It takes all types.
In the mid-1980s, Melrose Boulevard was quickly becoming a Los Angeles hot spot. Was it the spin art or the bondage clothing shops? It wasn't people visiting folks at the old age home, though you'd often see the old folks sitting out on the street watching the parade.
It wasn't easy getting parking for Tommy Tang's fusion Thai restaurant across from the Soap Plant, so we wound up on a side street and pulled in behind a shiny red gremlin. Out step two Melrose Boulevard 1980s types. He wore black leather pants, a black leather vest and a bike chain belt. She wore a black leather bustier with matching boots and miniskirt. The bumper sticker - "Sticks and Stones May Break My Bones, But Whips and Chains Excite Me".
A sign of the times.
