Please Love Me
Hello Metblogs Community,
I’m thrilled to join the madcap Los Angeles Metblogs team and hope you will relate to whatever it is I decide to contribute each week. My posts will likely be about shopping around Los Angeles, things chicks might like, innocent gossip and tips on the best bars to pick up the dudes (please let me know if you have any leads). Maybe I’ll even drop some names of people you don’t know and drop some mad cash in your store – so look out! I’m a coming!

On the personal side, I moved to Los Angeles from Atlanta in 2003 where I received a B.A. in Communications from Oglethorpe University. I’m left handed, have a motorcycle license and enjoy vintage clothes, good scotch and bad poker players sitting on the other side of the table.
Thanks for having me. If you want to keep up with the mundane goings on in my life, I invite you to follow me on twitter.
Love,
MissRFTC

Yay!
P.S. Someone forgot to add "OBGYN" tag to go along with "Announcements, Community, Earthquakes"
"Mundane"–that’s a good one!
If you miss the ATL, here’s some "musts"
The Chic-Fil-A in the South Bay Galleria is owned by a UGA alum, & they serve sweet. Speaking of sweet tea, they actually have a friggin Po Folks restaurant down in Buena Park. And there is good BBQ here, but you have to search for it- try Zeke’s on Santa Monica.

The Fox = The Shrine
Gridlock Traffic = Gridlock Traffic

World of Coke = Grauman’s Chinese Theater
Georgia Aquarium = Venice Beach
Stone Mountain = Santa Monica Beack & Pier
Thanks, Ronin! I miss the fried green tomatoes at Po Folks. I may have to make a special trip down there!
Right on! Welcome, MissRFTC. Glad to see you here, too. Looking forward to hearing which bars the dudes get picked up in, because I am totally gonna hang out there. To get picked up. I’m not picking up dudes. Not that there’s anything wrong with that…
Lefties rule!
Yes, JC. We do! Thanks for the comment.
You > public posts > more than 140 characteres. Read it, I will.
John Pemble, all the way from Iowa! I hope you come out to visit our fair city soon.
Grats! Looking forward to your posts!
I am so stoked. :)
Thanks, Eric. I will be counting on you to accompany me to various LA hot and cold spots for the blog. And special thanks to @lucindamichele for encouraging me to stretch beyond my comfortable bits.
I just realized that "Ronin" is not a person. I meant, "Thanks, fittentrim!"
Welcome to the short bus of blogging.
welcome to the sandbox, my we have a lot of great new faces on board.
Can I ask you a question? I’m gonna take that as a yes. I need a mid century dress for a mid century wedding in Palm Springs in 2 weeks. Could you point me in any direction??
Thanks,
Elise
Oh yeah and my husband could use a shark skin suit.
Thanks again,
E
Welcome to you and your fans.
Welcome missRFTC. It’s always nice to bring your own entourage. Welcome.
Yay vintage clothes!
Welcome to our corner of the ‘net.
Welcome aboard!
Elise, Wow, 2 weeks is so fast! Having never walked down the aisle, I’m a bit unschooled when it comes to vintage wedding wear. However, I might suggest contacting a few local vintage shops and asking them for leads. If you had more time, I’d suggest thefrock.com or other sites specializing in vintage wedding wear, but then you’d need time for alterations and such. For your fiance’, there is a high quality shop specializing in vintage mens’ clothing on Hollywood Blvd across from Cobras & Matadors called Jake Vintage. Good luck to you!
Thanks. I’m actually a guest. So I just need some sort of garden dress, since it’s a morning wedding I’m thinking. I will definitely check the hollywood blvd place for the old man.
Thanks again,
Elise
PS…lefties rule…am totally useless if you want it right handed outta me.
I am with Lucinda (I am so stoked) Michele. So stoked.
