The Return of the Gold Bikini

Say what you will about Audrina Patridge—her languid burger-on-the-sand commercial has brought back the gold bikini to Princess Leia-level fame. And now you can custom-order that very bikini for your favorite beach bunny. Your generosity knows no bounds.

$350, now available here

Post-Pier Thursdays at the Viceroy
POOLSIDE

Post-Pier Thursdays at the Viceroy

Too many happy hours end before you're ready to get happy, but tonight you'll find half-off beer and wine by the Viceroy's pool starting at a night-owl-friendly 9pm. Technically it's in conjunction with the pier's Twilight Dance Series, but you don't question the reason for half-off drinks. You just don't.

Thursdays through summer, 9pm-close, 1819 Ocean Ave (at Pico), 310-260-7511

Friday
Heavenly Hour at Nirvana
BEDTIME

Heavenly Hour at Nirvana

If it's Bollywood flair you've been lacking, the beds in Nirvana's lounge await. The new happy hour menu's got $6 options like Chicken Tikka Masala and the drinkable Burning Passion, made with vodka and crushed Serrano chiles. It's the only burning sensation you want to feel in bed.

Mon-Fri 5-7pm, 8689 Wilshire Blvd (E. of Robertson), Beverly Hills, 310-657-5040

Saturday
Summer Sessions at Oliver Peoples
SHADES

Summer Sessions at Oliver Peoples

Saturday night at Oliver Peoples, shades usually priced between $300 and $500 will be slashed to either $99 or $119. Plus, KCRW's Garth Trinidad will be spinning, so you can get his opinion on those aviators between trips to the open bar.

July 11 and 25, 6-9pm, Malibu Country Mart, 310-456-1333

Tuesday
1st Tuesdays at West 4th/Jane
EARLY ACCESS

1st Tuesdays at West 4th/Jane

If there's one thing you like in your new beer dens, it's…gratis wine. So over in Santa Monica, UD members get a one-hour head start at Tuesday's new monthly celebration of wine, passed appetizers, wine and new art on the walls. And wine.

July 14, 7-8pm open to VIPs (you), party 8-10pm, 1432-A 4th St, 310-395-6765
