Notes on LA via Thought Catalog

I never realized before that freeways come to an end; they just flow back into real streets like nothing ever happened, like you were never going 80 at 4 AM next to a 16-wheeler, thinking about your ex. The glow of movies on big screens? This entire city is basking in that glow. That glow can carry you home over and under passes and through seemingly endless ritzy and rickety neighborhoods. The hills — Silver Lake, Hollywood, whatever all those other ones are — they wink at you. They glitter and glint and make you feel like you’re in on the joke; that you’re living in a feature film.

Photographer: GYPSY ONE

A few weeks ago, we stumbled upon this young, part-time photographer, full-time lover of life who goes by the name Gypsy. It wasn't until we contacted her that we fully understood her story. It turns out that she's originally from Hawaii, but made a bold decision to move to LA with her one true love interest(Norm). The move paid off; soon they became engaged. Gypsy spends all her time traveling, putting art on walls, and taking great photos in the process. She's also quite the fan of body art. Have a look!

Let's Get a Perspective: East Coast Winters vs. Cali Winters

Even though it's only November, the weather in LA has already felt like winter.  Lots of rain and temperatures dipping into the 50's is leaving everyone in LA less than pleased.  And, I understand.  One  of my favorite parts of being here is the sun and mild temperatures.  However, I do need to put something in perspective for all of you.

Tale of Two Cities

The Big Apple or The City of Angels? The City So Nice, They Named It Twice or La-La Land? The City of Sunshine or The City That Never Sleeps? New York and Los Angeles are two of the most infamous cities in the world, the only problem is, their placement on opposite coasts makes it impossible to enjoy them at the same time. So, which is better? What are there differences? Which would you like better? WadidoLA explores.

LA Girls: Put Your Hands Down!

"Go to Fred Segal, you'll find them there/Laughing so loud so all the little people stare/Looking for a daddy to pay for the champagne/Drop a name/What happened to the dreams of a girl president?/She's dancing in the video next to 50 Cent/They travel in packs of two or three/With their itsy bitsy doggies and their teeny-weeny tees/Where, oh where, have the smart people gone?/Oh where, oh where could they be?" sings Pink in her song titled "Stupid Girls". What the song should have been called, though, is "LA Girls". I was born in Los Angeles in a small house on a hill and from the back porch, you could see the Hollywood sign. Soon thereafter though, my family relocated to the East Coast, stopping briefly in Massachusetts, moving from town to town in Connectictut, until finally settling in Redding, CT. Redding, CT is a small enough town that my high school was combined with the town next to us, so there would be enough students. There are multiple farms and state parks in Redding, but only two restaurants and a town center consisting of the post office and church. Having grown up in a small, quiet, and slow Northeastern town, I grew up with certain values, such as the importance of family, hard work will get you wherever you need to go, and being educated and informed is of the utmost importance. Combining my love for fashion and writing, I plan to be an editor of a magazine one day, so when it came to deciding where to go to college, Los Angeles or New York were the obvious choices. Considering how much I despise cold weather, LA won. My first year in LA has been nothing short of amazing, but what has most amazed me, is the attitudes and lifestyles of the girls I've met who grew up in LA. What I've learned about girls who grew up in LA makes me so thankful my parents decided to uproot and raise my brothers and I somewhere else before it was too late.
