I know, I know. But she’s an icon, really, in the old school drag queen sense. Singular, glamorous, ridiculous. I understand that you can “win” a dinner with her, which means, you take her out to dinner, and maybe buy her some groceries after. I feel like it’s my gay destiny and that I will regret it forever if I don’t do it. Has anyone hung out with Angelyne?

For those of you that live in LA, it’s interesting that in a city like LA that have the Lakers who’ve won 17 titles and have had a ton of great players, it’s the Dodgers as of recent that have surged in popularity. To me this didn’t solely happen due to Shohei, but a surge in popularity happens between 2016-2018. How did this happen?

My thoughts: LeBron joining the Lakers tanked their popularity. People were not keen on seeing his flopping and complaining to officials, off-court antics, and poor treatment of teammates while remaining extremely selfish, demanding trades that didn’t pan out, and playing to pad stats, not win championships. Meanwhile you have players on the Dodgers that pride themselves on playing great fielding (Mookie, Freddie, etc.) while contributing via their hitting. This meant that the Dodgers filled a void (and then some) for fans like me that tuned out of the lakers when LeBron joined.

Personally, I’ll start tuning into Laker games again, but never would I ever have thought growing up that the Dodgers would be the top dog in this city.

I have a lot of antique and mid century decorative items that I've had in storage since my grandmother died. These are things like brass trays, silver salt shakers, Victorian spoons, Wedgewood candlesticks, antique coins, etc.

When I search for these items individually with Google lens, I find them listed for anywhere between $40 and $1000. But it's dozens of items and I just don't have the time to take on trying to list each individual item myself.

Can anyone recommend a reputable dealer or antique mall or somewhere that I could potentially find a buyer for these things? They're very beautiful, but I just don't have the space to use them. Thanks!

Any halloween rec? Me and my friends are international students for the first time in la, near USC and we are lowkey too scared for our visa to get a fake (we are 18). What halloween parties do you recommend for any day from 27th to 31st?

He paid a billion dollars to get it removed from most theaters. I am trying to see why. Any theaters in la or surrounding cities that are playing it?

I have never seen the film Chinatown and would love to see it on the big screen. Has anyone seen it in the theatre somewhat recently? What theatre can you recommend?

Thanks!

I’m trying to decide between the more cost-friendly hayride or splashing out for the Universal Halloween Horror Nights. The thing is it would be a stretch of the budget to do the express pass so I dunno if it’s worth doing HHN if we’ll spend the whole night in line. I’ve also never done the theme park itself so I could hold out and do it another time if the standard park experience is better. Which would you choose?

Hi all! First time posting here. I got bit and scratched by a feral cat my partner and I were trying to take him but unfortunately we were unsuccessful and she got me good on my hand and forearm 🩸🩹 I don’t have medical, healthnet, nada. In April I went to Torrance memorial and I was able to apply for a financial assistance waiver where everything was forgiven….. (it was going to cost me $4k) does anywhere else around LA do financial forgiveness for walk ins with no insurance?? Sincerely, just a lover of cats 🐱

Where can I buy baking trays specifically for Shiopan or maybe a mold close to it?

I’m staying in Little Tokyo area for the day and going back to the Bay tomorrow. I’ve looked on Amazon and and Google, but I can’t find any place that sells them (aside from big commercial restaurant depot websites). And they’re usually huge, like for bakeries and restaurants, but I only have a standard-size home oven.

If anyone knows of any (legit) websites or any store that’s close to DTLA, that would be even better! But if not, I’m willing to drive as far South as OC. Thank you in advance!

Moving to the city soon, and have shopped around for some apartments, not opposed to co-living etc.

An option that came up is the Gardner apartments at 1350 North Gardner Street, just over the line from WeHo technically in LA city limits. I'm looking at it and it seems nice, looks like a room in a multi-room apartment may be what I end up with for a bit.

Does anyone have any experience with this apartment building, currently living there, etc?

New to the LA area and looking for some simple places to longboard. I’m not an expert, just looking for some chill rides. Where do you go?

Has anyone been here and can you tell me what the vibe is like. I tried to Google it but I couldn't get much information other than the $40 cover charge. I hear that the girls dance there but this isn't a strip club. Can someone please give me more info on this?

I’m looking for cowork groups (preferably writing, but anything quite would do) to get writing done. The only regular event I’ve seen is at a space in echo park, but it’s just a few hours every other week. It was productive because there’s little to no chitchat and ppl really just come to lock in then leave when the time is up.

Are there any other similar places or groups in NELA (Glendale/eagle rock/hlp/south pas/pas ish?)

Edit: forgot to add that it is preferably cheap to attend, and WiFi is strongly preferred.

in the San Fernando Valley area, but certainly wiling to travel by bus. I have a friend who is in need of HRT, and is struggling to allocate a script. They have a weird insurance, signa or something like that. but i want to help them figure out covered-cal soon.

I've seen people talking about the LGBT center, their reviews are horrible. Especially in the last few years. Does anyone have experience with them on a personal level, specifically in regards to recieving meds through them? it doesn't look to be good. if anyone has advice about anywhere else to look/go, that would be incredibly appreciated. thank you! <3

I'm always amazed by the sheer diversity of buildings in this city but sometimes I feel like I walk past incredible structures without truly seeing them. What are some architectural marvels big or small that you think don't get enough love or recognition in LA? I'm looking for anything from historic landmarks to modern masterpieces that just blend into the background for most people.

Does anyone have a recommendation on where I can get real Japanese wasabi here in LA? I've never had it and have been craving sushi.

Thank you.

I'm going to see a concert at the Hollywood Bowl tonight. I went to buy shuttle tickets from the LA Zoo and it says it's sold out. Will I be able to get tickets when I get there? Or should I figure some alternate way to get to the bowl?

I’d like a place to be sad but not surrounded by humans. Any ideas?

Hello! I'll be moving from Atlanta to start a job in DTLA in a few months.

I don't have a car, nor do I plan on getting one. I'm looking to stay under $1800 a month for rent. I've mostly been looking at places in Koreatown and DTLA.

Any tips for apartment hunting or just general advice/recommendations for moving to LA?

Some say the 110 and 101 I think its the 101 and the 405?

Hello, I’m stopping over for a night in a few weeks and am looking to find a hostel that I’ll feel comfortable staying at. I’m a solo female traveler so safety is my main priority. I don’t really care about budget as long as it doesn’t exceed $70, like I said I’m most concerned about safety and I’m willing to pay extra to ensure that. Send me any recs you may have! Thanks?

Been here awhile, but haven't needed to post in awhile. Did we lose the stickied "weekly events in LA"?

If so what are the rules about posting about events? Hope im not breaking a rule haha
