Our launch party - the planning, the glam, the guest list, and what really happens when you throw something in LA.

From early morning extensions to custom drinks, merch details, and curating the perfect room, we’re breaking down how it all came together and who showed up. Who stayed. Who surprised us. And whether there was any drama (obviously).

We’re also talking LA nightlife now vs. 5–10 years ago, clubs vs. house parties, and the kind of vibe that actually makes a night feel iconic.

Better Half with Stas & Vic is like a chic members-only club disguised as a show — and yes, your name’s on the list. Hosted by Stas Karanikolaou and Victoria Villarroel, this is where you'll find unfiltered opinions, debrief last night's adventures & have “should we even be saying this?” conversations. Every Wednesday, Stas and Vic talk life, love, pop culture, friendships, and whatever else would normally stay between best friends (and their shared Notes app). Friends pop in, tea gets spilled, and nothing is too serious. Think of Better Half as the group chat you’re obsessed with, the after-party you didn’t leave, and the inside joke you actually get. See you soon!
