Saints Of Los Angeles Part 2

So, here comes the second part of mine and my sister's trip to Los Angeles in August 2010!


One of my favorite hobbies is having threesomes with Mr Ben & Mr Jerry, but we don't have whole ice cream bars that serves this particular délicatesse in Sweden, so when we found one of these places in LA I didn't want to leave!


Here's my sister Christine, trying to move something immobile. Seriously. Sometimes I don't understand her...


On Venice Beach we met all kinds of funny people!


Had we visited the doctors who's sign you can see in the middle of this picture, we might have become "funny" ourselves...


One evening we had dinner at "Katsuya" - the best sushi place I've ever been to!


The restrooms at this restaurant were really cool! But if you get a bit too tipsy and walk into one of those stands you might feel a bit confused...


After dinner we went to "The Viper Room" to see "Darling Stilettos" perform! 


Waiting for the buss to take us home that night we met David Baker, who makes locket jewelry by the name "Rustic Idols", and yes, I now have one of those necklaces myself!


The Jesus - a k a Kevin - walked by...Since David knew this guy - and we still had some time left in our wait for the buss - we started talking about a lot of things. After a while Jesus pulls out a digital camera from his robe and wants to dance for him. So there I was, in the middle of the night at a buss stop on the Sunset Strip, dancing ballet in my high heels, while Jesus is filming me and David and my sister looks on. A totally normal night on The Strip...I guess...


Another day I got my sixth tattoo done at "High Voltage Tattoo" ("LA Ink"). The guy inking me is Khoi!


My sister got her very first session of "turbo acupuncture", as I call it!


Dessert was enjoyed at "Hard Rock Cafe"...


...And on our last day in LA I found Gypsy Rose Lee's star on The Walk Of Fame! Notice the "Bettie Page Clothing" bag to the side...


The lobby of the hotel we were stating at. Sister saying goodbye to the City of Angels!

Saints Of Los Angeles Part 1

For me it feels like this cold, grey, slushy time between New Years and spring is just a long wait for warmer weather and flowers starting sticking up from the ground. So I felt this would be the perfect time to share some of my own holiday pictures from 2010, when me and my sister Christine went to Los Angeles! Since I hadn't started this blog at that time I haven't written about it yet, but this whole trip was a really big thing for me, because it was the first time I was able to leave Sweden after my broken-dancer-chronic-pain-in-hell-years! We actually flew there on the day I turned 30, so because of the time change, I turned 30 three times! So, here we go!





The first day we spent in Santa Monica, on the famous pier, and then just strolling around on the beach walk. The blue dress is from the 80s and used to belong to my mom. It's perfect for hot summer days!


In the subway heading towards Hollywood!


My gluten intolerant sister probably managed to eat some gluten, started feeling bad, and fell asleep outside the Chinese Theatre. I sat beside her, watching all the tourists watching us...


...and realizes Johnny Depp has bigger feet than me...


My favorite day in LA was when we went to Universal Studios!


Entering "House of Horrors". Why are those two men following me?!!!


Inside this scary place I met...


...Count Dracula!!!


Outside Marilyn Monroe did a little show number. I want that car!!!


We were also attacked by Norman Bates. But with a well aimed kick form one of my pretty shoes the danger was averted! Kind of...


Yummy mummy!!!


After that meeting I needed some cool lemonade...


While I rode off into the sunset with my mummy, my sister chose someone with a bigger moustache...

If you're bored with my holiday photos you might not want to read this blog tomorrow, cause that will be the second part of this post!
