the lack of culture
they aren't outgoing, they are abrasive overconfident dickheads. Seems i've been called that before hmm.
People being friendly ? They want something. At least people in NY don't bullshit you.
What i mean by Tommy Lee is that whole LA accent way of talking. People do not value the finer things in life. People have no style. Of course I was raised in montreal which is NY but smaller. And congrats for being in his presence for more than 10 minutes. Painful.
LA sucks. And NYC is way more hectic so i don't think it is not being able to deal. Well yes, I cna't deal with idiots and LA is like ground 0 for them.
I like fashion
I like culture
I like food
I like literature
I like good looking people that are not fat
I like intellectuals
I like champagne
I have season tickets at the met,
LA is also the ugliest city in USA, You can't deny that. And all those pockets of poverty. Its just not a nice place. I don't know how you feel at home. And the bathhouses there suck
LA is rather deficit in many of those things. And to be honest, people are outgoing because they have this delusion that everyone wants to hear them speak. No I know people enjoy my banter so that is different but some people , too many people in LA need a muzzle.
And the drivers. I mean ok in NY, people honk, but you will be at drive thru and this bitch behind you in an SUV, fat as fuck, is honking and you sort of point that there is a car in front. Can't move. she says, it doens't matter. lol
Look i'm not saying everyone. Just alot. alot. |
OK, I'll give you the driving - the moment it rains, you might as well be in a third world country full of blind people with no feet or hands.
On the other stuff though, got to disagree:
ART - The contemporary art IS LA right now - it's blowing up and and had more new galleries open in the last year than London Paris and NY combined. Hauser & Wirth, darlings of the modern art scene in Europe, had to close and downsize their UK operation only to start a new venture in LA.
Fashion - it's just a different thing, yes it's more laidback here but whether you're talking trends (hipsters etc) or high fashion (all the major stylists live here) LA at least holds it's own, if not more, to NY right now. Most of my friends work in fashion, everything from $400 T-shirts to Red carpet evening wear.
Good looking people? You're kidding right? LA vs NY in terms of good looking people? I don't even need to go there.
Food - the whole gastro thing has got huge here in the last two years - from Venice to Burbank, new eateries are popping up everywhere. Fuck, there's a new, more expensive than the last, restaurant opening every other night here. I can't keep track. How many gordon ramsay restaurants are there in NY? How many Wolfgang Puck? How Many mario batalli? All the big name chefs center on LA for cuisine.
I'll concede the intellectuals are not as much in abundance but LA being the center for media and music, they are here, you just have to go to the right parties.
Champagne? In abundance. And wine, oh god, does cali have wine culture. We get all the European stuff as well as all the south american and all the USA, including the cali. So much more than NY.
The met, I'll give you - the Walt Disney hall is nice but can't compete, but if I want that i'll go to the Royal opera in london 
I will also agree that LA is mecca for idiots, especially those who watched too much baywatch or OC and realised it's not quite the same but couldn't admit it.
But everywhere has that - London has a lot of twats (with bad teeth as well) and NY is full of wannabe pseudoitellectuals, and don;t get me started on the women...work shy little socialite mouthy girls desperate to have a job at some magazine or designer without an ounce of talent in their emaciated bodies. Glad you have a GF, because it's slim pickings out there.
I like NY, but have no idea how you can live there amongst the cramped mess, paying thousands in rent for a tiny walkup just so you don't have to live in the boroughs. Yuck. Never again.
