By Kim
Best New Restaurant
Murano
This chic new gay-owned restaurant (9010 Melrose Ave. West Hollywood, Ca 90069) has amazing ambience and a delicious French-Italian menu. My favorite is to go there for cocktails at happy hour or dinner. I hear that the brunch is well worth it for their bottomless mimosas. They are even economy-wise with their $12 Tuesday menu featuring savory pizzas, pastas, and pollo piccata. Now we have a sexy new place to drink and dine in L.A. that caters to our taste and lifestyle.

Best Gym
Sky Sport and Spa
Six-pack abs is not all you will get at this exclusive gay-owned gym. It also functions as a medical center with physical therapy and chiropractic services. The fact that it's a medical center allows you to train affordably using your PPO. This upscale penthouse gym is staffed with gay and lesbian trainers and attracts LGBT clientele. You will receive one hour of consultation with Jackie Warner herself (when you hire a personal trainer) and a tailored training plan to suit your fitness goals. Also, try the boot camp reasonably priced at $25 (you will feel satisfied and sore afterwards). For a total life- change check out the upcoming SkyLab which is an all-inclusive intense retreat.

Best Club
Panty Raid at Here Lounge
Get your g-strings raided by gorgeous bartenders and dancers at the hottest club for women in Los Angeles. Panty Raid at Here Lounge (696 N. Robertson West Hollywood, Ca 90069) goes off every Thursday night. This club attracts very attractive females and I always enjoy the friendly crowd. DJ's spin electro pop and dance remixes all night long. Get yourself on the VIP list so you don't have to stand in line or pay entry. You can receive VIP status and the latest information on events for women who love women at fuse-events.com. See you at the next Panty Raid!

Best Event
LA Pride
Eat, drink, dance, and be entertained at LA Pride June 12th through the 14th. This year Saturday's main stage will feature recording artists Fantasia and Deborah Cox. On Sunday none other than Terri Nunn and Berlin among many more artists will hit the stage. Sunday is also the day of the parade which will run west along Santa Monica Blvd. from Crescent Heights Blvd. to Robertson. This year the Grand Marshall is the hilarious Chelsea Handler. Tickets are $20 at the door and only $15 pre-sale online.

Best Pride Party
Dyke March
It couldn't be more timely and appropriate that LA Pride kicks off this year on Friday June 12th with a rally for our rights followed by the infamous Dyke March and free after-party. The rally begins at San Vicente Blvd. just south of Santa Monica Blvd. at 7:30 pm featuring honorary speakers. The march will then proceed down Santa Monica Blvd. with lesbians and their motorcycles showing their pride. The free after-party follows with special guest performances and emcees. Rally for your rights, show your pride, and party!
