Priv Brings the Glam Home to Mom or Taking Mom to Burke Williams Day Spa, Treat Her.

 By Laura Medina




Moms now a days do everything. A great majority of single moms are both mom and dad, all rolled up in one.

Well, if you’re old enough to drink and old enough to start your own family, you’re old enough and mature enough to treat your mom to a relaxing, replenishing, and rejuvenating spa experience, feeding her soul back.

If you all are enough to live in the greater Los Angeles area, do bring her to your nearest Burke Williams Spa. Very convenient, these day spas will repair your mom while you all will have enough time to treat her to brunch or a very nice dinner. 


Your mom feeling out of date since she sacrifices and devotes so much time to you?

Give her the ease and the confidence by hiring Priv, hair and makeup styling that comes to you. A secret of the stars for premieres and awards nights, give mom the star treatment to give her that extra boost of glamourous confidence, especially for brunch or dinner.

Mother’s Day is Cinderella Day and Night for moms.

Catch Kendra Erika Every Tuesday Night at 8pm, at Lisa Vanderpump’s SUR in Heart of WeHo.

 By Laura Medina



If you’re in West Hollywood, the “Hollywood,” that everyone thinks Hollywood is, pay a visit to Lisa Vanderpump’s SUR then make a dinner reservation on Tuesday night, at 8pm.

Not only you’re getting a taste at Lisa Vanderpump’s SUR (yes, the one on Bravo’s “Real Housewives of Beverly Hills and Lisa Vanderpump’s Bravo franchises), you’ll catch a rising star, dance-pop singer, Kendra Erika.

She made her red carpet debut, last Wednesday night at a packed SUR, where she launched her single, “Self Love.”

Since she’s performing every Tuesday night at 8pm, might as well catch her.

Show her some love.

Chevy Metal’s Afterparty Ignites Beach Life Festival’s First Night.



 By Laura Medina



Chevy Metal is and was a side project band by Foo Fighters’ late, departed drummer, Taylor Hawkins, where he just rocks out covers of classic rock and heavy metal classic standards.

Taylor’s cover band is an elusive, hidden band that only music industry insiders in Topanga Canyon/Malibu only know about because that’s they usually rock out. Given the late Taylor Hawkins’ Foo Fighters’ recording and touring schedules, Taylor’s Chevy Metal band can sneak off on a mini tour or an one-off night at a local bar or club, mostly a country honky tonk deep in the Malibu/Ventura country valley. Maybe, once in awhile, they’ll pop up in a Malibu dive. Once in awhile, a celebrity rocker friend will make a special guest appearance, usually singing lead.

However, Beach Life Festival holds a special place for Chevy Metal. The band played a slot during the festival’s inception, 2019.

Talk about legacy, Taylor Hawkins’ son, Shane took over his late dad’s drummer duties in his dad’s band, Chevy Metal.

Shane set his foot print, when he and Chevy Metal ignited Beach Life Festival’s opening night with an intimate, insider party at the music industry heavy, The Venice West.


Since Chevy Metal has an history of having legendary rock singers singing lead with the band (once in awhile, Dave Gorhl will help out), for this inaugural yet intimate concert, legendary punk rocker and character actor, Lee Ving sang with the band, more like rock out with them. Yelling and screaming like the punk rocker, he is.

Local rockers and music industry folks know they’re lucky enough to catch Chevy Metal whenever and wherever, they suddenly pop up.

However, Chevy Metal is going on tour soon.

Keep your eyes and ears out soon, Chevy Metal will be at Bottle Rock Festival soon, where culinary stars mash up with food and wine-loving rockers. It’s a more sophisticated version of Coachella. 



A Laid Back “Laurel Canyon,” Afternoon with The Dawes Honoring Rock Photographer, Henry Diltz.

 By Laura Medina




Lovers of the Sixties’ and Seventies’ folk/country-rock and pop emitting from Laurel Canyon, the Hollywood Hills border between Hollywood’s urban Sunset Strip and the suburban Valley, showed up for Henry Diltz, the photographer who documented the emergence of that laid back sound by The Byrds, Joni Mitchell, and Jackson Brown.

Ethan Hawke, Duran Duran’s Simon Le Bon, Alice Cooper, and The Who’s Roger Daltrey showed up for this jam-packed, intimate laidback Sunday afternoon.

This easygoing, mellow country/folk rock/pop genre born out of Laurel Canyon, is continuing to this day, with a new of mellow rockers, like The Dawes, who performed a chill, intimate set.

This all happened after the excitement of Coachella and revelry of Stagecoach and the early windstorm emergency closing of Beach Life Festival that same day, at that same time.

The Dawes paying tribute to the Laurel Canyon sound, that Henry Diltz historically preserved, was a relaxing ending to a fun-filled charged month of Coachella and Stagecoach, that are igniting this current Summer of music festivals.

Chill.
