Joseph Eisenlauer
Professor Joseph Eisenlauer lingers inside an empty anthropology classroom, jotting down some last minute notes for his next lecture. Nicknamed “Noble” in middle school for his patrician heritage, the silver-haired 64 year old is the remaining senior member of the anthropology department.

And now ladies and gentlemen, for my next feature story!
After a long summer spent filling my passport with long awaited stamps and working at my favorite store K.Sp. *wink* it is time to get back in the journalistic saddle.

Girl in the Red Dress: Things to know when with People of Prestige
My great grandmother was a strict, cool woman that was never without a hat and a pair of calf-skin gloves.

And You Thought Skrillex Was Cool: Top Millennial Music Power Players
With the recent social net trend being nostalgic or “retro” fashion and music circa 1990-2009 I thought it was high time I give all my Millennial readers a shout out.

Brace Yourself, Winter’s Coming!: How to dress fashionably for the cold
With the leaves turning and the winds churning bringing with them the first chill of winter I thought it high time to update my wardrobe.

As I...
Manga Mania
The blaring cheers of female Japanese pop stars on screen blanket the constant humming chatter inside Anime Jungle. It has just struck noon when scores of fresh-faced youths pack the spacious Downtown Los Angeles shop. Among the ranks—hidden beneath a silken aquamarine wig styled into a bob—is Dolores Stewart.

Signature brots at Dog Haus
Tucked away with a strip of stores adjacent to the Topanga Mall is Dog Haus: The Absolute Wurst. This latest installment in the San Fernando Valley is the brainchild of partners Hagop Giragossian, Quasim Riaz, and Andre Vener. Its open glass front façade and cheeky name draw in hungry customers.
