California Day at Royal/T

Los Angeles 0128
Our last day in California was spent in Los Angeles. Raoul and I went to some very cute shops and art spaces. My favorite was Royal/T, a café where the waitresses dressed in gothic Lolita style. It was so neat there, and they had a great exhibit called East Village West going on, too. We saw lots of art by Andy Warhol, Keith Haring, Greer Lankton, Jean-Michel Basquiat, and Kenny Scharf, to name a few.

All that art-lookin' made me hungry. We ordered the High/T, which had a pot of tea and a variety of little cookies and fruit to try.

Needless to say it was yummy. Our favorite was the raspberries and fruit dip and the cookie on top. It had cranberries and it was super soft.

We also met my pal Jamie for a short time. She brought her Blythe dolls!

Wait, Culver City is like my second home, and I've never heard of this place. How do you two always manage to dig up the cutest hotspots?

Ernessa - internet and magazines! I haven't lived in SoCal for over 5 years, but I still try to stay connected.

Jodi - thanks! We try to find the fun and interesting spots. It's in our nature - we just love "eye candy"
