Anthony Kiedis can only just be getting started

With our themed powder blue sweatshirts packed, some friends and I headed to the hills to visit our better fourth in LA last weekend.  If there is one city that would embrace some lovely ladies in matching track suits, we must have found it.  What a strange, awesome place!  Here are some highlights:

1.  B-List celebrities galore!  Alex Karev, Kim Kelly, and my favorite - that bitch Dawn Denbo - all close enough to see if we had anything in our teeth.  We even saw a couple of D-Listers, like the girl who (doesn't) work with Audrina, making me feel like something of a non-celebrity myself.

2.  Witnessing firemen poking at a corpse on Skid Row.  (Just kidding, ma!)


4.  Being followed by a paparazzo for being in an SUV with tinted windows.  And upon his realizing the particular foursome he was following won't be famous for at least two more years, acknowledging and accepting the extreme disappointment we've been to a stranger.  (It had nothing to do with the sweatshirts, I promise.)

5.  Holiday cheer in many forms!  

Exhibit A.

Exhibit B.

After this weekend, I was able to reassess my stance on the number of odes to Los Angeles in the Red Hot Chili Peppers' oeuvre.  Knowing what I do now, I'd say Anthony Kiedis has an infinite amount of LA love ballads in his future.  What a magical, mystical place.  And the perfect place to kick-off the holiday season!  Los Feliz navidad, everyone!
