Out on the playground, you were notorious for inciting games of Boys Chase (and Kiss) the Girls.

You always ran the fastest, yet mysteriously always managed to get caught.

Take your next time-out at Publik Park. The mix of local up-and-coming and big-time designers at the new La Brea shop will really get you riled up.

Amid monkey bars, swings, fake greenery, and stainless steel dressing rooms à la park restroom stalls (clean ones, not a George Michael in sight), you’ll find clothes for men and women from labels like Madison Marcus, Voom, Ted Baker, and Converse by John Varvatos.

Playtime never ends with their monthly T-shirt project: Anyone can submit ideas, and if your design is chosen, they produce it, put your name on the tag, and sell it.

And provided that you R.S.V.P., you can hit the grand opening party to celebrate the boutique with a cocktail in hand.

What a Publik display of affection.

Publik Park, 114 South La Brea Avenue, between First and Second Streets, La Brea Corridor (323-936-5331). Grand opening, Friday, 7-11 p.m. R.S.V.P. (mandatory) to jody@frame-pr.net.
