Pulse HQ, home of a lot more these days than The Rock’s leggiest belles, added The Gene Pearson Gallery to its complex Sunday last and as Kingsley Cooper and artist Gene Pearson cut the ribbon to officially declare the atelier open Pearson devotes were only too eager to file in. On Monday Page 2 stopped by Café Concheta’s soirée to the new spot’s offerings. The evening also coincided with owner Cerise Isaacs’ birthday.
