There are a lot of dog friends in Los Angeles who have terrific lives and get to go to hiking everyday and get to go to parks and have play dates and do things that dogs dream of being able to do. It’s great to be able to do that, especially in Los Angeles, which is a perfect city for dogs (even though the sidewalks can be a little too hot for my paws). But, there are a lot of dogs who need help, a lot of dogs that are homeless and have no idea how to change things. They’re scared, they’re helpless, they’re confused, and they don’t know what to do. A new dogdocumentary is sharing these stories, the stories of dogs in South Los Angeles who need our help: Street Dogs of South Central.

Last Saturday we braved the rain for the Pentax event at A+R. Realizing that we wanted lunch after the event, we decided to try out Gjelina, one of the most notable (from critics and friends alike) places to eat in Abbott Kinney.

Being people who love Los Angeles, we end up with so much Los Angeles focused stuff. People we know give us stuff, strangers send us stuff, family gift us stuff–and all stuff about Los Angeles. It’s not a bad problem to have but we do end up losing things in the shuffle. While cleaning this past weekend, we happened upon the above book: Imposters by James Knoblauch.

Last week was Fashion Week in Los Angeles, we think. It could very well still be happening but we have no idea. We didn’t realize the week was upon us until we were e-mailed about potentially doing some coverage on it, from a party completely removed from the event who were hoping we had an “in” there as they couldn’t get ahold of anyone. We thought Fashion Week wasn’t until Autumn at some point but, after a quick Google search, it surely was last week-ish. We sent a frazzled e-mail to their press people the week before it all started, knowing it was very late in the game but figured why not give it a shot? We didn’t hear anything from them and didn’t see anything during Fashion Week aside from events that designers and fashion people we knew invited us to. Is Fashion Week in Los Angeles supposed to be completely missed and muddled, shrouded in confusion and mystery and overwhelming vagueness? If it is supposed to be that, mission accomplished.

Hold on to your butts, everyone: I’m about to get all crafty all up in this site. A few Sundays ago, Bobby and I were running some errands and happened into the West Hollywood CB2, which is always great but is quickly becoming the new expensive Ikea because, if you own anything from there, people know that you got it from there. We had been talking about getting a bench to place plants on in front of a window in our apartment for some time and, when eyeing a $300 bench at CB2, I called bullshit on selling a piece of wood that was intended to look old but was new and three hundred dollars. I announced, “You know, I can build a bench for us that is a quarter of the price. Let’s go to Home Depot.” And, away we went to the Home Depot on Sunset and Wilton!
