PR girl and I caught Lucha VaVOOM‘s 2012 Valentine’s Day Special Show, Lucha is for Lovers, at the Mayan Theatre in Downtown LA. For 3 hours or so, we were entertained with Lucha Libre wrestling, some talented burlesque dancers, comedic hosts, and even a wedding ceremony. Over the top at times, it was still some pretty good, clean fun!
That’s one of the crowd favorite Luchadores, Dirty Sanchez, above, walking around during intermission. Very cool.
JL and I captured in a slideshow at WWD (Women’s Wear Daily). This was sometime in November of last year. We went to this art auction slash benefit party.

At least someone deemed us worthy of being part of their slideshow, right?
Copy + Paste of the article that went with the slideshow:
In a season full of black-tie benefits, it was at the more dressed-down art events where Los Angeles’ most interesting fall fashion could be found.

Shopping event at David Yurman to benefit Lollipop Theater Network. There were apparently some “famous” people in attendance (Anna Farris, Lance Bass etc..). I didn’t know anyone (everyone looked ordinary), and actually, we weren’t even invited. Sooj was inside and the madame and I wanted to see her.
We were coming from another event down the street, and I suppose since we looked the part, we were able to walk right in, past the person manning the door with no problems. hahahahaha.
Inside the VIP lounge.
Looked like any lounge/club, just with less people.

Yesterday, Kickboxer participated in the IFS Cup: Muay Thai 8-man Elimination Tournament in Pico Rivera.
Twelve seconds into the first round (picture above), Kickboxer landed a clean high left kick to his opponent’s head, sending him down to the canvas for the count. After almost 10 seconds, the bearded guy foolishly got up to continue the match. … Continue Reading
