Viva Lost Angeles!: August 2014

Part of the revamped. Appears to have lighting fixtures shaped like, well, buttholes. Not acceptable. Links to this post. Labels: abusive lighting fixtures. So unpretentious and amazing, it almost feels pretentious. Much ado is made of sushi in Los Angeles. During the 80's financial boom, Americans who power-lunched with Japanese businessmen made sushi popular among the elite. Sushi made frequent appearances in 80's movies; a staple for the wealthy and cruel. Luckily, I live by Sushi Row. It's not that I...

Viva Lost Angeles!: The Mansons were idiots, and while I'm at it so is Marilyn Manson
http://fayeruz.blogspot.com/2011/11/mansons-were-idiots-and-while-im-at-it.html
The Mansons were idiots, and while I'm at it so is Marilyn Manson. January 24, 1943 – August 9, 1969. In high school, I've been fascinated by the Manson murders, if only because they made no sense. The Manson "family" committed a slew of horrific crimes for the sake of.well, nothing actually. The crime that sticks out in everyone's mind is the murder of Sharon Tate. The. Valley of the Dolls. It’s one thing to get past the dark history and have a new family move in to th. Labels: 10050 Cielo Drive. Subscr...

Plastic Snow is Awesome. It's 101 degrees outside; so hot that the air ripples off the freeway. Yet somehow the building next to me is blanketed in snow, with icicles hanging off the Alpine lodge's roof. How is this possible? The snow is plastic. Why. Why it's Clearman's North Woods Inn. Patrons weren't satisfied with ordering basket after basket of their addictive cheesy bread. They wanted to experience it at home, so the restaurant sells their famous spread by the tubful. How do doors like this not.

Viva Lost Angeles!: March 2015

Good Coffee Houses a Dying Breed in L.A. The Library in Long Beach. Not much good came from the 90's. After Courtney murdered Kurt. Record execs tried to replace Nirvana with a slew of bad grunge bands. The result? An army of flanneled losers who put the "r" sound where vowels should have been. It's true. Take any grunge song and sing the "r" sounds where the vowels go. Boom, you're Eddie Vedder. Or the dude from Soundgarden. Or Bush. Or whatever. Complete with a bad 90's painting. Normally I hate divulg...

Viva Lost Angeles!: October 2014

Yes, Los Angeles invented road rage. But if you want to test your luck by riding a motorcyle in this town, you may want to reconsider the amount of rear-view mirrors you have: 13. Links to this post. Labels: crazy motorcycle design. Road rage los angeles. Hollywood films always inspire me to take road trips. I've made a pilgrimage to the Amityville house. This trip to the Solvang/Santa Barbara-area was inspired by Sideways. Breakfast in Santa Barbara. Sampling wines and gourmet olive oil. Almost reminisc...

Viva Lost Angeles!: L.A. just got even harder for ugly people!
http://fayeruz.blogspot.com/2015/03/la-just-got-even-harder-for-ugly-people.html
LA just got even harder for ugly people! Historically, if you weren't good-looking enough to make it as an actor in this town, you could at least support yourself by waiting tables. Looks like that might be on the way out as well. Because God forbid your canape gets served to you by someone who looks like they eat them. People who don't eat will be served by people who really. Don't eat, and all the ugly people will either have to take up janitor work or get out of Dodge. Or, how about this?

Viva Lost Angeles!: Rocky Peak Park - still a little creepy!
http://fayeruz.blogspot.com/2015/02/rocky-peak-park-still-little-creepy.html
Rocky Peak Park - still a little creepy! I'll admit that I already have it in for the Simi Valley. It was home base for the Manson Family. And home to the now-closed and crumbling Bottle Village. Not to mention the site of deadly floods and the first significant nuclear accident. In the USA, in 1959. Perhaps the leftover radiation fried the brains of the jurors at the Rodney King trial, who, while in Simi Valley, mysteriously chose to let the cops walk free, inciting the L.A. riots. Cool in the shade.

They say New York City starts the trends which then trickle over to L.A. This was certainly the case with cupcakes. Magnolia Bakery in Manhattan had such a following that it was featured in Sex and the City. Showcased in the "Special Features" section of the box set. Then in 2010, Magnolia Bakery. Set up shop on 3rd St. in Los Angeles. Not to mention the countless cupcakeries that have popped up all over LaLa Land. Yummy Cupcakes. Has the most exquisite batter and frosting, Cupcakes Couture.
