• WeHo & the Enhancement Bar

    We knew the gay 🏳️‍🌈 area of West Hollywood was exactly where we wanted to finish the day — relaxed, fun and full of good energy. So we wandered into the first bar we saw, 33 Taps West Hollywood, and hit the jackpot 🎰 with an incredible ‘happy hour’ taco deal alongside several margaritas and Palomas. Exactly what we needed.

    Afterwards we headed to Gym Bar WeHo for more happy hour drinks and ended up chatting with some locals. Fantastic vibe. Warm, welcoming and just easy to be in.

    There was also an incredible little free STI check and PrEP caravan set up right on the strip. I was genuinely fascinated and delighted to see it. I ended up having a really good chat with the guys running it, telling them about the company I work for in Australia and how much we need more visible community outreach like this. They were so interested in hearing about the services we offer back home and it turned into one of those unexpectedly lovely conversations you never plan to have.

    We also popped into ‘The Abbey’ Bar where we chatted to the bartender and one of the bus boys, who told us that Madonna hadn’t “just randomly turned up” there recently — it had all been planned. They showed us photos of Christina Aguilera performing there also and even pointed out the separate part of the club that only opens on weekends for celebrities. Completely surreal hearing all the stories firsthand.

    For the first time since arriving, we both really started to feel relaxed and settled into our own little rhythm and safe space here in WeHo. We honestly could have stayed out all night, but with Disneyland tomorrow, we knew waking up hungover would be a terrible life choice 😉🤪

    We’ve now officially become Waymo experts and hailed another one to Union Station hoping to catch a train to Anaheim. None for another hour… so an Uber it was!

    Tired. But such a great, great day. Disneyland tomorrow!

    Honestly, just a day filled with so much joy 🤩
