Nothing To See

You are looking at a Lockheed airplane factory in Burbank California, during WWII.  It was an attempt to hide the plant from a Japanese attack.  They camouflaged the roof and open areas to look like rural farmland.  Brilliant.

FYI - Little known historical fact - The Japanese attacked the West coast of the US several times, all rather unsuccessfully.  Each instance was kept secret from the general public.

You Can't Resist The Darkside (of the Dancefloor!)

Just got back from the Westside Children Center's annual Children's Art Fair in West Los Angeles.  This years theme was Outer Space.  Thanks to 501st Legion, the event was a blast.  Kids went crazy for the throngs of stormtroopers, droids, ewoks, rebels, and jedis.  Late in the day, Vader got up and had his way with the DJ booth at Sony Studios Main Street.

Check out the Westside Children's Center site for more details on a fantastic organization.

Dying In Style

I've been seeing this billboard around town for the past 2 weeks in Los Angeles, and it makes me realize just how stupid we are in LA. The most image conscious city in America (yes it's a bold statement) is so caught up in looking "hot, stylish" and partying with the "in" crowd - the next logical step in advertising is this. Go out in style, and have the biggest, coolest funeral in town. It used to be just Bar Mitzvahs and Weddings. Now to keep up with the Jones, you have to throw a party so exclusive that you're too cool to go alive and breathing!

When my 4 year old sees those billboards, she always says, "that lady is going to fall off that tricycle and hurt herself. And maybe go to the hospital!"

"Yes" I tell her, "but, she will be going in style!"

Thanks to Bloggingla.com for snapping a picture of the signs.
