Breaking News: Santa Monica Place
Santa Monica Place: New Bloomingdale’s In Santa Monica
Bloomingdale’s Creative VP Jack Hruska doesn’t mince words about the old Santa Monica Place: it was “an eyesore of a building.” The fortress-like structure has been revamped (to the tune of $265 million), and Bloomingdale’s has replaced Macy’s as the center’s anchor department store. Hruska, who completely designed the interior layout and aesthetic of the Santa Monica Bloomingdale’s, spoke like a proud papa with the Huffington Post at the sneak preview of the new store: There’s an incredibly eclectic feel to the store. We used materials like cement, raw cement mixed with white, warm wood mixed with luxe materials – a combination of interesting textures that makes it feel unique. And I tried very hard to make it feel like Southern California, and very much like Santa Monica. There’s incredibly unique things to this store that we’ve never done before. Santa Monica Place sits at the south end of very successful 3rd St. Promenade (LA Times reported the Prom’s retail sales at $1,000/square foot, while old Santa Monica Place sold $400/square foot).

Michaele Salahi Denies Anorexia, Skips ‘Real Housewives’ Premiere
‘The Real Housewives of Washington, DC’ premiered Thursday night, and the most infamous cast member, White House party crasher Michaele Salahi, skipped the party. Us Weekly collected reactions from her castmates: “I don’t want to see them; I don’t want to talk to them,” said Catherine Ommanney. “I don’t want to be associated with them.” Lynda Erkiletian said, “I was very happy to hear that they had their own premiere party and would be attending that and not torturing us any more than they have in the past.” Lynda called Michaele anorexic on the show, and Michaele addressed her weight with Us Weekly. “One person might think I’m anorexic or skinny; another person might have another thought,” she said. “Everyone is different. There are bigger things going on in the world than my weight.” Meanwhile New York Housewife Alex McCord is not impressed with the DC housewives. The premiere left her “bored and turned off,” she wrote in a blog post for People.
