We're sure the next generation of Pussycat Dolls will approve: Antin is in the midst of the record- ing group's launch and will bring them to the Saloon in the next few months for a guest appearance. One local celebrity sure to be in the audience is Goss. "We go to the Saloon together all the time," she says. "He loves the girls, and they love when he shows up. He likes Guinness because he's British, but he would try Cat's Meow." Antin's cocktail of choice combines equal parts fresh lemon sour, raspberry and blueberry vodkas, and Hpnotiq, which gives the martini a flirty blue hue. A dash of rock candy syrup and a strawberry garnish finish it off. "I like sweeter drinks," says Antin, who leans toward colorful creations (fruity vodkas and sweet syrups) with cheeky names. "I keep picturing a girl up on the club's rhinestone carousel horse with a glass of Cat's Meow. It's so cute." V 78 VEgasMagazinE.coM Crystalline cocktail glass, Swarovski ($390 for a set of two).
