When it comes to mixing vintage and contemporary pieces, I'm guided by these three rules:
1. Never let one era dominate. The tension between them is the whole point.
2. Vary scale, vary material. That friction is what gives a room its energy.
3. Trust the pieces to speak to each other. They want to.
10 months pregnant in LA, out for a “relaxing” walk with my 2-year-old… and we get trapped by two Zombies.
My heart is pounding, fight-or-flight in full blast is the LAST thing my body needs right before labor. All I can think about is protecting my kids while the city falls apart around us.
@MayorOfLA@nithyavraman
I voted for you. I defended you. But you’ve lost my trust.
Enough. I’m done watching my community live in fear.
I’m taking a chance on @spencerpratt - someone who’ll actually demand transparency, accountability, and results.
My kids won’t grow up in this hellhole. Time for real change.

Apparently, this was shot in 3hrs. 2:30hrs just driving to locations. Written the night before, improv’d half the lines. No consultants. No crew. He outdid the entire political elite, his first try. You are ALL underestimating just how talented & smart Spencer is. Fair warning.
NEW: Los Angeles mayoral candidate Spencer Pratt absolutly rips Mayor Karen Bass for allowing homeless people to conduct "Nazi-like" experiments on animals.
Homeless people are reportedly feeding dogs drugs to test for fentanyl as well as setting them on fire.
"We have dogs to save. In downtown LA Karen Basura (trash) and Nithya Raman have facilitated the [abuse]..." Pratt said.
"Let's rally to save our pets from the zombies."

Another broken call out: Hollywood Boulevard and our collective apathy which allowed our city's most important economic asset to deteriorate.
No amount of string lights or painted utility boxes will fix what is, at its core, a fundamental structural failure. We designed the Boulevard for one user - the tourist: someone who drops in, snaps a selfie, buys a magnet, and leaves with no stake in what happens here. The result is predictable: disorderly behavior and crime grow, people who live nearby get in their cars and drive somewhere else to buy a coffee.
The Oscars left. Stasher ranked Hollywood the worst tourist destination in the world. Los Angelenos ignore the neighborhood.
In my new op‑ed for The Hollywood Reporter, I lay out a different vision: curating Hollywood Boulevard into a Creative Economy Innovation Corridor that keeps our brand strong, keeps residents invested in their own neighborhood, and inspires our city's tourists.

Quality of life in Los Angeles is at its lowest level in 11 years according to a new survey. People & businesses are leaving to places like Austin & Nashville where life feels more affordable, safer, and cleaner. How do we stop this? We stop electing people based off ideology. Elect people based on competency and with a proven track record.
Spencer Pratt won't stop talking about the EMPTY Palisades reservoir until it's filled back up.
It's been EMPTY since BEFORE the LA fires.
It's 6 million gallons.
Karen Bass said it wouldn't have made a difference.
