In an effort to spread the Doody Free Girls Movement nationwide, I took the liberty of experiencing a jet-setting, 24 hour rendezvous in LA to celebrate the release of friend, Kimberly Snyder’s new book, The Beauty Detox Foods. And let’s be honest, I was hoping to make some celebrity connections. I am reporting back that I made only one connection and that involved Dita Von Teese virtually telling me to go F myself when I asked for a picture with her while she was eating.

I had a great time nonetheless and my money shot, ironically, involved no celebrities and was not even taken at the party, but rather with a gem I found on the streets of Venice Beach.
