If you are a true LA native and grew up here in the 80s or 90s, at some point you had a tag name, sagging pants and a can of spray paint. Pic – Harvard-Westlake-r behind American Rag on La more »

LA Vocab: Carmageddon

How to speak Los Angeles: Carmageddon Carmageddon  is a fake problem perpetuated by the media and dumbbells living in L.A. Carmageddon is actually LA’s only free pass to exclude the mass influx of weekenders who come to shop, see and party. Streets more »

L.A. Vocab (No. #3): The Beverly Center

We all remember, regardless of age, when Clueless came out and everyone ran to Contempo Casuals and Rampage for all the new trends at cheap prices.  Well unfortunately, the Beverly Center has been in a slow decline to it’s death more »

LA Intel: Paparazzi


This is what it looks like when Kelly Osbourne leaves InterMix on Robertson Boulevard in Los Angeles.

If you are from L.A., you’ve become quite good at casually side-stepping a stamped of paparazzi backing down the street at lightning speed, while your out-of-town guest might become a causality of war. Either way, beware the paps on Robertson! As one of L.A.’s most notorious celeb stomping ground, they are even more dangerous here, and will trample you and anything in their way and spit it out destroyed – be it cones, parked cars, human beings or babies.  Continue reading


3: Rite Aid

If you have ever lived in Beverly Hills, you know that one basically lives there but dreads going there bc u will see 10 people from your life that u don’t want to want to see.

It’s quite the after-dinner spot for counter ice cream and it’s not uncommon to see Jessica Alba in black tie coming from a post premiere party just for the beloved late night snack.

For BH kids who grew up on the ice cream, they also grew up on the Rite Aid lines, a tradition founded by the lackadaisical management of Thrifty’s. Since we were 5 they haven’t figured out how to deal with the check out counters.

Locals still call it Thrifty.

Persian kids from Beverly hang out in the parking lot. As does the token homeless man.

Few dare venture to the underground parking — #terrifying.

Sometimes you are charged for parking, sometimes you are not.

What’s with all those people camped out at the blood pressure machine in back?

We really shouldn’t but everybody goes. And we will keep doing it. Because we have no choice.

Fact: Rite Aid won’t sell shaving cream in October.

Meander through the isles, check out cars in the parking lot, get some ice creme, and wait for your medications to to come up.

If you loose your friends, simple stand in from of this mirror.

Uh, by the way, this mirror was specifically installed to keep the kids from stealing markers and spray paint.

This is the shopping cart Rite Aid wants me to use.

 


#LAnatives: Beacoup B-days @ Spare Room in the Roosevelt: Adam Moonves + Whitney Davis

HBD to la natives Adam Moonves and Whitney Davis.

In true b-day spirit, I should be including silly photos of Adam and some of the crew from way back when (middle school, gasp), but I won’t. Not something I’d normally document, however, I thought important to highlight seeing so many family friends & LA natives for over ten/fifteen years, which you might call rare (There were a few friends that I had not seen in over 7 years)!!

*side note* Pics shown are from friends, as I did not expect to post Continue reading
