A Quiet Place 2

August 30, 2022 No Comments

Talk about plausibility issues, this one has it in spades. The distance from any sort of semblance of reality, even in a post apocalyptic world with blind monster screeching about, is still walking on a very thin piece of ice. Join me for what irked me most…

“Church of Baseball” by Ron Shelton

August 26, 2022 No Comments

If you loved the movie and are interested on how it was made, this is the book for you. Insightful, brilliant and witty, Shelton tells you how he slogged forward from concept to conclusion to make perhaps the greatest sports film ever.

FRIEZE (first published #icandyla)

The fourth annual Frieze Los Angeles blew into town - more specifically, Santa Monica`s Barker Hangar - on Thursday Feb 29, housing eclectic art work from over 95 international galleries. Born in London in 2003 out of the 1993 British art magazine of the same name, Frieze LA opened on the Paramount Lot in 1999, instantly becoming the cultural/social event of the season. Thursday night`s excitement  had local culture collectors whipped up into an anything-but-chill frenzy, extending their costumes - a word I use to describe these sartorial choices because aesthetics aren`t just an outside job: they start in your gut and work their way out. We spotted lots of walking works of art at Frieze - heating up the big tent into a kind of cultural circus.

To view who was wearing what and relevant backstory about this event please visit our website https://lamoodboard.com and read fashion writer extraordinaire Merle Ginsberg’s ongoing column, “Merle’s Closet.” We ask you to follow us here on Instagram at #icandyla and regularly visit us at https://LAmoodboard.com to get an overview of the latest fashion and cultural trends happening in Los Angeles. Capturing its myriad essence is our goal. I would appreciate if you would follow us at #icandyla It would be really helpful and the videos we create are great. Thank you.

THIS PAST SATURDAY: It’s hard to believe I was a Pickwick Vintage virgin till recently. Busting my Pickwick cherry, I’m already an addict.  The big baby of Big Daddy vintage king Richard Wainwright  is no longer just the domain of thrifters antiquarians or 90’s obsessed kids. I found rare delights from Chanel, Gucci, Ferragamo, McQueen, Celine: bags, glasses, dresses, sweater, etc, goods – all pristine, all priced far lower than expected. Sure, Crossroads has deals – Out of the Closet has steals – but Pickwick is a true vintage lover’s dream, with better goods and better prices for them than I’ve seen anywhere else. I’m going back for jewelry, evening bags, 70’s dresses, patchwork leather jackets -

This past Saturday, January 27th Dynamix MMA held their bi-yearly Jiu Jitsu promotions starting with a one hour Open Mat preceding the ceremonies. Because of the divergent class schedules many of the students were meeting each other for the first time. Overall, there were 29 well deserved promotions. A big thank you to all the coaches who contribute so much to us all. A shout out as well to the Brian Jonestown Massacre for its driving soundtrack. The photo gallery of this event will be available at thomasdrotar.com Copies of any of the photos are available by emailing me. #dynamixmma @lorhu09 @herzogs_coffeemaker @alexander_the_sometimes_great @beng0rdon @mmaleech @worthdefendingbook #mywhitebelt @andresobelmejias @hi_valeriee #enclavejiujitsu #linzmjj @mariesuzukijp #jiujitsumatrix @joshsilbs @ninjordomma @ajbarnala @garrettxasc @ianlauer @vmatyushenko @richard_bresler @phil.c.mullan @sean.crenshaw11 @anoni_hardonk

What constitutes a best dressed list?
Depends on the outlet, of course.
ICandyLA`s criteria, defined by our panel of experts - or expert, I should say - comes down to this:
- PERSONAL STYLE: How unique is someone`s look? How much does it relay about them? Fashion, in our view, should communicate personal visual messages. It`s one of the ways in a big sprawling city to find, identify, your tribe.
- WHAT SUITS AN INDIVIDUAL PHYSICALLY?: We all tend to make clothing choices based on our bodies, ages, features, coloring, our histories - our financials, of course - our determined color schemes. It doesn`t have to flattering, per se - although that factors. It just needs to be - cohesive. A picture, a full story - all these things reflect personal choices.
- IT`S GOT TO BE INTERESTING IN AND OF ITSELF: Outside of how it suits you, what it says about you - does it stand out? Cookie cutter looks are about hiding - which is fine. But having style nerve - fashion balls! - grabs out attention. It makes the world, the city, a much more interesting place. Let`s face it: people watching is a very popular sport.

BEST DRESSED 2023

ICandyLA`s sole mission: documenting sartorially splendid Angelenos out and about, anywhere and everywhere - was fabulously fulfilled this year.

I say: Why not dress like a rock star - or movie star - or, hell, Hulu star - if you can? With the endless array of vintage and second
hand stores found in every port in the 323, 310, 424, 213 and 818, one can put together a couturial costume on a little more than
a quarter. All it takes is time - and a little imagination. It`s not so much about finding that dress or jacket for a particular party - the right dress, the right suit - they ARE the party!! And if you`ve got an extra few thousand lying around - or can score free celeb couture - you`ve got zero excuses: in L.A., there`s a red carpet round every corner. Every night`s an awards show.

So dig in and err on the side of Paris Hilton: "The only rule is: don`t be boring and dress cute wherever you go. Life`s too short to blend in."

The full cult of Cult Gaia devotees filled the Academy Museum just before sunset for one of the largest scale fashion shows we`ve seen from an LA designer: Jasmin Larian`s resort 2024 diaphanous, whimsical ode to the sun ("Under the Sun") featured sculptural raffia forms as dresses, skirts, hats and her famous bags. Her Gaia guys and gals appropriately emulated gods and goddesses, each in their individual sartorial way. And be sure to visit LAmoodboard.com to get the particulars of each look told by the eponym themselves.
