The Leg Warmer Legacy

Ahh... The broken fashion laws of SoCal. There is so little time to stop and prepare yourself to catch the perfect shot. Everything is moving and shaking. And most people invite the camera with the pipe dream of it being posted online or passed on to someone who wants to pay them lots of money to be a crappy actor or just sit there and look pretty!

I digress...

This white Lilly of beauty was not wrapped in Charmin Ultra Soft, instead her faux leg warmers are ripped up tube socks... Two pair, in fact. The light ruffle of the skirt that hangs so gently around her mid drift is a mere extension of the "warmers." Was it cold, you ask. Perhaps, for the average Southern California resident on a January evening. And I would like to also believe it was. (Which still doesn't make any kind of leg warmers ok.) But instead I convinced myself she rushed to work from a Fame audition. I hope she gets the part because I wouldn't want her only claim to fame (no pun intended) to be someone ripping her carefully crafted outfit apart online for a cheap laugh.

(If I'd have gotten a photograph of the front, I might have won a Pulitzer. Chick was out of control crazy. She made no mistake of the home business she was running. Man, I'm so inspired by self-starters.)

Los Angeles is a city with a rich historical tapestry whose stories can only be told by those re-enacting the olden times.
Much like a recreated Civil War battlefield can show you the plight of war-time soldiers, Santa Monica Pier is proud to now offer up modern day hookers with 1970s sensibilities. Miss the good old days when hookers just came right out and said, "Hey, I'm a hooker," without all the hubub of possibly being just a normal woman walking the streets after dark? Look no further than the Santa Monica Pier, a Historical Hooker's paradise.

I thought to myself, "Man oh man, I am looking for an OLD SCHOOL streetwalker tonight. I mean, whatever happened to fur coats and thigh high fishnets on a barely legal Asian girl? Those were the good old days..."



And then God answered my prayers.
