So i found out today that the American remake of My Sassy Girl is going STRAIGHT TO DVD.  Sad…just sad.  They shoudn’t of remade the thing in the first place. 

Looks like the only good thing about this movie is Elisha Cuthbert.  What a fox.  Schwing!  She is hot hot hot!  Too bad she’s dating that hockey star….too bad cuz she coulda got some hot Asian lovin.  Ya know?  Ya know?  hahaha. 

Which takes me to the original.  This was THE FIRST Korean movie that I ever watched.  My homie Whanger went on and on and on about how great a film it was.  My response?  “It’s Korean….Koreans can’t make good movies”.  hahaha.  In my mind the only thing Koreans could do good was make poppy happy music, smoke heavily, and smell like garlic.  tee hee.  So anyway, i finally caved and watched it one night while my roomie Ray and Whanger were playing video games in the next room.  Good thing i watched it alone cuz damn….when she was yelling at him from the cliff about how sorry she was, i just about broke down and cried.  hahahaha.  That shiet was so sad!  After i watched it that first time i wanted to stand up and clap.  Damn what a GOOD movie!  I showed it right away to Smitty and i think we watched it together like 3 or 4 times.  Gay i know but geez….what a great movie!  If you haven’t seen it yet, then call RIGHT NOW your closest Korean friend and borrow it!  Either that or I’ll watch it with you.  We can have a My Sassy Girl viewing party.  Yay!  Not.  And Jeon Ji Hyun.  Wowsers.  Hottie!   

All i gotta say is:  G O O D   L A W D.  See you at Cabana!   

This clip is so funny!  I bet like 90% of you will relate cuz i sure do.  Only thing is i dont’ text much cuz stupid AT&T charges me like 10cents a text.  I actually CALL.  So it’s like 2 am and i call and say “uhh…so…what are you doing?”.  hahahaha.  Anyway enjoy!

At any given club, you’ll see the same thing: gorgeous, dolled up women and the men who attempt to court them. As a twenty-something living in West Los Angeles, I’m all too familiar with the pick-up lines, hollerin’ and Hollywood party scene in general. I see women being courted by all types of men: from the sleazy to the suave. Similarly, I’ve witnessed all the mistakes that men make because they just don’t understand women and how to properly approach us.

The fact of the matter is, women already enter the club scene with the “I-can’t-meet-quality-guys-at-a-bar-or-club” notion. This isn’t always true, but we tend think it is because the sleazy, creepy, awkward, weird, douchebag guys keep approaching us. We always hope some handsome, confident, debonair of a man will sweep us off our feet, but this has yet to happen. So, whether you are shy and awkward guy or a douchebag who realizes you aren’t meeting the right girls, this post is for you.

In general, men and women are at a club for two very different reasons.
Men: to pick up chicks. Period.
Women: to hang out with the girls, drink, dance and maybe meet a decent guy.
Keeping these differences in mind, the following is a short list of common mistakes that men often make which immediately turn women off.

1. Being overly- aggressive.
Men are generally aggressors (”liquid courage” helps too) and that’s a good thing. However, in general, we chicks don’t like the macho-aggressive-guy-facade you put on. Instead, confidence goes a long way. Stand up straight, look us in the eyes (hello, our eyes aren’t down there, they’re up here), speak confidently, don’t mumble and most importantly smile. Remember: There is a fine line between confidence and cockiness. Learn to walk that line.

2. Spitting out those cheesy pick up lines (”How you doin’” a la Joey Tribiani or “Are you from Tennessee, because you’re the only ten I see” etc).
Contrary to popular belief, girls don’t like these awful lines. Just talk to us! We may be all dolled up but we’re still girls. If she sees that you are genuinely interested, you’ve got a better chance of her continuing the conversation. Ask her questions and get to know her. She’ll think YOU are interesting if you act interested in HER.

3. Grabbing us.
Similar to number two, don’t grab us as we’re headed to the ladies’ room thinking you’ve got our attention. That’s not cool; we aren’t pieces of meat. Strike up a conversation, that’s the only way to do it. Plus, you never know if we’ve got an angry-over-6-foot-muscle-building-boyfriend (ouch). Don’t yell things at us as we walk by either. That’s lame.

4. Monopolizing our time.
We came with our girls and in general, want to stay with them. So, let’s chat for a bit and part ways. The little time apart also makes you appear more “mysterious” and
keeps us wondering about you (assuming we’ve had a meaningful connection). Additionally, it makes the conversation seem less coerced and more casual. The club isn’t all that big, we’ll bump into each other again. But please, don’t follow us around because that’s just creepy.

5. Being a wall flower and looking lame.
We aren’t at a junior high dance. We’re at a 21+ club. Act like it. If you’re having a good time (or at least pretending like you are), you put out good vibes. Chicks dig those vibes. If you look lame, chances are you probably are lame. Take a look at the dudes in the GoPro picture slideshow. Those guys are having fun; those guys get the chicks.

6. Absence of breath mints. Self-explanatory.

There you have it fellas. Straight-forward and easy. We aren’t pieces of meat, so don’t treat us like we are. Be genuine, be interesting and have some fun while you’re at it. Who knows where a little conversation and a whole lot of alcohol can lead to. Oh, and buying us a drink or two can’t hurt either.

Ladies, I’m sure you have something to add. What are your biggest turn-offs/turn-ons when it comes to men hollerin’ atcha? Leave a comment and help the boys gain some insight!

Violet-Mae is guest blogger for GOProductionsLA. She blogs about her female perspective on men, women, dating and relationships. She’s a twenty something livin’ up the party life in Los Angeles. Find her at Cabana clubs on Fridays, Social on Thursdays and the newest restaurants and bars every other day of the week.

Friday – What up y’all, another hectic weekend to say the least. First of all, MUCH LOVE and APPRECIATION to all the crazy party peeps that still came out on Friday to Cabana Club despite the wet weather. All the promoters and club owner were VERY IMPRESSED! I guess if you’re down to party…you’re down to party! Happy Birthday shout-out to my homegirl LIN who celebrated her sweet sixteen at CABANA! I love the look! My boy VINSON LEE came down to visit as well. If you don’t know this cat…he’s part of the original crew that started this whole maddness with us! Needless to say, NORCAL parties don’t compare to SOCAL. I have to agree on that as well. It just seems like talent is much better down here. Yeah, it was good seeing him again miss the mofo!

Sunday – Capacity @ CRIMSON! First of all, I apologize for everyone that couldn’t get in! The line was pretty ridiculous…and you know it’s bad when I had to ask my all girls trying to get in to pop bottles…but yeah, it was that insane! Basically, that night was pretty much strictly bottle service from the start. Funny thing, every person I spoke to that popped bottles that night told me afterwards it was definitely worth it especially if you popped it by the dancefloor! I had to even turn away my friends or tell them to go to another party and come back due to capacity. I honestly felt bad…especially to all the loyal supporters. Again, sorry to all my friends for not being able to get you all in or you had to wait a long ass time. One thing is for sure, my boy VINSON had an awesome welcome back party! Popping Bottles BiTchEs! One thing is for sure the ratio was nice and people were just simply RoCkInG IT OuT! Yezzir!!!!!

Sunday night me, Scottie, Wej Scott, DB Allen, Steve O, da Boob, and Cyn went to go see the latest installment of Indiana Jones at AMC Century City.  I had high hopes for this movie and had been eagerly anticipating it for the past couple of months.  I’m sad to say that i was greatly disappointed.  SPOILER ALERT*******Don’t ready further if you dont’ want the plot revealed. 

So yah anyway, the movie sucked.  What can i say?  Harrison Ford is way too old to play Indiana.  The whole movie just seemed hokie and campy to me.  Kind of like a reunion show of an old sitcom when all the old characters come back.  The acting seemed way forced and the plot?  Don’t get me started on the plot.  Aliens?  Puhleasse.  I don’t mean to be a hater but dude…DUMB!  Needless to say that I hope that this is the last installment in the Indiana Jones saga.  Wait for the DVD folks.  Don’t waste yo time with this one.  

Pretty tame weekend for me.  I didnt’ do the usual quadfecta (party thursday-sunday).  Two parties in a weekend was good enough for me. 

FRIDAY – It rained.  Friggin rain.  This is probably like the 5th time it’s rained at Cabana Club since we started doing it a year ago.  Needless to say i was pretty pissed.  Somebody been doing some voodoo magic on us or something.  hahaha.  We still drew 600+ that night so I guess it didn’t turn out as bad as i thought it would.  Highlight story of the night was finding out from his ex gf that my homie has a huge PEN 15.  If you don’t know what a PEN 15 is then you betta ask somebody if you can join the PEN 15 club.  hahaha.  Anyway, i woulda never guessed it cuz this guy is like 5′7″ and kinda skinny.  Who woulda thought he’d be packin?  Like seriously.  Her exact words were “dood it was HUUUUGE”.  Next time i see that dude i’m gonna shake his hand.

SATURDAY - Drove out to Pasadena to visit my friend Lauren in the hospital.  She’s been having complications with her second pregnancy and is on bed rest for a month.  Imagine being stuck in bed for a month.  Sucks huh?  No candy striper girls there this time to look at though.  Boo.  hahaha.  I was looking for somebody like this:

Oh well.  Next time i suppose.  hahaha.  Was supposed to go to AREA that night to party but fell asleep and didn’t wake up till 11pm.  Oops. 

SUNDAY – Chilled out most of the day then worked on the Crimson guestlist.  I had a bad feeling we were gonna reach capacity EARLY that night and I was right.  I think we were maxed out by 10:30.  Had to turn away about 300 people (sorry).  Didn’t get to go in and party till around midnight and by that time everybody was DRUNK.  Fun times fun times.  After we hit up BCD in Ktown for some grubbin.  So i’m looking at the pics from that night and let me tell you…..COMEDY.  Pure comedy!  Here’s the best ones:

This picture of Kimsada (John Kim and Randy Masada) has been making the rounds all day on Facebook.  hahaha.  This is CLASSIC!  This is what happens when two people get a little too tipsy and forget that there are people watching their affectionate behavior. 

Oh look.  It’s John at it AGAIN!  Man this guy really gets around.  hahaha. 

Ok this one is my FAV.  So i introduce my homie to this chick and he immediately pounces on her and starts gaming her.  But the best part of this picture is me in the background looking like Mr. Burns from the Simpsons and admiring my handiwork.  hahaha.  Yes smithers…yessssssss.

I have no idea why but Scottie is holding Hotlanta like we’re taking a prom picture.  Hmmmmmm.

Ok this one wasn’t funny.  I just liked it.  I must say Jina and Angela look like sisters fo sho. 

Anddddddddd the cycle starts again tomorrow with Social Hollywood and Friday with Cabana.  Oh the LA life!

Here are the KOBE commercials everyone is talking about! GO Lakers! This is some great guerrilla marketing!

I’ve been seeing a lot of that ZUNE ARTS commercial so I decided to check out the site. You know what…it’s an awesome sight! It’s a great platform for artists and musicians to get out their dreams and works. I wanted to share a couple of you that I thought was really entertaining. Enjoy! BTW, notice the music its by “Black Angels – young men dead”…great track! I imagine this song is what you roll out to before the BIG RUMBLE at the local park…

Another interesting short film…music by “what made milwaukee famous – hopelist” – very emo-ish

Lately, I’ve been really getting into electro house mashed up with hip hop and r&b. If done right, the sound is incredible. I really encourage everyone to check out different types of genres as oppose to the crap that radio stations jams down our throat. Thank you evil corporate conglomerate clear channel! Anyway, groups such as Justice and Daft Punk have done numerous remixes of mainstream songs. Below, rapper Whale from Washington DC did his own interpretation of D.A.N.C.E by Justice. Let me know if you party goers like this kind of music if so I’ll request the DJ’s at Cabana to play more of this kind of stuff.

I also attached the original D.A.N.C.E. video…it’s pretty cool! Some of you might notice the fashion influence I get from these guys!

Also, just to share…the video below is a live performance by Daft Punk. These guys are awesome LIVE! If you know your music…you will recognize the Kanye West collaboration.

While on the topic of music, I just came across this Kanye West video of Flashinglights. I am still uncertain about the actual topic of this song. I think I have a general concept but if you guys know what the song is really about please do share with the rest of us. The concept of the video is interesting….the girl in the video is H.O.T!

Speaking of HOT girls…Usher is always featuring some pretty nice looking ladies in his video. I just saw his newest one Moving Mountains. Is it just me or is this getting a little too melodramatic…its one thing to coroon in the rain but scaling a mountain and crying?! Don’t get me wrong…Usher is a PIMP and great innovater in branding himself but it just seems a little overboard. Anyhow, ENJOY!

It’s one thing to see fights in Hollywood and witnessing someone getting knocked out. However, seeing a star get into a fight and getting his ass knocked out PRICELESS. Enjoy Jesse Metcalfe…JOHN TUCKER just got KNOCKED THE F OUT!

Enjoy!
Scottie
