You’re wrapped in a plush terry robe, reposing on thousand-thread-count sheets, listening to a custom-programmed iPod on the dock next to your bed, and feeling as though this is nothing more than the lifestyle you deserve. So who could blame you for wanting to take some of the accoutrements of your newfound bliss home from your luxury hotel? These are top three souvenirs we recommend you swipe.

Last night at Hollywood's Chateau Marmont, Alexa Chung fans turned up in droves to toast the launch of her latest Madewell Collection. Top style starlets like Kate Bosworth and Elle Fanning joined the model / perpetual television host as she crossed her fingers that her second collaboration with J.Crew's kid sister label would please the masses. Not only are the masses pleased, but traffic was so heavy when the collection hit the retailer's website that it crashed.

"I was even gayer than all of my gay friends"

"It was just, like, the biggest thing ever."

With the Winter Music Conference blasting Miami, a great many of the DJ staples are not at their usual haunts. Sure, they often enlighten us, educate us, and take us to a different place, but all too often they play the same tracks in the same order as their brethren. With Vinyl and CD’s heading in the same direction as the Eastern Ghost Cat and the Dodo -- extinction, if you didn’t catch my drift -- the loss of ingenuity looms dangerously, as redundancy threatens.

"It’s nice to play a good guy again"

I'm packing to come home, and for the first time ever, I will be sad to leave LA. I either just got "it," or "it" changed enough in my direction to have meaning. I had a great time, and I swear I will never use this old joke again: "If its 10pm in New York, it must be 1998 in LA." It just doesn't ring true, as NY has become less and LA more. Back in the big wormy apple I hear that Santos' Party House is reopened, and Gina Sachi Cody is still dearly departed. Gina will be put to rest following wakes and funeral services 2pm to 4pm and 6pm to 7pm tomorrow at the Barret Funeral Home in Tenafly, New Jersey. I'm going, so if you expected to see me, fogetaboutit. I'm sending my sweetness off, even if I must go to Tenafly—wherever that is. I would walk a million miles for one of Gina's smiles, but will have to settle for a photo on an easel.

If you see me today please talk softly and slowly. Please, no sudden movements or complicated questions. Just like oil and water, Israelis and Palestinians, Bill and Hillary, some things should never be put together. That's me and Las Vegas. I went for business. My partner and I are designing a big time nightclub in a big time hotel. I swear. The porn star convention just happened to coincide with our stay. The closest I got to a porn star was the limo driver at the airport holding up a Terra Patrick placard. Ok, ok there were a few around, at night, at our tables, but, again, a mere coincidence and completely unsolicited. I have no interest in such matters.
