Visit to Factory 413

I wonder if there is a heaven for a stylist? If there is, it would be Factory 413.The facade is so nondescript you wouldn't even notice it -on S. Fairfax of all places. Mike (sales rep.) delivered the best customer service I've experienced in West LA, seriously. Serving as a concept store for Supra Footwear and KR3W Denim Co, 413 also carries vintage eyewear, tee-shirts, and the radest leather Aeropostale jacket (not the same over kill aeropostale at the mall that the Bro's wear, but that authentic ish, that you wont find at a mall). Fortunately,the jacket serves as a display, unless you have 1,500 bucks to drop like it's hot. This amazing find (factory 413) is open Tues - Sat 12:00 - 7:00 Sunday - 12:00 - 6:00, located on 413 S. Fairfax Avenue

Los Angeles, CA 90036 USA phone #323-936-0290 or vistit online http://factory413.com (currently there's a free shipping deal)... definitely worth checking out.

"Thug Life" Downtown 6th and Spring

When all fades pass, resort to thug wear. You may wear the clothes but you dont have the soul, just kidding, lol. I decided to raid Dke closet this morning Fitted P hat and Flannel, what cha' know about "boy friend fit"?

GO GO sew !

I love to dance, and I am proud to say I get paid for it! You can catch me at Club Cabana 1439 Ivar Avenue Los Angeles, California 90028 (say Bringembackent at the door for vip treatment) every thursday. As a designer I am blessed to be able to make my own costume every week for the low low, and be as creative as I desire. Many dance costumes start at $35(bikinis) and can range to $100 (themed costumes, sexy nurse, cop, pilot,ect). This week I decided to keep it simple and neon. I was inspired by this ribbon on a pair of panties I brought from Santee alley, from there I walked a few blocks to 7th and Maple to buy fabric. Fashion is my passion, dancing is another way I express myself, ya dig. So dont judge, just come to Cabana and sway your hips one time with me.

FASHION PEACE,

ZU

FRESH TO DEF BUM

Yesterday , I dougied downtown to buy some frabric from the fashion district, but accidently walked a few too many blocks east and ended up on skid row (6th and San Julian).Surprisingly, I wasnt mugged, raped or asked if I wanted a nick of crack (5 dollor bag of death), I think it was becuase I was on bum chic status. I walked through with a medium to fast pace, and heard one of the drug dealers' look-outs, call out some code, I think he thought I was an undercover. I really wish I had my camera... bums are fresh too, one dude was getting his hair braided and this Asian fiend (yes, an asian crack head, I was shocked) had the cutest sun hat ever!
