✩ Fab Stain Jessi Jae Joplin & Nick Ottaviano attend ROOKIE Fest with Tavi Gevinson, Rashida Jones & Bill Hader ✩

This past weekend Fab Stain Nick and I attended the Rookie Fest at one of our favorite Hollywood hangouts, Space 15 Twenty. It was put on by Urban Outfitters and Rookie Mag...and it was a BLAST!!! There was a Q&A session with Rookie Editor-in-Chief Tavi Gevinson and the very talented Rashida Jones...followed by an "Ask a Grown Man" session with the SUPER HILARIOIUS Bill Hader (of Saturday Night Live). We then proceeded to party like it was 1999 and the space became a huge dance party filled with super cool tunes, a zine making station, pizza, cupcakes (by Clara Cakes) and LOADS of candy...there was even a special live performance by The Julie Ruin, whose members include founding members of Bikini Kill, Kathleen Hanna and Kathi Wilcox. All in all the event was a pure SUCESS! Rookie sure knows how to throw my kind of party! 

✩ Fun Fact: You may notice hottie Dallas Arce from our series: WASTED YOUTH in the photos below. Love her! ✩

Rookie Yearbook One Dance Party!

This past weekend, Fab Stain Lucia and I attended a Rookie Magazine dance party at Space 15 Twenty celebrating the release of the Rookie Yearbook with editor-in-chief Tavi Gevinson.  We had such a blast rockin' out and mingling with all the guests (some old friends..and some whom we'd met on the Rookie Road Trip)!  There was even a special performance by one of our favorite bands, Best Coast!  We can't wait til there's a Rookie meet-up here in LA!  Love all these gals!
