Los Feliz Vintage Mall has Everything Retro and Vintage

Vintage Vortex V is Los Feliz’z center for everything old… and cool (and I don’t just mean some of the people).

The first storefront opened in December, selling vintage clothing, jewelry and everything. Now, with the opening of multiple storefronts, VVV has become a mini-mall of awesome retro styles and gorgeous fashions.

There are vintage furs for sale, lots of clothing and jewelry and even an original Playboy pinball machine. Just last month they opened a record store and recording studio. This will allow musician and vocalists a place to record their own great music.

Vendors display their wares on separate shelves. Much of it comes from private homes, flea markets and anywhere that cool retro items can be found.

The owners are Michi and Kyle. They are a couple and business partners. They are so cool, they don’t need last names (think Cher, Prince and Madonna).

If you have an addiction to everything vintage cool, this is definitely the place to go.   VVV is located at the corner of Sunset and Hollywood (4517-19 Sunset Blvd and 4516 Hollywood Blvd.). They are on the web at http://vintagevortexv.com or Facebook at https:// www.facebook.com/VintageVortexV.

Los Feliz – Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous

Our little town made the news this week... in London!

Mad Men star January Jones (Betty Draper) was photographed by the Daily Mail, one of Britain's largest papers. She was doing something here character on the show would have seen a staple of life:  grocery shopping.

Miss Jones was dressed like any other “Felizian,” jeans, a loose white blouse and sunglasses. She looked beautiful and elegant, but, of course, even a television start doesn't go to the grocery store in a ballgown.

“I wouldn't know how to cope,” she told the Daily Mail, when asked about how she would handle having the life of her alter-ego Betty Draper. 

Jones plays the now exwife of the show's star Don Draper (Jon Hamm) on the AMC hit series. Her character is an almost stereotypical 1960's housewife, dedicated to raising her children and serving her husband. Jones plays the character with more complexity as it is apparent that Betty Draper has more energy than that, but doesn't appear to have a place to put it.

The original article can be found here, with the sunshine-dripping photos of January Jones and her groceries in lovely Los Feliz.  See you in gossip columns.
