Ogle: Campus Girls USA

This noble LA photog strips 90 college girls down to their bikinis to raise breast cancer awareness, then takes pictures of them to make you a calendar. The site's got stalker-ific features like audition tapes and videos of Bahamian photo shoots; there's also an application for next year's shoot, in case you're moved enough by the cause to undergo a sex change/finally find out what the big deal is with college.

Drink: Scotch And Songs Sundays at The Foundry

Sundays at The Foundry on Melrose: 7465 Melrose, Mid-Wilshire; 323.651.0915

Now every week at the Melrose loungestaurant, get a gratis pour of an upscale scotch paired with a gratis show from an LA-based songster; this week features bluesy rocker Mike Hayes and a sipper of circa-'91 Glenrothes (also what you say when you try to discuss Glengarry Glen Ross after drinking 18-year-old scotch).

Shop: New Year's Sample Sale at The Basement

Sat-Sun at 1832 W Sunset Blvd, Echo Park; 510.299.8970

This streetwear pop-up's blowing out everything in-store, with 20-50% off fitted hats from Estate, graphic tees from Reason, and colorful hoodies from HomeRoom -- an SF company whose spokesmodel is Kanye, even though it's creepy that he's catting around in homeroom so long after Graduation.
