More for myself than anything else

[isabelladangelo]

I'm trying to figure out exactly what I want to do in LA. Right now it's Universal Studios (Season pass), LACMA, La Brea Tar Pits, and the fabric district. I'm considering a wine country tour that looks really good too. I'll see if Dad wants to go on that because I know he'll love something like that to do. That should, for the most part, fill most of my week. Of course, seeing the Pacific ocean is up there on the list but I'll get bored of that after an hour. I might rent a Ford Mustang (it's cheaper than the shiny Volvo) to drive around in.

Oh, did I mention I got my first pay check today at my new promotional level? Squee! It's a good $50 a pay check more than I thought I'd be getting. So, I'm really excited!

You should see if there's an exhibit on at FIDM! :-)

Thank you so much for remind me! They will have the opening of the Annual movie costumes on the 28th. It will include gowns from Elizabeth: The Golden Age according to the website. That should be awesome to see...

I've been out to see that exhibit once (and another time for the SW one) - I'd love to see it again. I should have you take some notes for me if you go, since photos aren't allowed.

Most especially if there are Duchess costumes there, and I'm sure there will be. You should definitely go if you can!!

I promise I'll take a ton of notes. ...and explain them since my shorthand can be, uh, interesting? :-D

Anything pre-1960's will probably "force" me to sit infront of the exhibit and try to look at the outfit from multitude of angles. I have a feeling it will be an all day thing.

If you're interested in the whole Ball jointed doll thing you can check out Volks and Elfdoll.

It's worth looking up the movie costume re-sale places, sometimes they have extras costumes that are really good.

Alteryears is in LA and sells costume patterns, findings and accessories.

You also might want to check out the Getty.

Oh! Oh! Oh! I forgot about the Getty and I would love to go through some movie costumes. Thanks!
