They sure do....and that disturbs me every time I see it :( If ever there was a reason for not ever moving back to the UK....that is high on the list! ;)

I have an awkward situation.. my very handsome and hip-urban-dude neighbor turned up at every event this summer in... wait for it... capri pants.

I can't look at him the same way since this topic came up on BE. How would I know who to scorn???

I have to say the 'brit look' is better than the American look of all members of the family walking around in the same Mickey Mouse Hawaiian shirt and matching shorts and ears.:blink:

Too late, I think. Next summer, all the boys will be wearing them.
Darn neighbor guy looks hot in them too. O the shame!

All drivers in LA are wonderful, its never hot in LA never, and living in LA is super cheap and the taxes are so low, earthquake insurance is free too.:p

Humidity was ok this time thankfully, and it seemed fairly cool compared to leaving the 110 of LA. Did get bitten a few times though 'cos we forgot to repel on the 1st night:(

Who was biting....Bugs or Hubby?!!!

As for driving here...well. It's a Free for all!!. Bash your way in and out on the freeways here. I don't think i've seen a polite driver in LA yet.

I am still stumped why CA is so broke with all the taxes here and wealth. I can't fathom it out. Maybe someone can explain.

Loss of property taxes and a moronic Governor.

That is a major point for me.

In SoCal, dry rivers = no bugs. I LOVE it.

My inlaws live in Chino Hills, they have been complaining about the high humidity there this Summer, is this new?

So what do the 'typical' woman and men look like in LA.

I just have image of false tits, botox and smell of cash in the air.
