c'mon beverly hills: at least TRY to defy stereotypes!
Heard: A radio commercial advising men to give their wives the gift of plastic surgery on Valentine's Day—because unlike chocolate and roses, an improved body "lasts a lifetime."

interrupting radio silence
A few choice pieces of my Los Angeles experience so far.
LA MILL: A vanilla latte and brioche doughnut holes with Madagascar vanilla cream. A bit overpriced, definitely a scene, but for a classier version of Dunn County fair doughnuts...sign me up.
LACMA: I was delighted to unexpectedly run into Michael Jackson and Bubbles; but less excited about a piece of art consisting of three basketballs floating in a rectangular fishtank.
The Getty: The only museum with a view completely worth the $15 parking fee. It feels like a gorgeous, floating compound and I could have lounged on the lawn all day.
