Smilin' Jack, the Union Oil jack-o’-lantern in the Wilmington neighborhood of Los Angeles, 1952. While painting the 3.3-million gallon tank, workers noticed the lead-based orange primer they used had a very pumpkin-like hue. So they followed through on the Halloween vibe, and a paint job became a local tradition.

Thank you, everyone here asking if me and my sister are okay🙏 the fire is still going, and where it is affected the most, the ash is so THICK that it looks like snow. This is reported to be the top 4 of the worst fires L.A. has ever faced.

Life can change so fast. Please take care.

As promised, it's My Peak Challenge photoshoot day in L.A., guys! I'll be getting info from my source later today, so stay tuned!

Refresher for anyone who missed my original post on the info I posted a few days ago. And an update below. Check it out. 👇

So, my source let me know today that there are around 15 MPC members participating, it's an all day photoshoot in Los Angeles, she doesn't know the location(s) yet, and all cell phones were taken until the end of the photoshoot. Waiting to find out if Sam Heughan will be there. But, as many of you have noted, he was posting online last night NOT on UK time anymore. Some speculate he could be back in New York for interviews, but since there is this MPC photoshoot confirmed today, many think he's in L.A. for it. Since I have this insider source, we will know FOR SURE later today.

Stay tuned...

PS. It's going to be a perfect L.A. Fall day in the high 70's today with lots of sunshine. Rain expected on Wednesday though. Sign that Sam is here? He always brings the Scottish rain hahaha.

Anyhoo, excited about today! ❤️

Day Twenty-four: Best Picture Taken From a Concert

30 Day Band Challenge

It is not the best picture from any concert. And it's probably not the best picture from any GNR show either. But I love this picture because it was taken at the L.A. Street Scene Festival - in the city where this band came together. You can see every member in the shot, as well as the huge audience surrounded by buildings. You're seeing what they saw that night - you're on the stage with them in this photo. I particularly love the very bright, almost blinding light at the top of the picture. It just seems so appropriate. Like, these guys are going to be huge. These guys are going to be huge stars. Look at them. Watch this. Like a foreshadowing of what's to come. Rock and roll history. (I also love seeing all the big hair and the guy's outfits. If you didn't know where this photo was taken, you would definitely catch the time period.)
