Larchmont Wine and Cheese

this is my happy place. i would gatekeep but i feel like anyone that's reading this is probably sick as fuck and deserves a nice sandwich. My order is The caprese on baguette with salt, pepper, spread and greens. thank me later.

Not sure why people stopped doing this. It was actually a really popular and socially accepted family activity in the 1920's. The perfect silence and peace coupled with some of the best and most aesthetically pleasing pieces of art (statues, paintings, stained glass, the fonts on the tombstones) are constant sources of inspiration for me. It's important to me to speak and research the names i see so they never truly die, there are so many forgotten stories it's insane. Cemetery Recommendations: Spend a whole day at Forest Lawn in Glendale, make sure you go inside the hall of crucifixion & the great mausoleum. Angelus Rosedale and The Westwood Memorial Park are my other favorites.

L.A.'s finest. literally my favorite DJ in this town. Kid spins all the right techno, gabber and hardcore on VINYL.. truly a lost art. Always a treat to see him do his thing. Shout out to my friends holding it down out here - Honorable Mentions: Sevyn, 4Loka, John Bryars, Freeman 713 & Severine... Y'all make my world go round.

im a big fan of inconveniencing myself for the vibe. For example, buying a 1965 Dodge Dart and pronouncing it my daily driver was maybe not the most reasonable choice… However, It’s a beautiful piece of machinery & I wouldn’t trade the daily micro-nuisances for anything. I think it’s important to romanticize your life. Making my daily tasks more difficult and beautiful adds a certain flavor to things I can’t really describe. I’ve never been one for efficiency.

the patron saint of the sexy, intellectual, thottie and untasteful-tasteful L.A. woman. I refer to her as the bimbo Joan Didion (i mean that in the least reductive way possible) The summer i discovered this book i was working a dead end retail job on Sunset Blvd. and literally got fired for reading it on the clock. she's a genius. the blueprint.

a perfect NO-SKIP album. literally the blueprint and my childhood musical obsession thanks to my iconic father. This, Glass Candy's B/E/A/T/B/O/X and Miss Kittin and The Hacker's First Album were some of my early vinyl acquisitions as a young alt.Fav tracks - Ultrasex: 'Black Sunglasses' & 'Unspeakable' B/E/A/T/B/O/X: 'Rolling Down The Hills' First Album: 'Stripper' & '1982'

I dont give a fuck. being glam is a lifestyle. i WILL pull up to a hike in a leather mini skirt and stilettos. i've done it before. In that regard, i'm also a huge fan of garments and shoes that constrict or alter movements.
