My material heart, how it keeps us apart

How appropriate that Lykke Li would be singing about how material things keep people apart when I am in the heart of the city with the flashiest cars, skankiest women, and blinged out thugs. No, I'm not in da A (albeit "Real Housewives of Atlanta" would have proved me otherwise), but on a weekend getaway to the city of Angels. (Los Angeles, for those of you out of the loop.)

I'm staying at the Thompson Hotel in Beverly Hills tonight and absolutely floored by the room design. All rooms feature fantastic artwork, sleek furniture, and sparkling bathrooms complete with dimmed lighting (so you can look extra good putting on your make-up while drunk). Any hotel that has copies of V Magazine in each room gets extra points in my book.
