20 inch Rims On My Honda Civic

L.A. = Land of Accessories.

Everything out here is customizable. Cars, hair, clothes, rims, dogs, dog's clothes, you name it.

In truth, all these things are customizable everywhere else as well, but it seems that only LA has realized the full potential of self-expression through accessories. Knee-high socks say that you are a skateboarder, crazy hair and tight clothes mean that you are a hipster, 20" rims mean that you are a bad-ass, and accessorizing your hand with another guys hand while walking down the street means you're gay... I think.

It's not an exact science, and I'm still trying to piece it all together. If you think that I'm joking about the gay guys holding hands, you should have been there a couple nights ago when Andy, Alex (Taylor's boyfriend) and I were walking back from a restaurant. Four guys came out of the shadows holding hands in a row with, what seemed like, full intention to clothesline all three of us with the power of the WWF superstar tandem - The Rainbow Four. I wasn't sure whether to call 'red rover', or drop the People's Elbow, so we ended up scattering o avoid a Jets-Sharks type altercation.

But don't worry mom, I'm safe. What I haven't figured out yet, is why they get those tiny little white Yorkie terriers buckled into tiny little camo vests. Graham, if you are reading this, you are either white-knuckled with anger, or laughing hysterically. Either way, take a deep breath and try to assuage the immediate urge to drop-kick something.
