I’ve been struggling with my holiday spirit this season. Or at least, in keeping a consistent hold on it. And then I saw this blog post about a wonderful young woman who saves lives every single day and asks for nothing in return. And I thought… “I found it.” She makes scenes like these possible: [...]

When your attitude can be best summed up as, “Stay out of my way and you will not get two barrels full of buckshot and rock salt applied at point blank range to your ass.” it is perhaps a sign that you need an attitude adjustment. Or a nap. Or something. I vote “nap”. Because, [...]

Thanks to a heads up from the marvelous Ellen Bloom who seems to find out about so many great LA happenings in advance and who is kind enough to share the love with the rest of us, I found out about the Los Angeles Conservancy’s annual screening of White Christmas at the Los Angeles Theatre, [...]

We here at Casa Fabulous hope that you had a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday. We were, alas, felled by plague, the likes of which I have not experienced in quite a long time. It started on Tuesday, and by Wednesday we had feverishly called off the next morning’s family gathering. We’re now on day #7, and [...]
