Update: all of Italy has now been declared a red zone, under quarantine due to the novel coronavirus. No public transportation, no going out at night, no work or school except from home. 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! And,...
Coronavirus has changed the way we all do business, without a doubt. Most businesses are simply closed, and non essential medical procedures are being delayed. We wondered what to do if, during the national emergency, they get a toothache, broken tooth, or other situation that just won't wait? We asked Lily at Best Natural Smile dental office in Santa Monica, whether they are seeing patients for routine dental needs. "In light of current events, our dental team has fully trans...
Sisters Leat and Kayla, 20 and 19 years old, were sent home from college as most other students were this semester because of COVID-19. These sisters, however, had as father Rabbi Sam Newman, chaplain of the West Bureau Los Angeles Police Department. "Rather than sit around and waste time they decided to do something constructive," Newman says. Enlisting friends, the two sisters created a WhatsApp group, Shopping Helpers L.A., that receives requests for groceries from seniors...
The worldwide coronavirus emergency which came upon us so quickly continues to evolve. Many people take walks or exercise in Palisades Park, politely maintaining 6 feet distance from each other when possible. I have spoken to occasional groups of tourists from Brazil, Germany, or even China this week. Santa Monica Pier remains closed. The closed Pier, still lit up at night, is considered a symbol of Los Angeles County's shutdown. "Be prepared to isolate or to quarantine,"...
The response of public officials to the increasing cases of COVID-19 accelerated greatly since twenty-three thousand athletes and even more spectators descended on the city to participate in the Los Angeles Marathon on March 8. At that time, officials considered adding hand sanitizer stations and advising people to stay six feet away from each other would be adequate precautions to take in a county that at that time only had 14 confirmed cases of coronavirus. (Newsflash:...
Today was the first day for the senior hours at Costco, and boy did it get crazy. Knowing that it would most likely be chaotic I called the day before and asked where the senior line would start. The person I spoke with told me that seniors would be lining up at the refund door and there would be a separate area for the General line. When I arrived at 6:45 this morning the general line was already around the store, yet no one was in the designated senior line. I grabbed a...
I want to list all the nice things people did for me today in Santa Monica. But first, an important message: "The emergency department at Providence St. John's Hospital in Santa Monica desperately needs N95 face masks. They will drive anywhere to pick them up," If you have such masks, either call 310-829-5511 and wait for the operator to ask for the ER. Or DM Allison at @2degreesofalie. So it was a gorgeous day today here in Santa Monica. My day began with a walk to the local...
Evidently, a bakery in the New Orleans area is selling customers cakes in shaped like rolls of toilet paper. TP has become hard to find during the coronavirus pandemic. "We have some toilet paper cakes in the bakery today! Swing on buy and grab a TP cake and your favorite bakery treats! To-go only. 😋" tweeted Haydels bakery. “It’s just anytime something in the city happens, we’ve garnered the reputation for making light of bad situations,” co-owner David Haydel told the T...
No doubt you've seen the photos from your own City or Town. Main Street or the strip, usually bustling with people, are now lit up at night. But aside from the occasional SUV or Sedan, nothing is moving where once there were happy crowds, young and old together. A Las Vegas resident named Silton Buendia posted these photos on Instagram, Facebook and other social media. His text which accompanies the photos is below. Nevada Gov. Steve Sisolak’s order on nonessential Nevada b...
At the Coronavirus Task Force briefing from the White House, a daily briefing from the White House, US President Donald J. 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." Reporter: "What do you say to Americans who are scared. Nearly 200 dead, 14,000 sick, millions scared." Trump: "I say you are a terrible reporter, that's what I...
Kehillat Maarav Synagogue in Santa Monica conducted its annual Purim costume celebration without its Rabbi. The Synagogue Executive Director said in advance that he would not attend the celebration, "out of an abundance of caution," since he attended the AIPAC conference on March 2, 2020. Most churches and synagogues locally have suspended gatherings for a couple of weeks. In Judaism, congregants gather on Friday night or Saturday morning to celebrate the Sabbath. For the...

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...

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. This stylish club was cute but was too jammed with the 400 singles, trying to meet, mingle and dance. The lighting was too murky and dark, and many people spilled their drinks, unable to find a table in the shadowy night club The MatzoBall Holiday Party last year was held at the Argyle Night Club in Hollywood,...
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...
