Whistling in the Dark...

Same set as before, but with more pictures tacked on at the end! I went shopping! I went to a concert! I got shoes! Okay, so y'all, I have been looking for vintage 30's-50's looking shoes WITHOUT a heel forever. I don't do well in high heels. I have to think about walking...and that's not good. If I forget about thinking about walking, I ended up with twisted ankles and falling down. I don't wear anything more than a kitten heel unless it is wedge form. Even in wedge form, I better not be more than an inch and a half off the ground. So, I needed flats.
I found the most perfect shoes ever at Sketchers near the Chinese Theater. I got them in both the grey/black and the burgundy because they fit, were super cute, what I had been looking for, and it was buy one get one half off. Since they were on sale to begin with for $20...I really couldn't argue with such logic, now could I?
Then Debbie saw this Vintage Clothing store...we stopped. She's about as bad about vintage clothing as I am. :-) They had just gotten in a shipment of deadstock from Hot Topic...all shoes. I am now the proud owner of a pair of cherry covered slip ons for $5...and a black cardigan sweater because I just needed another one.
Around 6, I left Debbie's and went to the Hard Rock Cafe. I simply NEED my Teddy Bear. I can't go to a city with a Hard Rock Cafe and not get my bear! I stayed around the citywalk at Universal Studios for a really good concert. The concert was put on by a bunch of kids from the surrounding schools who did cover songs of Jon Bon Jovi. I took a couple of short videos of this one girl who sang a bunch of the songs. They are up in the California set on Flickr if anyone wants to watch them.
So now, I'm back at my hotel. Oh, I probably should mention that the plan of the day was to go to the Getty. Debbie and her daughter Shannon thought I'd like the History of Hollywood Museum better. I was game and Debbie and I went there instead...only to discover it wasn't opened. It said it should be open and we asked the waitress next door (we had lunch at this little dinner next to it. The dinner had it's own entrance to the museum) and she said no one knew why it wasn't opened today. So we ended up just walking around near the Chinese Theater since we weren't far from there to begin with. Hence the shoes...oh, and the Twilight necklaces. I needed both Alice's and Rosalie's!
