) can be on the skin. The change in temperature, both inside your office and home as well as outside can wreak havoc on your skin. Right when I felt like I was hitting a breaking point (or breakout as the case was), I heard about a new skincare salon called Mayet Skincare that opened in Santa Monica, and near blocks from my house,...

Perez Hilton on the "no" carpet LAist had the opportunity to attend Twiistup 3 last week in Venice at the Air Conditioned Supper Club and it was a geek fest you didn't want to miss!

Apparently a Scientologist can be defined by a single question: "Would you want others to achieve the knowledge you now have?" The music, the insane laughter over abbreviations I had to look up (and are provided for you below), the conviction of "knowledge" that most of us do not have. Cue lights. Why it's Tom Cruise in a video made especially for the Scientology community! And even better, it was leaked out to the...

Is it about that time? Time to start winding down for the weekend? And finally, a weekend of sunshine and not rain! We couldn't resist sharing with you a little video to get it going right. An unlikely combination to be sure, after all when was the last time you thought of Tom & Jerry and the Sugarhill Gang in the same sentence? Well it's a tale of friendship, of sticking up for your...

With both David Letterman and Conan O'Brien sporting beards, pop-culture talking heads have been all a buzz of late about the return of the beard. The return of the beard.
