Blue Medical Spa in Sherman Oaks, Calif.

Last night, BeansTalk had the pleasure of an invitation to a Pure Fiji party thrown by our friend Rachel Sarnoff of Sugar PR. (We had a choice of returning to Fashion Week or this, and opted for this.) Sure, we had to drive to the valley, and it took 1 hr. and 40 mins. but it was lovely to see Rachel. We've been curious about the location which is at the once historic theater, La Reina (the Queen for those who don't espanol). That's the current outside of the spa, which is very cool and mod and often serves as a location for private parties.

Pure Fiji is introducing their new scent, Passion Flower.

We got an express (25 mins.) massage from therapist Andrea, who was booked solid. There was a lot going on, Oxygen facials, facial readings, Psychic girl, manicures and pedicures. It's a great facility, with easy parking in the back (ever so important to BeansTalk).

To be honest, we were motivated by the promise of a drawing for a $10,000 trip to Fiji. Given our financial state, it's probably the only way we'd ever get anywhere. However, we were told that the drawing wouldn't be done until "tomorrow," which seemed queer. At any rate, we're waiting for the phone call. But not holding our breath.
