Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 04:09:47 GMT

Welcome to the pleasure dome. Located in the heart of West Hollywood, PleasureMed will open three concepts under one 6,500 square roof today – an elevated design-forward dispensary patterned after a Cuban pharmacy; a California-inspired destination restaurant, Irie, with a comfy consumption lounge; and an al-fresco cocktail bar, Hind. The hedonist complex dubbed the pleasure campus is designed to please all five senses, where the food is as good as the smoke. PleasureMed neighbors the Pleasure Chest, the legendary erotic boutique that has survived in the same West Hollywood spot since 1980.The campus with interiors designed by Studio UNLTD is the brainchild of Brian Robinson, whose family has owned the Pleasure Chest franchise since it opened in 1971 in New York and then made its way out west.

Kim Petras Takes On YouTube: Kim Petras has been shaking up the world for the past couple of years, not least with her performance alongside Sam Smith at the Grammys. She brings her Feed the Beast world tour to L.A. on Wednesday, her biggest production yet, and it promises to be spectacular and subversive. We spoke to Petras back in 2020 and she told us that, “I started in Germany in my bedroom, on my keyboards with GarageBand. I started making my own tracks and writing every single day. I was really determined. It wasn’t very good in the beginning, It took me hundreds of songs to get good. But it was my passion and it became almost a diary of stuff that happened to me.” Look at her fly now.“I love writing,” she continued. “I don’t feel like there’s any time to waste. Also, I just got lucky. Inspiration just dropped and I wrote the Clarity project which came out last year. It just came out and I felt blessed. But I’m 24/7 music. I barely have a personal life and I ...

Bob Young guilty on domestic violence charges Thursday over an incident involving his wife in the summer.Judge Edward O’Farrell found Young, who waived his right to a jury trial and instead left his fate in the hands of the judge, “guilty beyond a reasonable doubt” of causing physical harm to his wife, but not guilty of an assault charge in a later confrontation with his brother over striking his wife.Attorneys for Young did not immediately respond to request for comment Thursday.In July, a grand jury indicted the Summit County representative on domestic violence and assault charges after he allegedly struck his wife in the face and threw her phone in their pool to prevent her from calling 911.

Manning, an early enrollee, got a big cheer when he took the field. But it was Murphy who got everyone’s attent...
