The Strokes' Albert Hammond Jr. Celebrates "This Ain't No Picnic" Festival with a Demarco Big Mac, Reservations Required.

 By Laura Medina

Music nexus, Winston House, throw a "This Ain't No Picnic" pre-party celebrating the Millennial music festival by the same people who throw Coachella.

Albert Hammond, Jr, from "The Strokes" was the guest DJ leading the party.


Winston House is also a restaurant.  It's a place where food, music, and a friendly hospitality intercross. Whenever there's a special celebrating a festival or a genre, Winston House does a one-night only menu celebrating the artist or festival.  This the Demarco Big Mac Burger, in honoring one of "This Ain't No Picnic" performers.

Winston House started out housing and feeding young musicians starting out and starving in the beginning.  In fact, Cole Hutzler from Beauty School Dropout, used to intern at Winston House while working his way up the music/hospitality business. When Beauty School Dropout got their feet wet, Winston House was kind enough to let them do a concert there.

What used to be on the Sunset Strip, has now landed at Winston House.

Since Sun Bum...and Tower 28 Beauty are all above on-the-go sunscreen makeup you can toss in your jeans pockets or bag, this sunscreen scribe shows you can add dimension with just two Sun Bum Tinted Lip Balms using ombre makeup application of first shading for depth and contour with the deeper nude bronze and plum shades of Bonfire and Raisin Hell then spotlight by highlighting the eyelid center orb, the high cheekbones and the cupid bow of the lips with the light, flesh tones of: Sunset Cove and Sand Bar. Use the medium bronze of Nude Beach for all over natural bronzer, in and out of surf.


Tower 28 Beauty is named after a real-life lifeguard stand that sits on the boundary of the more yuppy, posh Santa Monica and the more urban, bohemian, and gritty Venice Beach where the life guards do have to double as cops.

For the founder, Tower 28 represents the real LA women who span up and down LA's coast from the far-reaches of Northern Malibu to deep within Hollywood's canyons.  Whether she lives on the beaches or drives to surf from funky "Bourgeois Bohemian" Silverlake, Tower 28 is the crossroads that represents all sorts of LA women, not just one stereotype of just one neighborhood.

What started as convenient "on the go" multipurpose makeup that goes with all sorts of the LA Woman with sensitive skin, Tower 28 Beauty represents a lifestyle that unifies surfer and beach girls all over the place, anywhere.  From being pocket-friendly in size and budget to using two or three BeachPlease Lip + Cheek Cream Blushes as contours and highlighters.

Tee-d off? Go "Sideways" While "Caddyshack-ing" at Topgolf LA, Reservations Required.

 By Laura Medina


Opening way back in April 2022, Topgolf LA in open territory of the South Bay, anything within Los Angeles County that's below LAX Airport, specifically LA's aerospace/military emerging El Segundo.

Topgolf LA opened at the optimal moment, Summer vacation.  Families conquered it through-out the whole summer, and so have corporate parties.


Don't worry, once the kids return to school, dating during lunch or a girls' or a boy's nights out are back starting Fall.


On each and every three floors, there are full-serviced bars with televisions circling the bar, making each and every bar a darn good sports bar.

Walking out to the outdoor-fans ledge are the actual golfing bays, individual golfing station and lounge, where for a single hour price, it can host a single person just wanting to relax to a party of 6, to party.
This is elevated put-put golfing but way more stylish.

At each golfing bay, there's automatic golfing station that records how many hits and how far ranges while basically, keeping score. At the golfing club rack, you can pick any club, try and feel which feels the best then you select which club feels the best to swing.

By waving your golfing club in front of the golfing station, it will automatically spits out the golf ball, put it on the putting green then away you go, swinging until you get the feel for it.

Don't worry, Topgolf LA is a zero judgement zero.

If you want to make it a day party and the one hour, two hours and the ultimate three hours fees can host a single up to a six guests and friends and a family, Topgolf can cater and bring the restaurant/bar  to your lounge, so you and your guests and family don't have to desert their or your golfing session. The party comes to your golfing, which is first and foremost.


There's a reason Topgolf LA picked under the radar El Segundo, a space with lakes. Directly outside the main golfing building is the Topgolf the Lakes, a more traditional outdoor golf course but no less fun and way looser than the traditional country club.

The main Topgolf LA and the outdoor Topgolf at the Lakes both have bars and do give you clubs or you can bring your own clubs.  As for the more traditional outdoor Topgolf at the Lakes course, they have roving beverage carts that will come to you, to quench your thirst.

Good news to my hometown, Topgolf Charleston is coming soon!

A Gastropub, A Clothing Boutique, A Barbershop, A Tattoo Parlor, & An Event Venue, From London to LA, The Bike Shed is Emporium That Treats the Biker Lifestyle with Respect & Quality.

 By Laura Medina


A good many moons ago, during an UCLA marketing class, I'd pitched an "anti-Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf" cafe that catered quality coffee & tea and gourmet treats to bikers and motorcyclists (you truly need serious cash to ride a darn good motorcycle).

Guess what?! That day has come, from London.  Bike Shed Motorcycle Company has landed in, of course, Downtown LA's Arts District for the sheer size and volume.

It's huge with proper British Victorian burnish steel and copper furnishings, dotted with vintage American motorcycles through-out the emporium

Yes, it's an emporium, housing a full fancy gastropub/restaurant doing full breakfast/lunch/dinner with proper English tea and scones paired with fresh, foamy beer on tap.  There are just as many, if not more, vegans in London as there are in LA. Yes, The Bike Shed has a vegan menu for all you rugged vegans, https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0531/9760/2973/files/Tabloid_Full_Menu_BSMC_LA.pdf?v=1649701724
A better than average dive, to fuel up.

It's an upscale biker hang-out that shows love and respect to motorcycle lovers.  For the average car driver, they'll still welcome them but the on-site, free parking is for motorcyclists only.

However, it's still a great place to just relax and chill.  The longer, the better.

You can get a fresh trim at the barbershop.  You can get a fresh tattoo. You can outfit your moto wardrobe in the clothing boutique, all under one roof.

If y'all bikers want to throw a party, you can do it in the event venue/gallery, all housed under one roof.

Curious?  Drop by at 1580 Industrial Street Los Angeles 90021 United States. You can call them at
