Ojai, California Known for Two Things Now: Pixie Tangerines and Reese Witherspoon's Wedding

March 29, 2011 at 1:06 PM | by | Comments (0)

Reese Witherspoon married agent Jim Toth during a stealth ceremony at her Ojai, California estate on Saturday. The couple swapped vows in front of more than 100 guests, including A-listers like Renee Zellwegger, Gwenyth Paltrow and new couple Scarlett Johansson and Sean Penn (Toth is Johansson's agent).

According to E!, A huge tent was set up in a field behind Reese's main house (to keep out the cold and the paparazzi), where guests partied into the wee hours of the night. But, just because Reese has the room for guests at her massive ranch doesn't mean she invited anyone over on her wedding night.

Art Travel: Weekend Warrior Series Invades a Town Full of 'Em

Where: 107 South Signal St. [map], Ojai, CA, United States, 93023

Ojai may seem like some kind of LOLcats town, but tell that to the Los Angeles elite that go there for the weekends and they'll crack your fat skull with their pre-release 3G iPhones.

Known for some killer Pinot Noir, this quiet former hippie enclave north of LA is home to this summer's chicest art exhibit at the Nathan Larramendy Gallery. It's called, appropriately enough, "Weekend Warrior."

Open Wednesday to Sunday until August 10, the hipster haven will feature work from some epic artists that work in a wide range of media and styles. Artist Steven Stein had his worked described as "maximalist geometric saturated synthetic 'full void, empty volume' pieces." Riiight. Just try to act too cool for school, and you'll do fine.
