Sexy Club Girls Need Not Suffer in High Heels All Night: Rollasole Vending Machine Flats Coming to The Colony Club in Hollywood

You're clubbing it hardcore and having a pretty good time, but your sky-high Louboutin heels are are pain in the ass or, at least, the feet.   Your options are to take that wedding-cake image of a princess-in-pumps and completely destroy it by barefooting it on the dirty sidewalks of the Cahuenga Corridor. Or you can suffer through it and end up having some perverted podiatrist handle your footsies and tell you they're way to precious for stilettos ever again. Which is it? Ah, there's now an emerging third option: Rollasole. The compact, roll-up, ballet-type flat is being sold out of club-based vending machines in Las Vegas and its native U.K. Now, Ashley Ross and Lindsay Klimitz, the Vegas-based duo that brought the roll-up "emergency footwear" concept stateside, has its sights set on this heels-rich clubbing market of L.A. Personally, we're against it: We like platform heels at all costs. However, we don't happen to actually wear them -- at any cost. Our female colleague Simone Wilson, then, let us in on a secret: The reality of clubbing in heels is that a woman will inevitably end up with filthy, unattractive feet after she goes barefoot at the end of the night to terminate the torture inflicted by dancing in platforms. Klimitz agrees: Add some drinks and dancing into the mix and a few hours later you either take them off and walk barefoot or you suffer through the pain. Rollasole is a fair compromise. Ross and Klimitz tell us the $20 shoes are reusable and come with a convenient "heel carrying bag." Despite the price, well-heeled celebs Hayden Panettiere and Heidi Klum have been seen wearing them. The vending-machine shoes are available at Vanity nightclub at the Hard Rock in Vegas and they're headed soon to the RPM club at the Tropicana, the duo says. Ross and Klimitz want L.A. club owners to know that its machines can feature custom advertising. Optional club logos on the heel carrying bags and on the insoles of the shoes are also a possibility. In other words, there are branding, marketing and advertising opportunities here. And women can tell the world where their heels have been. The first stop in L.A. for Rollasole is scheduled to happen in the second week of January when its latest vending machine hits SBE venue Colony. And SBE is the king of club chains in L.A., so if they can make it there, they can make it anywhere. The brand's reveal at Colony will coincide with the 69th Golden Globes. Rollasole will be in the house, at the awards' celebrity gift suite. And, apparently, Los Angeles needs these shoes. Another negative aspect of wearing super-hot, higher-than-thou footwear: Perverts. Rollasoles lets ladies escape the creepiness of the L.A. douche with Ninja-like precision. No clickity-clop warning to let the guys know you're strutting by, apparently. "Going out in L.A. is the worst," Ross tells us. "Walking those sidewalks of Hollywood is pretty scary." Klimitz: "You get whistled at." Wasn't us. http://blogs.laweekly.com/informer/2011/12/sexy_club_girls_angeles_high_heels_rollasole.php

Chris Pine's Guys' Night Out

Chris Pine headed to new Hollywood hotspot The Colony with a posse of guys. The actor arrived at 1 a.m. and headed immediately for an outdoor bar near the entrance, ordering drinks and clinking glasses together. Dressed down in a sweater, jeans and newsboy cap, nobody recognized Pine or bothered him all night long. Though he was definitely having a guys' night out, the actor did chat up two girls, but then moved inside to watch Cypress Hill perform. http://www.people.com/people/article/0,,20525416,00.html

Nautical by Nature

Beach weather may still be a few months out for angelenos, but at SBE hot spot The Colony, in the Cahuenga Corridor, clubgoers can enjoy a sandy oasis and a Hamptons vibe all year long. With its weathered wood planks, sail-like curtains and a central hammock slung over a shallow plunge pool, the 13,000-square-foot-space-which previously housed nightlife hunts White Lotus and Halo – evokes the seaside-chic of Long Islands East End hamlets. Once you are inside, get your bearings: The space is divided into three distinct parts. Directly in front of you is the main dance floor, featuring a Day-Glo beach-babe mural and a giant disco ball. Immediately to the right of the lifeguard stand-like entrance is the open-air patio, with a retractable roof, a smattering of daybeds and the aforementioned hammock. And to the left you’ll find a third lounge area, with its own bar and a boat swing, plus a retails shop stocked with mints, pretty sparkly things such as Yasmin & Jazmin jewelry, SpiritHoods fur hoodies and, naturally, havaianas flip-flops. For when you are ready to ditch your louboutins and let your inner beach bunny loose. 1743 n. Cahuenga BLVD   Who goes: Bright young things, industry execs and models Soundtrack: Wednesday nights the clubs hosts international house DJs flown in from around the world, including DJ Vice and DJ Paul Harris; weekends it’s a mash-up of Hip-hop, disco and oldies. Cocktail, Please: Opt for playful drink options such as muddled watermelon and mini shots, or perfectly fruity pineapple mojitos Door policy: Weekends are a zoo, and if you don’t know someone on the inside, be prepared to flirt with the bouncers.

MTVs Video music Awards Official afterparty at The Colony

The 2011 MTV Video Music Awards were fabulous as always and included performances by some of our favorite artists such as Lady Gaga, Chris Brown, and Beyoncé. After the show, however, is when the festivities really began. Everybody was seeing pink at the official VMA afterparty hosted by Candie’s at The Colony in Los Angeles. The afterparty’s red carpet included stars such as Vanessa Hudgens, Ashley Tisdale, Rose McGowan, Ashley Rickards and Samantha Droke. Two of Hollywood’s favorite funnymen, Seth Rogen and Jonah Hill, graced the carpet alongside other celebs such as Mark Salling, Tyler Posey and DJ Pauly D. Celebrities and socialites partied hard into the night at the posh club, sipping on cocktails and noshing on colorful Candie’s Cupcakes inscribed with the company logo. Of course, the after party served as a private fashion show with plenty of costume changes. Vanessa Hudgens emerged as the star of the show, donning a silver Candie’s Couture gown. by Haute Living  September 22, 2011 1:53 PM
