Now that I have been in Los Angeles, California for 3 months, I've been dying to tell you some SoCal trends and secrets. Some very good and some just okay. Since I have moved on from finding true love in riding my bicycle and hitting up taco stands when I 1st arrived in the city, I want to take you on a deeper level of my experience! Read carefully and enjoy! (P.S. Don't forget to watch 'Till the World Ends" on Vevo.)
Ohh Southern California......or in my case Ohhh Hollywood. It's like the 2003 VMA's when Madonna sang "Hollywood, Hollywood, How Could it Hurt you When it Looks soo Good." She made a point. It's looks good.....ohh does it look good but there are a lot of things that can hurt you. I have not been hurt in Hollywood yet but WHOA is this a different land. Ever since I was a tiny one I had always wanted to go to California. My father would ask me if I could go anywhere in the world where it would be and I always said Hollywood. So tempting with the stunning palm trees lining almost every street and then there was the show business aspect of it. It seemed like this far away land where all the magic happened and nothing could stand in your way. So a million years later, here I am and I am kind of addicted. I love the chilly nights with the hot days, the tacky flashing lights in Hollywood and the Sunset Strip, and the absolutely stunning area called Beverly Hills. It's dreamlike. But what do you do to make this dreamlike place your reality? You have to put in a TON of work! The unemployment rate in CA is currently at around 12.5%. With this, there are about 50+who knows people going after 1 job. Connections are KEY out here and if you really don't know many people who are successful and have good connections, you are completely on your own. There is nothing wrong with that but its a tad easier when you know that special someone. Let's move away from the negative aspects such as jobs and apartments and show you the best aspects of this beautiful city! 1st off you're living in Los Angeles! A place where very many people from the east coast rarely get to see. You get to be where it all goes down; the center of show business. While there is that going on, you are also in a beach town with Venice, Santa Monica, Marina Del Ray, Malibu, and many more. The beaches here are GORGEOUS! Like right out of a storybook. I spend a lot of time in Santa Monica and Venice taking walks in the sand, watching the sunset, and just enjoying the ocean breeze. I love it there.
Then there is the Sunset Strip. Famous for the nightlife, such as The Olive, Sky Bar(inside the Mondrian), Purple Bar(inside The Standard), The Viper Room, Rainbow Room, Bar Marmont(Inside the Chateau Marmont), and of course Teddys inside of the infamous Roosevelt Hotel. It's unbelievably amazing and the cars you see will blow your mind. Bently's, Lamborghini's, Porshe's, Ferrari's, Aston Martin's, and of coursee the usual Mercedes and BMW's. It's definitely out of this world and something I have never seen before. Rooftop Pool Parties are also very hot. All these places you have a VERY high chance of seeing a party girl or party boy that will be in the tabloids. All I can say is that the Sunset Strip is one of a kind and should be experienced by all at least a couple times in your life!
Peace and Lifestyles of the Rich & Famous S
