Only in LA: It’s Prop-a-Palooza

There are some cool, if not interesting things that go along with living in LA: you get to see movie and television stars doing totally normal things where you least expect it; anywhere you turn, they’re filming something or some place on TV looks like it was filmed up the street from your home (and it usually was); and even on the coldest of cold days, it’s quite warm and comfortable.

Basically, there’s something cool going on at any corner.

On Friday I experienced my first prop sale. Basically, it’s a movie and film prop house (think rentals for the industry) having a warehouse clearance sale. I mean an everything must go sale.

I went just to see what it was like. I had no intention to buy anything (and I didn’t). But that didn’t mean I wasn’t excited by a few things. For the most part though, there wasn’t much that I could get behind…mid-century furniture, sci-fi paraphernalia, night club furniture, lights, lights and more lights, and well, your basic round and heart-shaped beds.

Check it out…all things a girl can’t live without…

    LA can be fun. I have to say though, it can be quite shocking at first. The dress code takes a little getting used to. I mean, jeans go everywhere here, but you have to get it right. I remember when I first moved here asking a friend when I’d learn to dress right. She reminded me that she’s lived here her whole life and still doesn’t always get it right. I will say, I’m much more comfortable with who I am now than I was then. That’s for sure.
