After twenty-eight years, I have finally figured out what is wrong with the rest of the world. They actually look to Los Angeles for guidance.
Best quote from the article, "Another fan e-mailed Hunter to suggest that he take pictures of shoes more often because she'd appreciate knowing what outgoing young women in Los Angeles were currently wearing on their feet." ("To See and Be Scene: With his camera, LA's Cobra Snake is both definer and darly of hipster subculture." Daniel Hernandez. Column One. Los Angeles Times. Tuesday, October 25, 2005.)
Perhaps I should also note that this is at the top corner of the front page of today's paper, which Rosa Parks' obituary is at the bottom corner. It might mean absolutely nothing, but, then again, this is Los Angeles.
