That's So Hollywood

2008-03-07T23:36:00.000-08:00

Erin Fetherston supposedly had a fashion week party at Villa Friday night. We got there just before it was ending at 10 PM (I was coming from the Gen Art party with a well known actress), and approached the door. The door guy pawned me off on some guy coming out who pawned me off on another guy who let two people in, and then tried to say the party was over. I introduced myself as press and then a small girl spoke up asking which publication I was with. My answer must not have impressed her cause she scoffed at me and turned away – obliviously doing her best to ignore me. She didn’t introduce herself but if she was in change of getting bad press for Erin’s new collection then she was successful. Erin, I recommend that you hire new people… maybe someone not so Hollywood.

Just for kicks you can go to the site listed for Erin on FashionWeekLA.com (http://www.erinfeatherston.com). It’s not her official site but maybe it should be. Do her people not know how to spell her name?

Santa Monica Shows Some Class

2008-03-04T17:38:00.001-08:00

Reggie Bee shows off Doctrine Apparel and also wears the collection. Actress, Cupid Hayes shows off the perfect Doctrine Apparel tee.

Smooch Inc offers A New Angle On Jeans.

The San Damian line of jewelry is handcrafted and offers amazing stones with sterling silver settings and etched Tibetan element glyphs.

Five Four clothing offers men a place to be casual and cool with a bit of sophistication. It’s clothing for men who want to be in fashion and still be comfortable. The details are in the pockets.
