Bravo choose 6 of those 10: Adrienne Maloof (who we know as the Maloof's sister who throws the best Christmas party in town) Kyle & Kim Richards (who we know as Nicky & Paris [...]

Somper Furs of Beverly Hills Champagne Tea
I have been a fur devotee since birth. No child should go without mink baby booties. I will never forget my first fur jacket at the age of three, the obligatory pink rabbit that my mother and I picked out at Pixie Town in Beverly Hills. Softer than silk, warmer than down, cozier than my childhood miniature poodle snuggling up against me, I wore this jacket until the sleeves were above my wrists and could wear it no more. Those of course were the sad days of being so in love with a fabulous fur [...]

Dalai Lama in Beverly Hills
I spy with my little eye an armored brigade of limos fit for a Governor, or maybe President. Not how you'd imagine his Holiness to travel but perhaps the magic carpet's in the shop! Clogging up East alley of Canon Drive from 2:30pm to 4pm, were at least 5 giant black SUVs and stretched black. The entourage sat parked, driver in each car, waiting for their captain to move on. I think Mr. Lama could have been in Xian, or maybe Cafe Roma. When they finally left at least 15 BHPD cops came riding [...]
