HOTEL FEAR @ SOHO HOUSE WEST HOLLYWOOD

Due to overwhelming celebrity politics the greatest Halloween blog post was removed. Fear not, I have been invited to a party every night and if there is anything you can say about me, it’s that I don’t recognize professional sports after 1994, and I always wear an original costume. This year contact lenses are heavy in the popular category.

Our silhouettes if you can guess what we are.

UMA!

The Soho House party was the 2nd most exclusive event this year. The elevator ride up with filled with Amish, Christian Bale, and the polka dot Louie Vuitton lady.

No photos inside Soho House. Welp… there goes my membership.

Osama Bin Ladin was surprisingly very popular.

Great costumes…. Italians… I get it.


Renee Bargh spent exactly 4 milliliters of paint and 2 chiclets on her costume.

If you drop your phone, make sure it’s in the phone drop hole SOHO house provides. Pics and it did happen.

I love this Mitt Romney costume.

Bodie from Point Break demonstrating his stretchy wetsuit pants. I went full Tonto. Missoni head wrap, warpaint. There is a fucking bird on my head. Warpaint would be a good name for a brand.

Sick Crooks and Castles costume. Is that Skye?


On to the next one. I heard Just Jared wasn’t letting anyone in… Rob Heppler +11

Don’t leave your Phantom unattended. Matt George will profile on it. You remember Matt George… he owned that store Goodfoot in Canada… remember? He also owns RANSOM and a few Stussy stores. He recently moved to L.A. to raise his family and launch his latest endeavor, Waiola coconut water. Right now you can only find it in the highest end spots… like Collette!

Just Jared had a real good party at Siren Studios on Orange.

Ryan Jefferson went as a Jerry Sandusky victim.

White Swan and a nightmare machine.

Ever wonder what the celebrity thinks of the costume you wore to impersonate them thinks? Darren doesn’t have to.

It’s a dude.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

Samsung Galaxy Note II Event

Have I mentioned how much I love my Samsung phone? I hate to leave Apple, but this phone never stops giving. Last night was the launch event for the Samsung Galaxy Note II, which is a little bigger than the S3 and has a stylus. Ink. Sack sandwiches provided by Michael Voltaggio, music by people in the photos you’re about to see.

The event was held at the former 1994 playmate of the month Kelly Wearstler estate. Kelly is famous for inventing “retro-theatrical” style of interior decorating. Basically every awesome hotel you have ever been in, it’s cuz of her.

Jaleel White and one of Jon Buscemi’s friends.

Former Celtic Rick Fox

My ex girlfriend. Don’t ask…. ok go ahead and ask.

I really want to wait until a concert is over, and scream “COOL STORY BRO!”

Mostly people just wanted my autograph.

This is actually amazing. This is a Samsung Galaxy camera. You can instagram straight from the camera. It has a smile recognition, like… doesn’t take the picture till everyone is smiling. You can get yours in December, I’ll use mine now.

Bobby, your friend was there.

This Hundreds thing is really catching on.

Toro Y Moi

Then Kendrick Lamar said some poems.

The second coolest guy at the party. Glee star Kevin Mchale. You know what the hardest part about eating a vegetable is? … the wheelchair.


I embarrassed myself in front of the first coolest guy. Hey Jav.

Meko wore red and didn’t think twice about it.

I’d rather be at a David Guetta concert… said no one ever.

Sad end of party solo step and repeat. I wonder what Samsung is gonna do next….

All I want for Kev’s Birthday

Last night celebrated amoung many other things, Kevin Delaney’s birthday. It seems like we celebrate this a few times a week but this one was memorable. It started at Pink Taco and moved to Hyde. Scroll along with the most profilingest activator on the planet.

That’s a new character Drama is working on called “paralyzed face guy that loves straws”.

Like most evenings, this one is brought to you by Bee Nguyen.

Luke Trembath and man not wearing a costume.

Hyde plays all your favorite songs. Kevin loves those songs. You hate them compared to how much he loves them.

Kevin had something really important to say… but no one could hear him.

Kevin doesn’t give a fuck about sparkles… but he does enjoy their aroma.

One Chill Black Guy

Camsterdam

File under “dude you definitely shouldn’t make jokes about”- who knew his hairline would be paying more than his tattoos in face rent!

This guy was there.

Jack lives in the projects.

Surrounded by dozens of friends, Kev D only had eyes for one person.

I havn’t made this face in a long time.

Darren brought us to Vingette, the extra exclusive newness that you don’t even now about yet.

Then Turtle threw like nine bucks in the air.

These guys are trying to start a DJ Ruckus

RETNA LOUIS VUITTON

The keeping his mouth shut the longest award goes to me! I wish I could have been the first to report on this monumental occasion but my sources swore me to ultra secrecy. However if you are semi literate in Instagram you can pretty much figure out Retna may or may not be the next official artist for Louis Vuitton. Louis makes stuff out of leather you put other stuff inside of. Marquis Makes stuff out of paint and ink, which will be emblazoned on Vuitton’s leather products which it will be hard to find something worthy of putting something inside. This post is made possibly by @ironeyes, @booksiii, and @Typoe instagram accounts, so it’s not really snitching since it’s publicly available.

Here you can see RETNA’s trademark language with a special LV surprise. The Louis star inside the circles.

RETNA himself posted this especially LV aggressive suitecase with a never before seen scarf…

There is the Miami mural that was recently finished…. with the spread out scarf. Ima need two. Thanks to RENTA and the Primary Projects artists for the sneak peeks! See you at Art Basel!

UPDATE:

I especially like these photo’s from @hoxxoh. I always wondered how he got such standard results from a brush and here is the secret. Now all you need is 20 years in the game and you can be the same!


Special thanks to Doug “HOX” for the best pics from the cherry picker.

Free Gifts

Remember back when websites had free stuff. Like a free background image, an avatar, or even a radio widget? The Hundreds used to even have a street team page with crazy downloadable graphics. Well I thought about what I could do to give back to my loyal readers and devout haters. I wished I could mail you each an autographed headshot… but I can’t. Well I could but I’m far to lazy. So for now, I spent $1,500 on a spray tan and a photographer and made these incredible images for me you.

You can print them out so when you see me you can chase me down, reach over the velvet rope and I’ll write something like: “Bad breath is the kiss of death.” I left a stack of those at the dentist.

“You look like a knock out!” then I sign my name legible, but stylish.

“Have a kick ass day!”

 

These are all free downloads. I did it for you. Selfless, Humble and the most un-conceited thing I could think of.

Florence and the Machine

Of all the nights to forget my camera I pick the night Florence and the Machine play the Hollywood bowl. It’s not surprising, I’ll admit I’m not the worlds biggest music fan. I think music should be an accessory to your life, not your entire life. Like, who goes home and listened to entire albums staring at the CD book. Not me.

Pandora has taught me at least two of Florence’s songs. I had to wait patiently till the second encore to hear them.

I don’t know why Florence gets all the credit, the machine is doing all the work.

Thank you to the people that brought me. I went and saw Looper after… holy shit that was awesome.

Moby Dicks Montauk

What is the biggest thing to surface on edge of the atlantic ocean? Moby Dick’s pop up restaurant of course! Located at the end of a hidden path behind Rick’s Crabby Cowboy Marina you will find this summers hottest Hampton’s hangout.

Unless you are searching for Monsters, or living at Grey Gardens there isn’t much to do in Montauk besides drink. If you decide to do it at Moby Dick’s you may get to drink with the best part of the 1% and eat a delicious wood fired pizza.

Brilliant owners Hatsa and Lincoln have dialed in the formula of making a cool restaurant. They are involved in Ruby’s Cafe and Kingswood in NY. And Eveliegh in L.A. to name a few. They also received the James Beard trophy for figuring out how to live in the Hamptons all summer.

Now let’s party.

Lauren Kozica is a sales agent for high end international brands. She is also single.

Sometimes it’s ok if I don’t have the best tan in the room.

Moby’s is filled with Australians and plenty of chicks that love Dick’s.

Maclean Jackson photo’s courtesy of Me.

Even the guy with the Harrods crewneck was there.

Nick Potts rages there.

The only other American to date their way into the Australian inner circle is Momo. Who is also my new most famous friend with her role on Revolution.

Fuck your photo booth.

I just dropped that. Now make sure you name drop me at Moby Dick’s next summer.
