I never should have eaten that kabob. Since running into the ladies behind Dolan Clothing at a Los Angeles fashion week mixer -- where food was being served on skewers and the booze was flowing freely -- they've been trying to explain how their sexy/bohemian line should be the centerpiece of a huge feature in the Image section. To that we say: "Keep rollin' the rock up the hill, Sisyphus." But why read about it when you can roll down to the showroom and pick up some samples for yourself?

According to the namesake and creative director Jodie Dolan, holiday, resort and spring 2009 samples plus production pieces from previous seasons will be for sale at up to 75% (that's $10 to $45 each!) Thursday, April 16 and Friday, April 17 at the Dolan warehouse in downtown Los Angeles.

So if you've just finished your taxes and have a refund coming -- and like what Team Dolan is serving up -- why not reinvest?

Thursday, April 16, from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.; Friday, April 17, from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m.; 1407 Paloma St., Los Angeles, street parking, cash or check only. Call (213) 748-4401, Ext. 301 or e-mail info@dolan-clothing.com for additional information.

For a story in this Sunday's Image section, I asked a handful of local designers what they were doing to communicate their vision and connect with their customers in the face of the faltering economy. While many are ramping up their presence on the information superhighway through blogs and Facebook fan pages, a few adventurous souls have merged into the fast lane by hitting Twitter, the micro-blogging, social networking service that blasts 140-character messages, musings and hyperlinks to fans and followers.

At a Daily Candy mixer last night, I had a bang up time chatting with Jodie Dolan and Hillary Justin, the creative director and head designer, respectively, of L.A.-based Dolan Clothing, which joined the Twittersphere just last month (they tweet as @dolanclothing). Which got me wondering, on the eve of the most fractured and disjointed Los Angeles Fashion Week in recent memory,  who else in the L.A. fashion community might be a Twitter.

So, if you're a designer, publicist, student or simply a follower of the city's fashion scene and you're living the "tweet life," drop us a line (better yet, send us a direct message over at @LATimesIMAGE) so we can make sure you're on our radar. And remember, if you're tweeting anything having to do with L.A. fashion week, add the hashtag #LAFW at the end.
