Having lived in Los Angeles for nearly seventy years, the answer depends on where in Los Angeles you live and where you work. If you live and work in the cold, damp, and fog near the sea (where I have always lived) there are some days you will be happy that you are wearing flannel (or heavy tweed and/or an overcoat).

Xactly.

Attended an insanely opulent wedding this weekend. My son was a page boy and his bespoke silk outfit was made in England, barring the monogrammed velvet slippers, which were made in Italy. Fortunately it was paid for by the bride's parents.

He looks pretty relaxed to me.
@Academic2

Really? I'm aware of the robopose, but his shoulders look scalloped more than commonly seen.

In the last one, he has a stooped/pitched forward head, but his shoulders look very relaxed.

SeaJen, great shoes. What company made them? Your wife has a lovely dress on. Dunno what it is about lace but it always looks good on gals.

Your son looks more like your wife, which is probably a good thing

SeaJen, Nice! One comment: I would have thought that a wedding with that sort of budget and detail (e.g. the silk outfit for your son) would have required morning coat & striped trousers and not just suit and tie... was it a relative of yours?

As there seems to be some confusion about the climate in coastal Southern California, here are some pictures that might help those who live elsewhere and have only seen these beaches on television or in films and who don't know that the actors actresses are kept in warming tents and wrapped in electric blankets between scenes that are filmed by crews who are dressed like Nanook Of The North.

The view looking north from Manhattan Beach Pier (which you cannot jump from).



The beach at Playa Del Rey looking north.



Venice Beach and the Venice Pier in the distance.



My friend on the beach south of Santa Monica Pier.



Santa Monica Beach north of the Santa Monica Pier in a view from Palisades Park.



These pictures were all taken in June or July. Nobody is at the beach because it is cold and the water is even colder. California is not Florida.

Someone needs to arrange an LA meet up so that people can accurately gauge the awesomeness of Roycru

Thank god.

Being a California native, and having lived for several years in Florida, I must say that for my money Florida has a slight edge. Both states are filled with ignorant people however Florida can at least boast that that dubious trait is not coupled with an indulgent sense of arrogance. Something that California, alas, cannot claim.
