Former Miss Louisiana Teen USA and Playboy Playmate makes Confederate Flags look good

Former Miss Louisiana Teen USA and Playboy Playmate of the Month for October 2009, Lindsey Gayle Evans, gets her Southern trailer park trash on for this spread photographed by Matt Barnes.

A Sundance documentary about the horrific perils of social media

UPDATE: We’re re-posting a slightly re-edited May review of the documentary Catfish as it’s beginning to play in sold out screenings across the country in the upcoming weeks, so it seemed about right.

LA-crafted techno this Saturday night

Today’s stale pseudo-celebutard Hollywood clubs and inpersonal massive corporate candy raves leave the sophisticated Angeleno music lover, like myself, yearning for a simpler time — aka the 90s.  The warehouses were plentiful, the drugs were clean, the soundsystems went 8am strong and the energy was lucid and pure. And what there wasn’t was just as […]


I heard mixed things about Etienne de Crecy‘s set at Coachella this year — some loved it, some said the tunes were boring.
