After Getting Down & Dirty While Getting Hot, Sultry, & Sweaty with NFL Kick-Off Beach Party, Beach Ranch Life, & Duran Duran Firework Finale, Clean Up Then Refresh with Molton Brown Samphire Body Wash.

 By Laura Medina

Sweating out among the crowds during NFL Kick-Off Beach Party with J. Blavin concert then Duran Duran's sold-out Firework Finale, you are going to be sticky and dirty and nasty when others sweat on you then the cooling ocean breezes blow on you, coating you in sand.

Once "did it, done it," while celebrating the end of Summer, during an Indian Summer Heat Wave, you'll love nothing more than scrub all that sweat and sand off with Molton Brown's summery, ocean tinted and ocean refreshing Samphire Body Wash.

Instead of reeking summer festivals and concerts, you'll smell like the ocean supposed to be, scented with marine flora and cleansed with sea salt.

What a way to scrub away sweaty Summer.

There isn't a Labor Day party like a sponsored Labor Day at Aviation Nation Dreamland.  The Dreamland half of the Aviation Nation clothing store used to be Neil Young's  “Crazy Horse Saloon”

Thanks to Flying Embers' Labor Day concert party with Brody Jenner, Dreamland is continuing the musical tradition.

Yes, Dreamland has a fully stocked bar and kitchen, sending out endless rounds of tacos and steady supply of Flying Embers canned cocktails and seltzer, from Ojai, Ventura, just up the Pacific Coast Highway.

Don't feel bad if you all miss out, that Labor Day's concert band, was at the Malibu Chili Cook-Off Carnival earlier, where the majority of guests got their invitations.

You'll never what or/and whom you'll pick up at the Boys and Girls Club Malibu Chili Cook-Off Carnival.

Eighties' Baby, Joss Gomez's Spoofing Cop Buddy Comedy Genre in "Team of Two" with Help from Friends, Eric Roberts, Lorenzo Lamas, & "Dr. 90210," Dr. Robert Rey

 By Laura Medina

Asking how Joss Gomez got established actors, Eric Roberts and Lorenzo Lamas and E! "Dr. 90210," Dr. Robert Rey to star in his cop buddy spoof, Joss simply said they're his friends that he built through- out the years, working and co-starring with them.

Joss Gomez

Eric Roberts

Lorenzo Lamas stars as Joss' Mexican-American dad while Eric Roberts' wife, Eliza, stars as Joss' Italian-American mom.

Where every time, Joss' character, Marc Valentine, always have a spaghetti dinner with Mexican-American pop and Italian-American mom.

Despite being a "player cop," his dad still talks and treats Detective Marc Valentine in an infantile way, out of fatherly concern, care, and love.

E! Dr. 90210, Dr. Robert Rey showcases his martial art skills as the baddie,  Professor Malevolent.

Joss Gomez produced, directed, and acted in "Team of Two" out of love for the Eighties (his character is an Eighties Michael Jackson and Miami Vice fan) and the buddy cop movies, that came out from that era.  Don't worry, everybody is in on the joke and having fun.

What's really interesting, is that Joss, naturally, casted and developed today's contemporary mixed ethnicity cast and characters, without giving away the ending, leads to a dad and son mentor-relationship.

"Team of Two" is another leap forward in buddy cop comedy.

Joss Gomez Interview

"Method Costuming" with Arianne Phillips on "Hedwig And The Angry Inch."

 By Laura Medina

What used to be yesterday's gossip is now, today's history.

This is what veteran, highly-esteemed stylist and costume designer, Arianne Phillips did, chatting and discussing her back history on ground-breaking "Hedwig and the Angry Inch."

Sure, it bombed when first released twenty years ago but built a template for today's cross-gender blenders and gender-busters.

Always working and always hustling, Arianne heard about Hedwig while being drawn out by the first "Charlie's Angels."  The constant re-writes of the same ole story and the drama worn her out.  The same one-shoulder top Arianne fitted on Cameron Diaz was the same one she costumed John Cameron Mitchell in "Hedwig."

Knowing it's a low-budget indie, Arianne snuck away her "Charlie's Angels" wardrobe over to Hedwig, where help is needed the most.

Even that wasn't enough to portray Hedwig and her journey.

There was a lot of thrift shopping then chopping.

It helps to be a LA fashionista/hipster insider.  She had Grey Ant to design an haute couture top for the music festival scene.

She worked with Hedwig's hair stylist and makeup artist to design, construct, and maintain the infamous Wig Swing Dress in the trailer park scene.

Arianne sensed Hedwig will be a cultural impact and influence, that it'll be historical.

For the longest time, she shuffled the entire Hedwig wardrobe from house to house.  Until, she discovered a permanent home for it, at the Academy of Motion Pictures Museum.

Just you wait.
