Enjoy fresh sushi and Pacific Rim dishes provided by one of our favorite Asian restaurants, Fury Rok & Rol Sushi Lounge in Newport Beach. Informal modeling provided by elle H in Laguna Beach, featuring a Spring fashion preview, and music by spinmaster "Spider" Ron Entwistle, an LA-based multi-platinum selling writer/producer.
