do you ever get the feeling that everyone you meet these days is a stylist? well matt really is a stylist and everyone tells me he’s one of the best and most respected here in LA. if his work is as good as his jokes are funny then we’re in for some serious respect calls so watch this space for more of him in the future.

designer katy rodriguez and her main man, skateboarding legend tony alva, are what you could call a definite golden couple here in LA. katy played the part of saviour for me in a big way last night after i spent 90 minutes in a cab with a driver who didn’t know where he was going. i finally arrived at a party for cartier in beverly hills to report on it for style.com, only to be denied entry. “there are only fifteen minutes remaining. we’ve already had a lot of press” said some dweeb of a try-hard PR at the door. “we’ve had red carpet, in style magazine, etc” were his exact words.

now let us not be primadonna here. but let’s remember that style.com, the online home of vogue, is the number one fashion web site on the internet. how does denied entry at a fashion week event even make its way into this equasion?
welcome to LA!

back to katy, after the cartier incident, my only remaining hope to get shots in on time for a 9am send-off the next morning was a jeremy scott after-party. cabless on rodeo drive, i was five seconds short of a panic attack when lo and behold, katy calls out my name from the backseat of a car stopped at a red light beside me. i ask if she’s heading to jeremy’s party. she says yes and offers me a ride. the right place at the right time? hmm..maybe. but i still think katy is an angel.

sixteen year-old model kristina m (distant cousin of christiane f for namesake purposes perhaps?) obligingly poses on her way to walk in the ed hardy show at smashbox studios yesterday.

posso spat-maker (if that is indeed such a word), part-time deejay and full-time gorgeous lady, marylouise isn’t afraid of a little leotard over the top of the tights action.
