Weight, fashion and pop all go hand in hand. Every pop princess wants to be skinny (or goes nuts like Britney or Lindsay Lohan). Every supermodel starves to death (allegedly). And every girl and boy wants to be an idol. Idols are either full of muscles or skinny like hell. So how do you cope with pop culture driving you crazy? Endlessly to the gym? Well, apparently you just have to stop the masterminds behind the fashion cult lead by editors like Vogue’s Anna Wintour.

This weekend is an indie bonanza for Los Angeles citizenry lucky enough to acquire several hot tickets – among the big shows this weekend are legendary Americana rockers Wilco at the Fox Theater and experimental New Yorkers Grizzly Bear with two shows in the L.A. area. Unfortunately, all three shows have been declared sold-out, but THE POP FIX has plenty of back-ups that can more than hold their own on the stage…

The Disney mass marketing scheme that is the Jonas Brothers really made some bank this past year; believe it or not, the opaquely-titled Lines, Vines and Trying Times is the band’s third (!) release in less than a year, although one of them was technically a “concert” record. Their brand of disarmingly infectious power-pop was catchy enough, and their handsome boy-band image coupled with their virtuous Christian beliefs made them the perfect poster child for Disney Channel after Miley’s semi-nude photo scandal semi-meltdown, and damn, have they capitalized. Seriously, go check out their Wikipedia page for the past year.

It seems like the next season of Gossip Girl is far from starting (well, actually about three months), so as the season has ended and people brace themselves for whatever new adventures college will bring, it will be a good idea to talk about one of the key ingredients of the show: internet… gotcha! I mean fashion. Even the New York Times stated: Forget Gossip, Girl; the Buzz Is About the Clothes, and they don’t lie (as usual).

Last night, I thought I was going to die. Sure, I am one of those people who is always worried, but stuck under an overpass outside the Staples Center, staring at people jumping on a moving a taxi cab, I was sure my life was in danger…

We are barely entering summer, but I am pretty sure all fashionistas have bought more than enough clothes for the season, so I decided to review one of my favorite collections for Fall 2009, which are already up for grabs. Having said that, I have to confess two things: j’adore Dior and I love Galliano. Our favorite brit designer has worked in some of Dior’s most prolific, controversial and avant-garde collections up to date, and with his own label, John Galliano, he has crossed every single boundary he has encountered, with a true passion for design and breaking rules.

Tucked away in a little corner near Sunset and Cahuenga, Big Wangs can best be described as half biker bar, half Pizza Hut. The red and white checkered tablecloths hearken back to the day where you bonded with your little league team over video games and greasy grub.

THE POP FIX kicks off the summer concert season in style this weekend – from indie chanteuses to some of the hardest rappers in the game, the next four days more than make up for the live music drought Los Angeles has been suffering from the past few weeks.
