The Ivy, see if you can spot J-me.
The sneaker shop above, even sidesways its impressive.We landed in LA last week for a two nights shopping binge and I loved it. It was winter and 25 degrees and sunny. This is my kind of town.
People are very friendly though a little too friendly they say hello to you a lot in the shops. I just really preferred to be left alone when I shop I must have been living in England too long.
So we arrived and then had a shower and went shopping to the Grove, this is where Posh Spice shops, we didn’t see her though we did see the back of someone’s head who was famous, people were asking to get their picture taken with him. I didn’t see who he was but he was wearing a hat and white shirt if that helps.
Then the next morning we did a tour of the stars homes which hadn’t been updated since 1986. Typical highlights were Loni and Burt Reynolds house, (who?) and Sammy Davis Junior house (who I am pretty sure has been dead for about 15 years), then we saw the walk of fame and other sights.
Then The Ivy for lunch and more shopping including a sneaker shop which I am not kidding had about 4000 pairs of sneakers so many they where piled on the floor. And they we went out for dinner, I had southern fried chicken, mac and cheese and collard greens. And Jamie had meatloaf. How American is that! Really American and then we got drunk at the standard hotel, so drunk I was texting a friend and forgot how to spell Los Angeles and even stupider didn’t abbreviate it to LA. I had to ask some people at the bar how to spell it. A word of warning Americans are friendly in shops but not so friendly when you are asking them stupid questions in a bar. America, it’s a country of paradoxes. And then I danced illegally to some hip hop Jamie however still had some good moves.

The next morning I was hung over so we hung out by the pool, in winter! Byside us there was a man rehearsing, I was going to offer to ‘run his lines’ with him, Jamie said he was probably okay rehearsing by himself. And we were so hungover we felt sorry for ourselves and then we hopped on the plane and came back to London.
Photo highlights to follow, you lucky sausages.
