“Money can’t buy you classsssss…” Some people follow sports. I follow The Real Housewives. And seeing Countess Luann de Lesseps perform live at WeHo Pride yesterday was a nostalgic fever dream. Did she hit all of the notes? No. Do we care? Also no. Elegance is learned, my friends.

Speaking of nostalgic fever dreams…

Some songs never leave the rotation. "Saved by Zero," "Red Skies," "Secret Separation" – The Fixx are bringing four decades of new wave classics to The Belasco on Thursday, 7/30. Enter to win a pair of tickets and get your fixx!*

WHENEVER

YOUR MORNING COFFEE HAS SOME EXPLAINING TO DO

Jitters, dehydration, and a 3PM crash that sends you back for cup number three.

Drink ZYN would like to offer an alternative: one scoop of turmeric electrolyte mix with up to 15 turmeric roots, 100% daily value of Vitamins C, D, and Zinc, and zero energy debt to pay back later. Made by a certified B Corp in fruit flavors that are, objectively, more interesting than black coffee.

Your mug will understand.*
