Fabric is Heavy: Or, My Adventure in L.A.'s Fashion District

Last week, I had the good fortune to visit a dear friend in Los Angeles. I had no idea what I wanted to do in the city; I've never been that far west. In fact, I haven't been west of the Mississippi River in about 20 years! (I'll be 29 next month, just for reference). I thought about the usual tourist-y stuff, the Hollywood Walk of Fame, the museums, the bus tours past stars' houses... and decided they were mostly not for me. I mean, I love the movies, I'd probably enjoy the Walk of Fame and maybe visiting some of the big theaters out there, but not so much on the bus tour. I did visit the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) on the last day of my trip, which was a lot of fun.
