NO CONDITION IS PERMANENT [Episode #425 ~ 12-28-24]

Pictured: The Chiffons.
I LOVE other cities—I do. Whenever I go to San Francisco or New York, I wonder what I’m doing in the land of smoggy freeways, earthquakes, fires, and floods. Still, when I get back to L.A. I’m always glad. Nowhere else is it possible to pass for cute long after the point where you’re obliged to conduct yourself like the matronly age you are. If you don’t, people will accuse you of not having good taste—of being too L.A. for words…In L.A., it’s so much easier to look healthy, because here nobody looks askance at you for running around in gym clothes. In fact, for some of us, gym clothes are all we’ll wear. In fact, there’s something fabulous about these great new running bras—you can look very sexy and like you don’t care. I used to feel I had to apologize for everyone here using their skin and Lycra as outerwear. Eventually, I realized it’s what I love about L.A.—it keeps juices coursing and interest high. If you don’t want to think about such things, you should stay home or move to Seattle…And in spite of quakes, floods, fires, and traffic, the cold showers here are never as bad as winters in other towns, where you sell your soul to survive, where wearing the right clothes, marrying the right man, and having good taste are everything. Where the worst thing you can be is “too L.A.”
— Eve Babitz, ‘Girls Town,’ from I Used To Be Charming.
