Mystic Posse Live At Toi

Toi on Sunset, a legendary restaurant in Los Angeles, is known for its superb Thai cuisine set in a rock and roll atmosphere. Famous celebrities in the film and music industries frequent there—such as Quentin Tarrantino and Lady Gaga among many others—and often you will see Steven Tyler from Aerosmith. However, this particular evening we had a chance to watch the owners, Jackie and Michael O’Brien, perform at their CD release party, for their new album titled Where or When, to a packed house.

A Peek Inside The ICJUK Showroom

I’ve been a longtime fan/supporter of Claire Jane’s creations. She is an incredibly talented individual and is constantly adding new designs and products to her inventory, so I was very excited to finally visit her showroom.

Having grown up in Highland Park it’s nice to finally see the resurgence of the neighborhood. The once run down area is going through a restorative transformation that has helped to eradicate crime and strengthen the local economy. There are so many new great establishments that even Vogue did a feature.

Annie Wood – Making And Creating Good Vibes

Annie Wood is a woman of many talents. She’s an actress (film, television, theatre, and voice-over), writer, artist, and an award winning playwright. She’s also the founder of a volunteer website www.dogoodstuff.org, and she frequently contributes articles to the Huffington Post.

She’s charming, witty, and downright delightful and I’m fortunate enough to have her as a friend. Hopefully, after this interview you’ll adore her as much as I do.

Annie, you are a very talented lady – actress, writer, artist, and photographer—are you more passionate about one over the other?

Ever since I can remember I’ve been drawn to creating. When I was a little kid my obsession was about being an actress. I took my first class when I was ten and got my first agent when I was 12. I dreamed of going to Broadway. I was in-love with musicals. Although, I wrote my first story when I was eight and the joy of photography found me early on too. I often feel like I’m a writer who acts and creates visual art as well. Basically, I just feel passionate about living a creative life each and every day.
