Kim and Me at the Rink
The latest hot spot to check out in L.A.? The new ice skating rink at the W Hotel in Westwood. My co-workers and pals Kim and Carter came with me to the opening party for the new rink, which actually isn’t made of ice! (It’s some sort of slick board…) The rink is in The Backyard, which is the W’s pool/bar/cabana area that normally has a pool, but the rink is covering it now. The area is a little hideaway near the UCLA campus and tres glam with cabanas and high trees to shield the area from the sidewalk.
The Pros take a bow
Guests were invited to skate before some pros took the floor and danced some routines to holiday music.

We watched while enjoying some festive Pama cocktails (a spiked cider and martini) and some winter-themed comfort foods, like mini grilled cheese sandwiches with shot glasses of tomato soup. Although we didn’t put on our skates this time, we will be back. (It’s $10/hr to rent skates.)

OMG! I have a friend who went there and had so much fun they skated for five hours!!! 5 x $10 is $50!!!!! They must be rich!!
This looks SO FUN!!! And love that the ‘ice rink’ isn’t even made of ICE – only in LA. I have to go try this. (Random stupid question – if it isn’t made of ice, then I’m assuming that means you get to ‘ice skate’ without freezin’ your you-know-whats off?! If so, then I’m SO there.)
