Listen, Los Angeles right now is absolutely BUZZING with chaos and I'm here for every gloriously weird second of it. Today, Valentine's Day is exploding across this city like a box of heart-shaped confetti, and I've found the most electrifying things happening that'll make you forget boring dinner reservations even exist. First up, if you're feeling the pulse of underground romance, head to the Fox Theater Pomona tonight for Lucha VaVoom de La Liz's "Masked Obsession." We're talking wrestling meets burlesque meets pure spectacle on an absolutely stunning Art Deco stage. This is the kind of bizarre athletic entertainment that makes my heart race, and according to Secret Los Angeles, it's a seductive, high-octane fantasy you can only catch tonight. Over at Delicias Bakery in Highland Park, they've transformed from a family panadería into an intimate restaurant serving candlelit dinners with specialty pizzas and café de olla brownie sundaes. LA Local reports this is happening through the weekend, and honestly, the vibe shift from neighborhood bakery to sultry evening spot is exactly the kind of quirky pivot I live for. For the athletic misfits among my listeners, the Cupid's Underwear Race is back and better than ever in 2026, raising money for the Children's Tumor Foundation while you sprint around in minimal clothing.
