Samantha Ronson DJing at BAR210 for Carlos E. Lopez birthday party

DJ Samantha Ronson & NeverWood High Carlos E. Lopez @ BAR210Have you ever looked around the room at your friends dancing...

It's something I do quite often and wonder what gets people off their feet and onto the dance floor.

Friends of NeverWood High Jon Chu created movies around dancing and Adam Shankman incorporated dance into this years Oscars.

It's something we have been doing from glamorous past to street dancing with a blast.

Is it simply the music, or the open bar sponsored by Svedka, is it the Red Bull in our Vodka or the freedom we have when our bodies move across the dance floor.  

I've been blessed to have been surrounded by such great musicians and pretty convenient that some of my besties are my favorites DJ's.  I would have to say, what makes me dance is the smile on my friends faces and the masterminds that put the beat under our feet.

Oh... and I guess how amazing they all look giggling and wiggling with their Brazilian blow outs, 6 inch stilettos and can still strike a pose while they're Dancing on the Ceiling!

What makes you dance?  Twitter me your answers @carlosncharge

and we were off...

Flour in the air, the sound of eggs cracking and a dynamic duo stirring and mixing to perfection.

Thanks to Polkatots Cupcakes located in Pasadena who brought all those memories back for me.  Polkatots put a bunch of delicious Cupcakes together to form a whole cake that resembled a chainsaw in theme of my American Psycho birthday party.

What makes them so great is the fact that you don’t need to worry about serving or cutting. No plates or silverware needed! Just blow out the candles and pull apart!

A book display of some of Writer Michael Crichton's books

Last Friday at Christie’s in Beverly Hills they honored the Collection of the late Michael Crichton. Best-selling author and screenwriter, film director and producer, Crichton is renowned for his terrifying and sometimes controversial scientific thrillers such as The Andromeda Strain, Jurassic Park, Timeline, The Lost World, Rising Sun, and State of Fear, and for creating the television series ER. Crichton is also acknowledged as a leading authority on the American artist Jasper Johns.

Christie’s unveiled the major works from the Collection, with a public exhibition of 50 highlights with key works by Andreas Gursky, David Hockney, Jasper Johns, Jeff Koons, Claes Oldenburg, Pablo Picasso, Robert Rauschenberg, Roy Lichtenstein, Mark Tansey, Wayne Thiebaud, and Andy Warhol.  On public view together for the first time ever, the works will be on exhibition from Friday 5 March to Friday 12 March at Christie’s Los Angeles Galleries.

You really began to understand how amazing of an eye Michael Crichton had as you view his art through his selections.  I felt honored to be in the presence of such astonishing art work.

Carlos E. Lopez, Stephanie Pratt, Ben Lyons & Sophia Rossi @ the Arclight Cinemas

There was a cocktail hour prior to the screening and movie goers started to slowly shed off articles of clothing before they entered the "Hot Tub Time Machine".

The movie was funny, the crowd had fun and I would definitely go for a second dip in the Hot Tub Time Machine just to see that movie again.

If you love the 80's, Hot Tubs, to laugh and Time Machines then you will Love this movie.

Also if you would like to win two tickets to Ben Lyons next screening.  Twitter a picture of yourself in hot tub to me @carlosncharge.  I'll choose the most creative.

NeverWood High's Carlos E. Lopez

Last year, I had an Eye's Wide Shut party and all my guest attended in black tie and hid behind masks (that were essential for the party).

This year, I let everyone let out their inner psycho inside my theme'd party inspired by Brett Easton Ellis's "American Psycho".

Guest were encouraged to dress in Chainsaw Chic or 1980's Yuppies and let me be the first to tell you...

Everyone was dressed to kill.

Check out my video invite below that went out to all my guest who made the CUT!
