So the newest club in Hollywood, besides Drai’s Hollywood which also opened last saturday is Club Industry (the newly remodeled AREA) and I was fortunate enough to go to Carl Choi’s Birthday party there this past saturday! It looks amazing!!! This Saturday, I am hosting the party along with JPy Magazine! JPy magazine is the only Japanese American bilingual magazine which brings awareness about the Japanese-American kawaii (cute) culture. It’s a super cute magazine and every girl who is Japanese who lives in LA should totally pick one up! There’s makeup tips, where to shop, things you can wear in LA that’s Japanese influenced! Totally something I would read! I’m so excited to be hosting the party with them!
