How to Open Champagne with a Sword — Lessons now available

Posted on December 30, 2011 by | Leave a comment

A few nights ago we caught with something spectacular, and surprisingly not that dangerous, which is the art of Sabrage. We’ve seen it, but never done it or had any idea how to do it, and we weren’t even sure it was legal. However, according to Christofle it is.

#TruffleNotes: Champagne swords available in their Dayton Way store now :)

The Beverly Hills Women’s Club, which has owned their own Benedict Canyon property for almost a century, welcomed members to learn the art in time for New Year’s from Christofle’s CEO Nicolas Krafft who flew in from New York headquarters for the occasion. Continue reading →

Feb 2011 — Adam Levine & Anne V– Anne V was just a lowly Vic Secret model before the fashion world pointed her out on Lady Gaga’s Grammy egg entourage last February as being Adam Levine’s girlfriend. The two became a hot topic of convo and landed themselves completely naked on a Russian Vogue cover in October 2011.  They finished off the year with a couple appearance in Anne’s annual Victoria Secret fashion Show where Maroon 5 (and Jay Z and Kanye and Nicki Minaj) played several numbers interrupting his song to give his girl a kiss on the end of the catwalk, super cute!! Adam is an L.A. native, fyi, having gone to Brentwood and never being shy to declare his LA pride if you follow him on Twitter. Continue reading →

L.A. Photo Diary: Only in LA, do Jews Openly Celebrate Christmas

Posted on December 24, 2011 by | Leave a comment


Can we please note this is what Nate n Als looks like on the day before Christmas? Then again, I am here picking up bagels for Christmas breakfast tomorrow. So many of us in L.A. are half Jewish / half Christian like me but the thing is, that’s not even why Jewish Christmas happens. If Hanukkah could get it together and not drag on for 8 days, efficient Jews every year could stop this silly practice.

#TruffleNotes: Jewish Christmas is only an LA thing and has no religious implications.
