by Alyssa Ramos As I was routinely scrolling through Facebook the other night like an Internet addicted drone, I came across a post that shockingly captured my attention for more than five seconds — a paused video of a friend, Stephen Limbaugh (yes, he’s related to Rush Limbaugh) playing the piano in what appeared to be neon colored board shorts and a...
by Alyssa Ramos The way that I was eagerly scanning the upstairs deck for the waitress was comparable to the anxious urgency of finding a misplaced iPhone, but it was an urgent matter, there was only ten minutes left in Happy Hour, and with the way we drink white wine, those ten minutes were vital. Finally one of the scantily dressed model-waitresses came bounding up...
by Alyssa Ramos As we sped down Fountain Avenue in my friend’s new BMW M6 with unnecessary bursts of speed and jolts of braking and swerving around cars, EDM music blaring, and the enviable jingling of the seven Cartier Love Lock bracelets on his wrist, I started to wonder if I made the right last minute decision to go to this supposedly secret comedy show...

I’m sure that every city has their local gym hot spots that get super busy, are popular to go to, and can be guaranteed to see someone you know at…in LA it’s like that too, except on crack and with cameras.

by Alyssa Ramos Three years ago, I was watching the Oscars on TV, reveling in all of the glitz and glamour and dreaming about what it must be like to see the Red Carpet…now the Red Carpet along with every major celebrity are literally 2 minutes away from my apartment in Hollywood. It’s kind of awesome. Of course with the Academy Awards shutting down...
Live from the Red Carpet!…me having an anxiety attack.Tonight as I waited patiently in the Media & Talent area for my client, trying and succeeding at entertaining myself with every social media app, text convo, and Buzzfeed article I could find on my phone to make myself seem preoccupied, I noticed the few celebs that I could actually recognize, some...
