I’m headed down to Venice Beach this weekend. Sounds like it’s changed since I’ve been there, but Botox on the Beach? Ugh. People smoke everywhere here, it’s more acceptable than public alcohol consumption.

You saw ONLY two dispensaries? ;-)

You were literally 6 blocks (or less) from our house!!!

Hunky Santa: Santa Claus’ fit son, and his strippers, er, candy cane girls. THAT’s how you know you’re in LA. (i used to live right by this mall, happily I moved, so I can’t smell his peppermint & drakkar noir aftershave, but there’s a giant billboard advertising his…services… on my way home from work.

LA is definitely a trip!

That’s hilarious! I used to live in an uppity part of the ‘burbs outside of Dallas, TX. We got free “cosmetics” magazines on our doorstep several times a week and I would regularly listen to the ladies at my gym compare plastic surgery stories. It was then that I knew I had to get out of there. I moved to Houston. We like to stay our ugly selves here mostly…(grin)

Can you believe I used to live within walking distance of the boardwalk? (Suzanne Somers has a place down there too). Moving out of California was the best thing I ever did!

Love the blog meet up coverage too. I’m glad you can still respect that everyone is different, and though even I wish I were one of those “Hey, I won a 5k!” people, I just am who I am and can only be the best ME every day.

(Wish I could hit the Maryland convention in ’10 but it’s too far away) :(

California is a totally different world – a stoney fairy land. My boyfriend’s brother lives there so we hear about how casual everyone is about smoking. Nutty.

I looked at the first picture and thought, “Nope, not only in California…in Colorado too!” There are an amazing number of … um … dipenseries here.

LOL, I remember that medical marijuana dude from when I visited there a month ago. Did you get to see people just sitting out in public at the beach, openly smoking weed? That was definitely something I’d never seen before.

Hmph. What do they talk about in your neck of the woods, huh? What about an “Only in Indiana” post, woman, hmmmnnnnnnn?

Beach botox?! Here’s hoping they don’t collect their needles there…
