Each December for the past 18 years 686 owner Mike West has been thown a holiday party for employees, friends, and family. This year his annual Black & White Party was held at Hollywood’s Bardot on Vine. By 9 PM there was a line 60 people deep all dressed in some kind of mix of darkness and light, and truthfully, not standing out a whole lot from regular Hollywood night visitors.
Inside guests were treated to caricature artists, DJ Barbie and DJ Quickstat, the requisite photo booth, not to mention the warm hospitality Mr. West always provides. At 9 PM models showed off 686’s next wave of outerwear. It was an amazing evening of holiday cheer that reminded us that Hollywood still isn’t overrated.
