The Roosevelt

So November 11th, 2005 was another CRAZY Friday night in Hollywood... Jessica Simpson, Nick Lachey, Pamela Anderson, Mark McGrath, Matthew Perry.. and more...







But first, a little background on The Roosevelt Hotel:

"In Short
Designer Dodd Mitchell (Dolce, the Lodge) and "lifestyle producer" Amanda Scheer Demme have transformed the Roosevelt's patio bar into a Mid-Century Modern urban oasis. Surrounded by palm trees and private bungalows, industry hotshots and artist types recline on linen-covered chaise lounges; wearing $300 jeans and flip-flops, they absorb the '50s Palm Springs-meets-A-list Hollywood vibe, cocktails in hand. Amid the glass-and-chrome decor, one highlight of the former space remains perfectly intact: the swimming pool's underwater David Hockney mural." --citysearch.com

As the night got started...

...I met up with my friends Megan and Natalie... these two are out of control, but a lot of fun, none-the-less. The night started as a bust, running late, no parking, having nothing fun to wear, and Megan running behind schedule... as usual. I arrive at her house to find her and Natalie coming home and heading right for the couch. I soon rally the troops, they primp, and we are off for a night out.

Upon arriving, we rushed around to get inside, meg used her I am a fabulous publicist of an a-list celebrity card to get us to where the action was. as we cozy up to the bar, nick and Jessica arrive, and within a few minutes, and a $60 dollar round for 4 drinks later we are pressing the flesh with Pamela Anderson and the lead singer of sugar ray, mark McGrath. its amazing to see the way people interact with each other and with people who are famous. in actuality everyone puts their pants on like me... one leg at a time.

The establishment was so nice too, you are poolside, at the Tropicana bar / lounge, there are fire pits and swanky seating everywhere... being in Los Angeles, its never really cold out and always crystal clear at night, so it was a perfect evening.


i have included a few pictures i found online of the bar and lounge as well as the hotel.
