There are celebrities in San Diego, and then there are our very own local San Diego celebrities, otherwise known as our city’s socialites in the spotlight.

Because there are so many bars and clubs in San Diego, our nightlife scene features an ever-changing roster of local party-goers, guaranteeing fresh faces in the crowd whenever you choose to roll out.

On the flip side, many locals frequent the same hot spots on a weekly basis, self-proclaiming themselves semi-permanent social fixtures in the San Diego scene.

From Ivy Rooftop to Bar West and Fleetwood, meet a few San Diego socialites who have been spotted more than a few times in our directory of San Diego party pics.

These blondes all look hot, but seem to have mixed feelings about The Fleetwood's 2-year anniversary party on Thursday, September 24, 2009. Maybe it was the 5th round of top shelf shots at the open bar?
