Kick off your weekend with some libation inspiration from Alie Ward and Georgia Hardstark, hosts of the Cooking Channel's Tripping Out With Alie & Georgia on Fridays at 10:00 p.m. ET. Everything She Wants met these two wild and crazy L.A. girls at a promotional event at New York City's swanky Standard Hotel, and the besties who share a fondness for fab vintage frocks charmed us with their witty repartee and creative cocktails.
