“Do you want to have a cigarette with me?” I asked the short, platinum blonde girl with dark eyes who stood lucidly next to me. / “Sure.” / In the kitchen, she asked me, “How is it here?”. / I don’t know. I haven’t been seated since I got here, so I have no idea. “Can you give me a ride home?”/ “you didn’t drive?” /...
Pain is Information
Pain is information. We feel pain, because we are experiencing the influx of information that comes with our lives. Pain is the understanding that we are alone in our existance. Pain is the perception that we are alone. It is even more painful, then, when we realize we are not alone at all; that there is a diaspora of other pain sufferers, who look out for us unexpectedly. It is the pain of...

Photographers Modelizing
I should retitle this…. “Overweight Photographers Modelizing Models, And the Models who are tacitly OK with this, but not really”
Fuck it. I’m going all out on this shit, grammar errors and all. I’ll even put it in bullet points.
Let’s just rip off that Band-Aid.
Singer, songwriter, model, actor.
Portfolio is a spectacular display of manwhoring for a decent...

Models who Modelize
It’s best to be direct.
Following a breakup, big girl panties were successfully applied, and a tarnished pair of brass balls were polished to their original splendor, albeit with some patina.
Parking outside of the bar on a rainy Monday night, it was no wonder that the bar was nearly empty. She was alone, sharply dressed, without makeup. Naturally occurring charisma combined with a small...

“For a dollar, a smile, or just the change in your pocket, I’ll sanitize the hands. I’m the Hand Sanitizer Man.”
He’s not a public sanitation worker. He’s missing a few teeth in the Metro Red Line. He’s the Hand Sanitizer Man.
I can’t help but smile. Because that’s all I have to give to him. And for him, that enough. For a moment, I’m...

Paparazzi Evasion Tip In Action: Run the light to... →
In our past post, we listed tips celebrities use to evade paparazzi. We also got a couple of interesting emails saying that these tips were “not real”. Um. No. We live in LA. You probably have never needed to know the practical reasons behind staying off the roads when a huge celebrity is driving.
Keep the emails coming to shortstoriesaboutlaare@gmail.com

Paparazzi Evasion Tips
from Los Angeles Superior Court testimony of various figures..
Cross intersections at yellow lights. Sometimes the threat of a ticket will deter a paparazzo from following you across the intersection. This is unlikely.
Tint Your Windows. Unintentional tipoff. However, if you’ve managed to go unnoticed, the tinting does help.
Have a friend drive. You can hide out in the back seat.

Today's Short Constitutional
Today, I had a friend over. We walked to the corner weed shop while smoking a wired Randy’s spliff at about 5:00PM.
At the dispensary, run by two aging Armenian men, I watched the USArmenian News on the large TV. They recognized me right away and let me in. The man at the counter even gave me a free gift with purchase.
I thanked him, and I walked outside to meet my friend.
We rolled...

documentation
demons:
“What do you want to do with your life?” Life starts the moment your birth certificate is signed. Before that, you were a nameless lump of undeveloped bone and transparent skin. As soon as your manila document is filed in that rusty cabinet, you belong to the government. You no longer have privacy, you no longer have freedom, you’re no longer your own person. You belong to your country,...

Cameras, Court, and Restraining Orders
Even though the buildings are mid-1940s, the interiors are an amalgamation of all of the worst trends in office interior design.The doors are solid wood, as are the podiums for judges and witnesses, and are well polished. They shine in the florescent light at a specific 90 degree angle, and its only when the judge flicks on her reading light, which appears to be halogen, can one see it’s the...
