the patron saint of the sexy, intellectual, thottie and untasteful-tasteful L.A. woman. I refer to her as the bimbo Joan Didion (i mean that in the least reductive way possible) The summer i discovered this book i was working a dead end retail job on Sunset Blvd. and literally got fired for reading it on the clock. she's a genius. the blueprint.

it’s a biographical essay collection about her life in los angeles in the 60s and early 70s. eve is super witty and her writing has a kind of addictive quality, it feels like you’re catching up with a friend that has been through the craziest experiences. i also adore the ambience of l.a. around this period and the descriptions of the city are so atmospheric that it makes you feel nostalgic for a time you weren’t even born. all around it’s a really fun book!

I know nothing of her LA world, but I know about being a party girl and a proud hoe. Anything by Eve is my bible. A must for those who are sentimental and like being aimless and lost and just rolling with it.

Not sure why people stopped doing this. It was actually a really popular and socially accepted family activity in the 1920's. The perfect silence and peace coupled with some of the best and most aesthetically pleasing pieces of art (statues, paintings, stained glass, the fonts on the tombstones) are constant sources of inspiration for me. It's important to me to speak and research the names i see so they never truly die, there are so many forgotten stories it's insane. Cemetery Recommendations: Spend a whole day at Forest Lawn in Glendale, make sure you go inside the hall of crucifixion & the great mausoleum. Angelus Rosedale and The Westwood Memorial Park are my other favorites.

im a big fan of inconveniencing myself for the vibe. For example, buying a 1965 Dodge Dart and pronouncing it my daily driver was maybe not the most reasonable choice… However, It’s a beautiful piece of machinery & I wouldn’t trade the daily micro-nuisances for anything. I think it’s important to romanticize your life. Making my daily tasks more difficult and beautiful adds a certain flavor to things I can’t really describe. I’ve never been one for efficiency.

I dont give a fuck. being glam is a lifestyle. i WILL pull up to a hike in a leather mini skirt and stilettos. i've done it before. In that regard, i'm also a huge fan of garments and shoes that constrict or alter movements.
