Mint juleps, horses and hats.

It's that time of the year again -- time to sip cocktails in the great outdoors while rubbing shoulders with celebrities, international dignitaries and millionaires. It's time for the Virginia Gold Cup!

So, what's a girl (or guy) to wear?

You go to great lengths to look sexy, which is why you (after painting the town red) sometimes fall victim to late-night infomercials. (Hence the Suzanne Somers' ThighMaster tucked far away in your closet).

But, you don't have to hide any longer, Miss Thang. It's time to come out of the fitness closet and master those thighs the Lotus Lounge way. Here's a healthy three-step prescription for late-night wellness that will help keep you fit, while having fun. I like to call it Lotus Fitology.

Tattoo's design is beautiful -- but the real works of art in this swank hipster bar are its patrons. Forget The Young and the Restless. Those who frequent Tattoo are The Young and the A-List -- and here's a look at some of this month's sexiest ...

What do Tommy Lee and Barbie have in common? Tattoos.

This month, when Barbie turned 50, she got some tattoos. And some of them -- stars -- look a lot like the ones on Tommy Lee's hands.

Mid-life crisis? Crush on Tommy Lee? On the rebound? Really wants to get into Tattoo Bar's VIP suite? We're not sure.

But, PETA says Barbie's reason for getting inked is simple: Barbie who, like Tommy Lee, has completely banned fur from her wardrobe  is choosing ink over mink.

Gentlemen (and ladies), welcome to Midtown.

• The first rule of Midtown is: You do not talk about Midtown.
• The second rule of Midtown is: You DO NOT talk about Midtown.
• Third rule of Midtown: Someone yells STOP, goes limp, taps out ... the drink is over.
• Fourth rule: Only two gals to a pole.
• Fifth rule: One girl at a time, fellas.
• Sixth rule: Hot shirts, cool shoes.
• Seventh rule: Nights will go on as long as they have to.
• And the eighth, and final, rule: If this is your first night at Midtown, you have to drink.

Overheard this weekend at the LA Boxing / Midtown Beer Bash: "I look like you want to look. I f&*% like you want to f&*%. I am smart, capable -- and most importantly -- I am free in all the ways that you are not."

Midtown. Now you know the rules: Stop trying to control everything and just let go.

There are bloggers who people hate… it’s easy to hate bloggers. We speak what’s on our mind, we think people care about what we’re saying and we are obnoxious. By “we” I mean me.

Weekends are so five minutes ago.  Every amateur on the block can find a party on Saturday night, but only the cool kids know where to get free champi and dance to 80s on Tuesday nights.

What’s big, cold, wet and gives you a tingly warm feeling in your belly?

anyone else obsessed with this song?  or is it already so 5 minutes ago?

this will be the greatest and worst weekend of our lives. it’s going to be an absolute shit show around here. I kept hearing warnings all day about avoiding metro and the beltway and the bridges and the mall… basically you’re only option is to walk or segway around town and I wouldn’t be caught dead on a segway unless I was wasted and stole it from a cop. which I’ve done. twice.
