A water main on Pico near Fairfax broke late last night, creating a geyser that shot higher than the sign for the $5.99 Hi-Fashion store.
Within moments, the fire department showed up to put out the water.
By the time I drove around the block and then turned back for another look, cars and neighbors had gathered at all corners of the intersection.
I love the $5.99 Hi-Fashion store, although everything I've ever purchased there has been $12.99.
My friend Dawn prefers Fallas Paredes, which is by our gym.
Neither of us knows the correct translation of Fallas Paredes.
Fashion Parade? Fashion Paradise? Fa-la-la?
Fa-La-La is a much bigger operation than $5.99 Hi-Fashion. It has its own website, and it’s part of a nationwide chain.
On the other hand, the exterior of $5.99 Hi-Fashon is hot pink, which makes it cheerier and more inviting than Fa-La-La. Plus the store has an endearing set of rules: no trying-on before buying; no credit card transactions below $15. Which means you’re encouraged to pay cash if you’re only going to buy a pair of lime green razor-slash ho leggings to wear with your scuffed white stilletos and ripped Fame sweatshirt without leaving a trail that leads straight to Citibank. Plus, who can resist a dazzling water feature?
