Cool evening at Petrossian Paris Boutique & Cafe in West Hollywood. Guest of Executive Chef, Ben Bailly (formally of L'Atelier de Joel Robuchon-Las Vegas). Handful of "think they know-it-all" food bloggers (snipie-chickie blew me off-no excuse for bad manners, honey!), West Hollywood sous chefs and waiter friends of Ben. Stylishly tasty bites, drinks & gracious staff. Look forward to experiencing new seasonal menu. Thanks Ben, for your hospitality. Great location and vibe for lunch, dinner. A definite go-go!

09.09.09 My Birthday!! Am I feeling Lucky?

09.09.09 Today is my birthday along with a zillion kids who's parents had MORE that a Happy New Year's Eve or Day celebration!!! In California, early 1970's when personalized auto license plates were up for purchase, I thought it would be fun to "apply for" VIRGO 9 for my first car (used Red 1969 2002 BMW). Check out the original blue plate and newer white style. And, yes I have to pay more in fees to have a personalized plate. Happy Birthday to all my Virgo friends.
