I started last night at the newly SMOKE-FREE Flying Saucer. It was wonderful. The air in the Saucer no longer resembled the sky in Los Angeles. I could BREATHE. It was so different. As for people’s claims that the Saucer would be dead now that it’s no-smoking, I arrived to find about 10 of my friends there. They’d been there all afternoon. Some had taken a half-day off; others had their laptops and were using the Saucer’s Wi-Fi to work (must be nice).<\/p>\n

Later in the evening, back at the smoke-free Saucer, posing for a pic with BFFs Darbi and Kristin. Don't forget, Tube Top Month is not over! It extends through the July 4 weekend.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
