RIP B-I-N-G-O
By Ann Magnuson
L.A. Weekly columnist Seven McDonald wrote a wonderful eulogy to everyone's favorite dachshund, the recently deceased Bingo. Anyone who had spent any quality time in Silver Lake's Sunset Junction area -- or even just a fleeting moment -- fell in love with the bacon-loving Bingo. (Bingo was given one of L.A. Woman' s Choice People Awards in 2007 as he brightened our days as much as any two-legged, life-loving Angeleno!)
Officially the charge of Sarah Dale, proprietor of the hipster boutique Pull My Daisy, Bingo soon became everyone's beloved pet (especially if you fed him bacon from the once packed, now-closed EAT WELL restaurant next door!) Sadly, Bingo was getting older and his judgment must have been impaired the day he darted into the street. His death was quick but his memory will last as long as those of us who adopted Bingo are still eating bacon (now the tempeh variety down the steet at the popular new vegan hang-out Flore).

VROUW! Brings Hip Fashions to Hipsters With Hips at Pull My Daisy Thursday Night!
By Ann Magnuson
"Vrouw is a Dutch word for woman and is also a good way to imitate a big cat." So sayeth Rhachel Shaw, who is bringing hip fashion to big-boned Silverlake gals at her VROUW! party this Thursday night from 6-10 p.m. at Pull My Daisy (3908 Sunset Blvd. LA 90029). VROUW! is a "monthly fashion event for the regular-sized female that features fabulous looks size 12 and up." Tired of the boring fashions offered for fuller figuers, Shaw decided to collaborate with the Sarah Dale's ultra-cool Silverlake store Pull My Daisy to hipsterize the market.
