DIM MAK is hot.



Dude! DJ superstar, and all-around genius, Steve Aoki brings his record label and clothing line to UNIQUE as a sponsor. That is very hot indeed... They'll be there with their amazing clothing line, but also music-related stuff (if you're a music-geek like me you already know this means stuff from the hot boys of The Deadly Syndrome and Mstrkrft).

Clay Creations a-Plenty!

I started throwing and hand-building my first clay creations in the 7th grade, and have loved pottery ever since. That is why I am SUPER excited to introduce some great new additions to the Spring Show: pottery and ceramic artists! Here are cool previews:
-nephylsmythe
-Ezme Designs
-R-tista Loca Enterprises
-tARRISON Pottery
-Surly+Ramics

Thanks for Applying!

Wow, it looks like we're going to have 250 vendors at the Spring UNIQUE LOS ANGELES!!!!! Thank you to everyone who applied, we're sifting through everything and will get in touch with everyone on march 31st over email.

Until then, here is a random picture that gives me inspiration... The Daft Punk show a couple of years ago, at Coachella, where I danced until i thought I would collapse. It always makes me smile to look at it. :)

Gosh y'all... (I'm being honored)


Although I am nervous-nervous, because I heard my girl-crush Natalie Portman is attending, I can hardly wait for tonight... GOOD magazine and the Knight Foundation's new website, KnightPulse, are bringing together 5 community leaders for a night of inspiration, discussion and free Red Stripe. My favorite things!!!

If you're in LA, you can attend by RSVPing here.

*I'll be revealing my new CITYLABS org, which will debut in NYC, Chicago and LA this August. Basically I'll be creating giant 'community service fairs', so that thousands in each city can attend and discover/connect/join local and national non-profits and groups. I know we can answer President Obama's call for service. Now is the time, and I'm honored to be using my skills to connect organizations with new volunteers, donors and members. :) YES WE CAN.

Yelp? Yeppers...


I met with the amazing gals from Yelp today at the new Urth cafe in downtown LA. The free biscotti that we scored was sweet... But not as sweet as Yelp's partnership with UNIQUE LOS ANGELES!

I can't give away too much, but let's just say that shoppers and vendors will be pleased. :)

Onward and upward!
