Style Seen Daily friend and San Diego Chargers Linebacker Shaun Phillips co-hosted the “Modern Man” party for Angeleno Magazine at the rooftop pool of The Residences At W Hollywood.

Angeleno also asked four other “modern men” to host the event with Shaun, including Jesse Waits owner of Drai’s Hollywood, Pedro Marti wealth management advisor for Wells Fargo, Matt Petersen president of Global Green, and Tom Drumm from The Safran Company.

Shaun reveals that he dresses to match his beloved convertible Maserati.  ”Always,” he said. “I love my car.”  OMG I can’t even ask him what he has named his car… some things just better left unasked.  However I did ask Shaun about his suit and learned he had it custom made by Astor and Black.

Jesse Waits, owner of Drai’s Hollywood, said being being successful to him is “not about the money, but about being the best in the world at doing something different.”  (Note: As soon as Drai’s Hollywood opened it scored a scene in Entourage as the new “it” club.)

Party goers at the Angelino "Modern Man" event were able to watch the sunset and check out the Los Angeles skyline atop The Residences At W Hollywood while enjoying cocktails and appetizers.

Matt Peterson, Global Green CEO, wore a suit made out of organic wool and recycled audio cassette tapes — yes AUDIO tapes. Matt personally works with such celebrities as Leonardo DiCaprio, James Cameron, Jessica Alba and Eva Longoria to help raise awareness of being more green.  Matt said, “well you know when a celebrity steps up people pay attention so we’re doing all we can to use that opportunity to drive us in the right direction.”  IE being more green friendly.  Click here to learn more about Global Green.

Tom Drumm, Talent Manager at The Safran Company, said that he advises men to find a girl with great style to help guide them to looking and feeling their best.  What a smart man.  Drumm said, “whatever (my girlfriends) say, I do.”  I mean, super genius smart, right?

Event sponsors included Don Julio Tequila (my favorite) and Johnnie Walker Scotch Whiskey.

Buff and polish those gams, gals, and make that final play to tighten that tummy – it’s swimwear season and you are going to love the suit trends for this summer.  But first, here’s a little dish on a Victoria’s Secret swimwear party that made quite a splash last week in Los Angeles:

The Victoria’s Secret swimwear party last week in Beverly Hills was the place to be if you are a model or model lover. The VS Angels were there in full force, including swimsuit vixens Miranda Kerr and Alessandra Ambrosio. Of course model-loving actors like Leonardo DiCaprio, Jeremy Piven and Kevin Connolly were just a handful of hunks on hand.  And, we all know it’s not a hot party without the party heiress herself, Paris Hilton, who was in an extremely good mood chatting with party goers, her on-again off-again BFF Nicole Ritchie and her former flame Benji Madden.  Waitresses who could easily grace the pages of a VS catalog themselves passed out chocolate covered strawberries and champagne.  The walls were covered with VS models posing in iconic swimsuits and plasma screens looped behind the scenes video from the shoot.  Simply stated, there was no way I was eating a chocolate covered strawberry but the party did inspire me to revisit my swimsuit collection. With swimsuits, just like chocolate, one is never enough. CLICK HERE FOR MORE

Hollywood Domino

Hollywood Domino is the original table game created in Hollywood and played by the stars. The classic game of dominos was given a new twist when A-listers such as Demi Moore, Penelope Cruz, and Charlize Theron began playing dominos with their own “house rules”, creating Hollywood Domino.  February 2008 saw the first Hollywood Domino tournament in Los Angeles, where Charlize Theron was crowned domino champion.
