August 10th - August 16th

The Week of Art, Shoes and Whimsy

On tuesday the 12th, I finally made it to LACMA. 

I know, I know. It's hard to believe I've lived in LA since 2003 but had never been. I was dog sitting down the street from Museum Square, which is why I made it a point to go. Plus, every second Tuesday of the month is free general admission and LACMA's Bing Theater has a weekly matinee series (on Tuesdays) where they show a classic film.  The movie featured this week was Singing in the Rain, which happens to be a favorite of mine. 

I didn't make it to the movie because I randomly ran in to an old friend… Which was totally worth missing the movie for. I finally got to enjoy the museum and when I add running in to someone I hadn't seen for a while, it proved to be a really fantastic afternoon. 

There were a few areas closed down to prepare for upcoming exhibitions so I look forward to seeing what's in store. There are also a few matinees that I want to see, including one on my birthday…

I'll surely be going back soon.

I was asked to head over to Mambo Casting on Wednesday the 13th. I had never been to this casting office before and the reasoning behind it was most definitely new to me. My converse, got a callback for a Converse photoshoot… In New York. 

Yup. You read that right. My shoes had a callback for Converse, in New York. I went in with the so they could do a quick shoot that they added when they shipped them for their callback. 

Since I have never been to NY, I find it very amusing that my shoes went without me. I just know that when I do finally get to go, I plan on bringing those converse with me.

On Thursday the 14th, I finally got to check out the super nerdy and totally rad store called Whimsic Alley. This place has a whole lot of Doctor Who, Harry Potter, Game of Thrones and other swag.

In the back of the shop there's another area with a "great hall" where they hold events. Which is definitely a place I'd want to rent for a fun shindig… Because nerd reasons.

I found a lot of future birthday and holiday gift ideas there, as well as some stuff that I wouldn't mind having myself. So, let me know if you want to head in here again anytime soon. 

That's is for this week. Now, on to the next...
