The weekend is an overnight Rams fan.

If These Cufflinks Could Talk

FROM PERKS

If These Cufflinks Could Talk

A list of major events for which these vintage cufflinks have been around:

—The invention of antibiotics.

—WWII.

—Lunar landing.

—Fall of the Berlin Wall.

—Being fortunate enough to keep your dress shirt cuffs together.

Yeah, they’ve seen it all.

Thursday
Yes, That’s Kobe in Your Bento Box

FOR THOSE ABOUT TO RAKU

Yes, That’s Kobe in Your Bento Box

Tomorrow, La Cienega’s eminent Raku won’t be like it was today. Because it will suddenly start serving you lunch. And there will be charcoal-grilled pork cutlets, Kobe-graced bento boxes and soba noodles. That was not a haiku.

A Leather Sneaker. From a Hollywood Hotel.

Shoemaker Clae and Parisian/Hollywood hotel Mama Shelter are coming out with a sneaker on Thursday. They’re white, waxed, full-grain leather, and the tongue depicts a fist that says “Mama ‘Hearts’ You.” So, serious bonus points with the person who gave you life.

Friday
When Playboy Gets Artsy...

PLAYBOY MEETS WORLD

When Playboy Gets Artsy…

Playboy is collaborating with Chinatown’s Slow Culture gallery on a big group art show in September. They’ll start with a party on Friday, previewing the work of featured illustrators, photographers and tattoo artists. Expect big things out of these publishing upstarts in the future.

Saturday
Oaxacamole. Oaxacamole. That’s Just Fun to Say.

WHAT’S AT STEAK

Oaxacamole. Oaxacamole. That’s Just Fun to Say.

Marcel Vigneron’s new Melrose restaurant, Beefsteak, is 100% vegetarian. Except when it’s not. Like when you choose to add Korean short ribs to your Oaxacamole bowl or get Scottish salmon slipped into your Catalan brussels sprouts. Then it’s not.

Sunday
Wine, David Bowie, You and Others

SCREEN PLAY

Wine, David Bowie, You and Others

Frank Lloyd Wright was a genius. Take his Hollyhock House in Barnsdall Park. Had he not made room for a lawn, you wouldn’t be sitting on it, drinking wine, hearing classically arranged Bowie tunes from a string band and watching Ziggy Stardust on an outdoor screen on Sunday. The horror.

Hadley Tomicki lives in Los Angeles. He is probably going nowhere on the 10 Freeway this very second.
