Hollywood and Vine

  Here are a few photos of the past on hollywood and vine                                     

Beginning in the 1920s, during the Golden Age of Hollywood, the area began to see an influx of money and influence as movie and music businesses began to move in, turning the local farms and orchards into movie backlots. Hollywood and Vine was the second busiest intersection in the area.

You can still see Trolly tracks on the streets of Hollywood..

Above.. Hollywood and Vine as it is today... you can see the taft building behind me.. Charlie Chaplin had an office there. 

Charles Boyer's star right in front of me. 

Hollywood Bound

In three days I will be in hollywood to visit my sweetheart.  Nick would always contact me out of the blue for years and say " passing by the Alto Nido,thinking about you"  Sunset blvrd is one of our favorite movies and  we can recite the whole movie to each other.. and visiting the Alto Nido together will be a surreal experience.
California here I come.. again.  

Love. 

Nick and I checked out some of Warhol's original work. 

Honestly I am not a big Andy Warhol fan, but I do love the bright colors and wish Campbells soup always had the neon labels.

When MTV was worth watching....

Greta Garbo. 

When he was young, Andy Warhol saw Garbo at a party and drew a paper flower for her. Without saying a word, he pressed it on Garbo. What did G do?......she left it behind, all crumpled up.

So Warhol signed it and entitled it: "Flower Crumpled by Greta Garbo."

lovey dovey....

I am Hollywood bound in May.

I am in the FEB issue of Drive in Magazine. 

                                              

I've been really addicted to my i phone photo apps!! 

I am going to California in May and thought this would be cute,especially if I go down to Coronado.

Swell Dame makes the best stuff! 

I've been snowed in for two days! As much as I would like to say I spent it curled up in bed watching old films.. that was not the case. 

but I did spend it dreaming of summer....

here here to spring!

waiting for the birds to fly back to give me CPR. 

i've never met a girl like you before.....

What do you do in the middle of winter... have a photo shoot in the basement of course....

it amazes me sometimes how much of a chameleon I am...

I get bored easy.

Most creative people do. 

p.s. winter I hate you..and hope this is the last year I will ever be with you again. 

he said "welcome to california,welcome home".

we walked around the cliff house and I always think of How Valentino taught tango lessons overlooking this very spot.. so I told Nick this and we did a really terrible tango,but it was really cute, it was just us..and the cliff house. A truly midnight  and the stars and you moment.
