If the success of Juno, Napoleon Dynamite and anything by Judd Apatow is a sign, the line between nerdy and studly is gone, dead, kaput, and it’s not a Jedi mind trick. Even in Hollywood at many of the hippest/flippest clubs in town, fuzzy, gawky types are gettin’ all the attention — and action. Take La Boum, the hot hump-night party at Bardot (the space above The Avalon formerly known as Spider Club, gorgeously redone to recall the building’s Deco splendor). Last Wednesday, the party’s promoter, Ana Calderon (Dim Mak), celebrated her birthday with an impromptu music show on the club’s semi-outdoor patio, featuring the likes of Simon Dawes, Rooney’s Taylor Locke, The White Arrows and, for the grand finale, the Moldy Peaches’ Adam Green and Har Mar Superstar.
After-party for TOMS Shoes at Active sponsored by Red Bull, RVCA, and Crew West, with live painting by 7th Letter and music and visuals provided by MATTER and Phi Phenomenon from INSTRUMENTAL.
