L.A. In L.A.

My name is Leslie Aurelio. I live in Los Angeles. Look here for free or almost free things to do in and around Los Angeles.

Shareen Vintage April 30, 2008

Shareen Vintage

 

In a very shady part of downtown.

350 North Avenue 21

Los Angeles, CA 90031

 

 

 

No Boys Allowed! So don’t bother bringing a date.

 

There are many girls throwing dresses off and walking around in their undies (or not).

 

 

Shareen leaves a plethora of free snacks out on the coffee table. So if you become famished from all the vintage perusing, you can relax with a dabbing of cheese torta and a refreshing lemonade or perhaps a red vine.

 

There was a group of girls that came in that were trying on all the dresses and taking pictures of themselves. They were eating all the food and clearly weren’t buying anything. Quite tacky, I must say!

 

 

My friend and I were stationed near the bed. We had mountains of reasonably priced vintage dresses piled on it. 

 

 

So many dresses, so little self-control.

 

 

This is one of my SEVEN purchases I made that day. 

 

Aurelia’s Oratorio April 30, 2008

Filed under: Uncategorized — missleslie @ 8:43 pm

Aurelia’s Oratorio

Directed and Designed by Victoria Thierrée Chaplin; Performed by Aurélia Thierrée

UCLA, Freud Playhouse

“A bewitching 70 minutes in which the nightmarish and the dreamy meet and disintegrate in a puff of smoke and the whistle of a train.” –The Guardian

A brilliant display of physical theater, acrobatics and dazzling stage invention, Aurélia’s Oratorio is inspired by the magic of the music hall, variety show and circus to create an intoxicating concoction of illusion and fantasy.
