Like I mentioned in another thread, I'm going to California in April (for a week) and will be staying just outside L.A...well...I CANT go to Cali and not go shopping, that would be insane on my part LOL so does anyone have any suggestions on some good places to shop in the L.A/Hollywood etc area that WONT cost my my husbands liver and kidneys or my childrens limbs etc...are there any "hidden away" type shopping areas that arent total tourist traps? I'd mostly be looking for clothes, shoes and gifts btw...

Hollywood blvd is wall to wall shops and surprisingly a lot of them are inexpensive unlike the stores on Sunset Blvd. Enjoy your shopping trip. Have fun Visit Gromann's Chinese theatre which has grown into it's own mall with a subway station underneath even. Have fun!

Theres actually a lot of things/places I wanna check out while I'm there..I dunno if a week will be long enough actually LOL I might have to go for 2!! Thanks Sharon and if you have any other suggestions (they dont have to be shopping related either) please feel free to share them LOL I might try and weasel her into takin me to a strip club just because I've never been to one in the U.S before LOL nobody will take me damn it..I think they're afraid I'll start dancing again LOL..and I'd like to check a couple cemetaries too like I HAVE TO go see Gypsy Rose Lee's grave at Inglewood and Bela Lugosi at Holy Cross Forest Hills I gotta find out where Marylin is buried too...and my gf said she wants to take me to Venice Beach..theres lots I wanna do while I'm there LOL getting my hair braided would be nice too come to think of it..I'd have to bring my extensions with me but thats no biggie...I'll have to get her to look into that actually and find me somewhere decent but not sickly expensive to go....
