On August 5th, LADYGUNN Magazine celebrated our #9 Love Issue launch at Hollywood hot spot No Vacancy with specialty cocktails provided by Hennessy V.S. The weary and disenfranchised souls who rely on LA nightclubs for entertainment finally got a break from the usual Hollywood horsecrap.
LADYGUNN started off the launch celebration with a private VIP dinner at Madera Kitchen. Curated by Spotify with collaborative playlists, customized menu & crafted libations. After the 5-course feast, celebrity patrons were valeted down the street to No Vacancy where the launch party commenced. Upstairs in a private lounge, beautiful Lola Blanc DJ’ed while guests enjoyed sipping on the specialty Hennessy V.S cocktails with fun names to play off of the LADYGUNN ‘Love’ issue including: the Ladygunn Summer Punch, Lucky In Love Blueberry Mojito and Ginger Romance.

Hennessy V.S Limited Edition Shepard Fairey bottles lined the walls of the speakeasy style bar, blending their brand of class with LADYGUNN’s sass.
Downstairs, KITTEN and Neon Hitch galvanized the crowd with special acoustic performances highlighting their powerhouse pipes to a packed outdoor patio.
