A growing clientele has caused me to relinquish my duties as a blogger for all things Los Angeles. I hope you have enjoyed my contribution to 451 Press; my sister blogger Paris will keep you abreadst of the kinetic energy of L.A.!
My last post will be this Friday, so stay tuned…
If you think Destiny’s Child was the ultimate diva group, then you don’t know jack. And obviously have never heard En Vogue a cappella. And if you have to ask what OPP means, you can’t afford to miss Nike’s 5-mile race called, Nike Run Hit Remix: The PowerSong Edition, Saturday, September 15, 2007 at 9AM at the LA Memorial Coliseum. The registration fee is $31 through August 28th, and rises to $39 thereafter.
Dawn Robinson (former lead singer of En Vogue), Naughty by Nature, Sir Mix A Lot, and The SugarHill Gang will serve as musical cheerleaders along the course. But hang onto your Nike headband; MC Hammer will be at the finish line to celebrate with a concert, showcasing his authentic dance moves.
In the meantime, Niketown is getting you acclimated with a FREE six week program, being held at various locations through September 13th.
Author Jim Pascoe will be discussing and signing copies of his kid-appropriate, fantasy manga Undertown Volume 1 tomorrow. Kudos to all who are responsible in getting our youth’s eyes away from computer screens and onto the pages of creative expression.

Calling all femme fatales: dust off your silk charmeuse cocktail dresses, paint on those ruby red lips and have Honey polish his spats in preparation for the guest-list-only event of the summer.
An Old Hollywood Glamour Party will be held this Saturday, July 14th, 2007 from 7:30pm - 2am. This gala will be held at Memphis, the last remaining residential mansion on Hollywood Blvd. Jeffrey R.

When channeling your favorite screen siren of yesteryear, your Beatnick cigarette holder is best left at home.
As of today, I’ll be your resident LA blogger. I’ll cover all the going-on’s of the great city of Los Angeles, such as local news, community events, and anything in between. If anyone has any news they’d like to report, or would like a certain issue/topic concerning LA to be discussed, I’d be more than happy to write about it in here. Just drop me a line at: kaitlin.jennings@451press.net
With that said, Welcome to Los Angeles!
All things relevant to the energy, culture and finesse of Los Angeles. Contrary to the over-the-top, celebrity-infused presentation, this site delivers refreshing highlights on people, places and events.
