Setting aside the Charlie updates, the bag and accessory of the week and the top restaurants in Los Angeles, there is another area where talent is celebrated in this wonderful city. The talent of producing innovative and thought-provoking movies or shows, yes, it all begins in the land of movies - Hollywood.
This last weekend, the screening of 'The New Ugly - Sketch Comedy for the Emotionally Stunted' was held at the Upright Citizens Brigade Theater in Hollywood, California. Before we get into the synopsis of the play, let us examine a little background to the theater itself and what it's main focus is. Located in Hollywood, the Upright Citizens Brigade is dedicated to fostering both an appreciation and an education of the arts through affordable and high-quality comedic performances and classes. It is the perfect place that gives birth to original talent with cutting-edge humor that is widely watched and talked-about through-out Los Angeles.
Jacki Clarke brings us her latest comedy adventure, 'Some people shouldn't be allowed to leave the house. This show is about those horrible horrible people.' Jackie's latest production, 'The New Ugly' has en-flamed theater-goers with a passion rarely seen off-Broadway. A four-part meditation on the absurdity of contemporary relationships, critics have called The New Ugly "insightful", "provocative", "bawdy", and "just plain fucking nuts". A show where one can laugh about incest, Stephen Hawking and child molestation. If you are open to wild and crazy humor, then this show should definitely be on your list of things to watch! Jackie has created a show about the current happenings with a dark twisted humorous touch urging people to appreciate all that they have rather than spending their lives wanting what they cannot have!
Speaking of something bold and moving toward the fashion highlight of the day - is it just me or has the color 'red' become more popular than ever? Maybe the trendsetter Joan Holloway, the vixen-like character of MadMen, who became famous for her killer red look, influenced the color for every woman in town. We've seen it on Glee, Desperate Housewives and even on the streets of Los Angeles.
Are you getting ready to go out on the town tonight? Perhaps off to a cool sushi spot? You might want to try matching your red look with dark denim and rubies. Or maybe you're going on a hot date with your significant other so perhaps a classy-sassy red dress with some sparkling diamonds would do the trick. Last but not least, lock this style with a sexy hair, red lipstick, or even jungle red nail polish to feel fabulous with every step you take!
Well, that was an insight into one of the great talents Los Angeles is blessed with and the fashion highlight of the day! Hope you share our interest in this distinct class of humor and that you liked our style pick. As always, don't forget to check back for more updates on our twitter and our facebook pages.
Hope you're all having a fabulous week!
