Alexi talks to magician, musician, actor, and author: Rob Zabrecky! Former frontman of the band Possum Dixon, an iconic figure on the LA scene, and overall master entertainer; Rob's just come out with his memoir "Strange Cures" available on amazon.
Rob and Alexi talk magic, growing up in LA - being neither rich nor privileged, warts, being shot by his FBI impersonating uncle, witchy remedies, the LA music scene (The JabberJaw, The Smell), The Magic Castle, writing, addiction, proposing to his wife, acting, and so much more!
Watch Rob on Season 2 of CBS's Strange Angel. See him perform live at the Magic Castle (if you can figure out how to get IN to the exclusive, members only, legendary club!). Check out his show Other Side with Zabrecky where Rob invites guests to join him in a seance to contact a spirit of their choice. Guests include Jack Black, Will Forte, Neil Hamburger, Kate Flannery, and MORE!

"Zabrecky’s eccentricity is the result of a fearlessly lived and delightfully examined life. Strange Cures combines magic and music, knowledge and innocence, humor and pathos into a singular and unique narrative. His story is a weird and worthy subject. As is he."
- Jason Alexander, actor, comedian, director
"Zabrecky’s memoirs are surprising, addictive, terrifying, magical. He careens through childhood, rock and roll, and popular entertainment by driving on the shoulder, passing on the right, and then playing bumper cars with the cold, hard truth. You’re in for a fantastic ride."
- Jim Steinmeyer, President of the Magic Castle, author, inventor
"There are some voices, some lives, some stories that so uniquely and powerfully make up the blood of Los Angeles' pulsing, and Rob Zabrecky's Strange Cures is without a doubt one of them. A breathtaking journey through music, addiction, revival and literal and metaphorical magic by one of LA's most cherished and significant pillars makes Zabrecky's trajectory a read you won't soon forget."
-Amber Tamblyn, Actress, Author, Poet

For July and August she's having weekly perfume workshops. They're all natural, plant based perfume workshops that are focused on unique custom designed scent palettes and less focused on the technical aspects of perfumery. These workshops are for fun. Each class she helps guide the guest in creating their very own perfume. Every person leaves with a beautiful bottle of their own design. Many people take the class over and over because the scents are always changing and she's just added an exotic oils class, which involve rare exotic florals, such as orange blossom, white roses, night blooming jasmine, sandalwood, labdanum..... There are always yummy snacks, with prossecco, wines, cookies, etc.
There is no one else in LA doing these kinds of events that are like private parties and catered to being really fun and focused on a wonderful personal experience for each person. She's also am available for private perfume events!
