This from our source in Italy: Hi how are you? I am okay. It has been crazy here in Italy and Europe is starting to have lots of problems too, due to this outbreak. After a hammering and alarming Italian mass media cover that had its peak two weeks ago followed by a hysteria outbreak, (where...
In late January, Edible Skinny was lucky enough to attend the AVNS, the Adult Video News Novelty Expo at the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas (BTWs RIP the iconic Hard Rock, which has since closed and is metamorphosing into a Richard Branson Virgin Hotel/Casino/Extravaganza!) But Back to the SEX! The AVNs is a Disney World emporium of adult experiences from robot sex dolls (Hello Westworld!) to flogger salesmen. With a "No Judgements" attitude, it is really ALL here!

Trump was asked by Peter Alexander, an NBC reporter, what he would say to Americans who are scared. Trump, apparently referring to something written by Peter, called him a "terrible reporter."

Caviar as the next coconut water? A superfood for the wellness masses out there? I couldn't believe it when I first heard it. What came to my mind first when I was told to write about caviar was tuxes, monocles and mansions, not the biggest health food trend coming to the wellness community since avocado toast. That all changed when I had the pleasure of speaking with Sony Mordechai, a serial entrepreneur and founder of Santa Monica, CA based Imperia Caviar. Sony founded...
A young woman leads her, umm, videographer into the aisles of the Ocean Park Library. They take off their clothing in the aisles, and you can just imagine where it goes from there. But "don't be fatuous, Jeffrey." A local mom has demanded that pornography not be shot in areas frequented by children, after an explicitly sexual video filmed at a Santa Monica neighborhood library was posted on Pornhub dot com. The Pornhub video portrays a young woman having sex with a man, who...

Sunday isn't simply the Superbowl and Groundhog day. It is International Palindrome Day, a day when the date reads the same backwards and forwards. The last Palindrome day was 909 years ago on November 11, 1111. Also known as 11/11/1111. Using the mm-dd-yyyy format, there are only 12 palindrome days in the entire 21st century.

About 400 singles between 25-65 but most were in their thirties, packed the Derriere Night Club, at 6510 Santa Monica Blvd, Los Angeles, CA 90038 from 9pm to 2 am.

I know you're supposed to tell kids not to do drugs, but, kids, do it! Do Weed! Don't do the other stuff, but Weed is good! --Kevin Smith The world of drugs is much different than it was even a decade ago. In 2012, Colorado legalized Recreational Marijuana. Eight years later, Cannabis is now legal in 11 states for adults over the age of 21, and legal for medical use in 33 states (which means we're over the 50% tipping point). This makes the Cannabis industry is one of the...

The annual event raised funds for the community clinic's programs for children, which provide educational, preventive and health care services through the clinic's pediatric medicine...
The annual display of nativity scenes will return to Santa Monica this December, but they will be located on church property, rather than in a public park. Personally, I blame the Flying Spaghetti Monster. No, seriously. In 2015, the Ninth Circuit ruled that the Establishment clause barring the State from establishing a religion, requires that the City hold a lottery to determine which organizations would be allowed to erect nativity scenes in Palisades Park. Satanists won...
Edible Skinny is lucky enough to be hanging out in sunny Miami Beach for Art Basel in America this weekend (where our sister brand The Zelda Fitzgeralds will be creating on-demand typewritten poetry at the Basel House). Art Basel ranks as the premier art show in the U.S. of A., offering a colorfully neon platform for renowned artists and galleries. Along all that art pomp and circumstance, it's also a FAB excuse for the New York City art world to get a tan at the beach when...
