Last Thursday night, I attended one of my favorite parties of the year: Taste 2008. Taste is a fundraiser for
Root Division — an organization here in San Francisco — that provides studio space for up-and-coming artists in exchange for their services as art teachers. Food and art expertly clash at this event that invited some of SF's top restaurants to create dishes.

Last Thursday night, I was invited to a fundraiser that kicked off
Breast Cancer Awareness month. Put on by the organization
Beats For Boobs, the event was a celebration of art, fashion, food, and music with the focus on breast cancer awareness. The annual fundraiser began in 2003 as a reaction to event producer Juliana Cochnar's mother's diagnosis with breast cancer.

On Tuesday night I had the honor of attending the
Barneys opening after party. Barneys, the New York fashion mecca, has
finally opened their doors here in San Francisco. To celebrate their arrival, a blowout bash was thrown in clear plastic tents, in Union Square, several blocks from the store.
