An Outfit Award for an Entire Crowd and One Single Curl
plus, what even is a sex coach?
Outfits Awards, Plural
The outfit award goes to the entire staff and crowd that showed up for the opening night of Barr Seco, Olivia Lopez’s debut skills-splicing masterpiece through which she has crystalized her knack for interior design, fine food, tip-top natural wine, warm hospitality, and the ability to low-key draw a pool of attractive, talented, stylish people which had an entire block of Sunset in Silver Lake teeming with so many hotties it caused a traffic jam last week. Opening night aligned with Eddie’s birthday, so they reserved the best table in the house and gave the G.O.A.T. the V.I.P. treatment. Our vantage point was ideal for my favorite social activity: silently admiring people’s outfits and taking sneaky pics and vids. Lots of scarf tops - Olivia’s influence, no doubt - open backs, pops of skin, go-go and western boots, vintage shoulder bags; even the guys looked hot in lots of loose trousers, crop tops, and silky shirts. The whole team wins, but the MVP is this kiss curl on our lovely waitress, Gaby. Not technically and outfit, it’s a hairstyle, but I gotta hand it to her.
Check out Barr Seco. Try the sparkling chilled red. You can go early to beat the crowd, but the crowd is a big part of the fun. Shop the vibe after the photos.

More birthday stuff and more on a rebirth…
Yes, I wore a whale tail and a belly chain to my early 50th birthday celebration. I am technically still in my 40s. I'm not sure that makes it any more forgivable. Or any less “goals”.
Before Eddie headed to Europe for songwriting sessions, we had a joint birthday party between my 50th (9/13) and his 50 eleventh (8/22). So many friends came and so many were asking me about what inspired my career shift, why I want to go back to school to become a sex coach, and what even is a sex coach? My small-talk skills deficit, combined with the pirouetting social exchanges, which require one’s attention when hosting your own and your husband’s party, prevented me from giving anyone a sufficient answer. I might as well do it here. I can see why the very first lesson in my studies was on how to tell people you’re a sex coach in training. People are often uneasy about the topic of sex. People might confuse a sex coach with a sex therapist. Or a sex worker, apparently. Yes, I got asked if it was any different than being a prostitute or having an Only Fans. And I know there is no such thing as a stupid question, and if you had the same question, the answer is, “Yes, it is very, very different.”
Sex coaching, for which I’m only four weeks into my training, combines sexology (the study of how humans behave sexually and how they think and feel about it) with life coaching. I’m learning a lot from reading The Art of Sex Coaching by Dr. Patti Britton, founder of Sex Coach University, which I’ll share below the paywall.
