The "Wilfair" books include three things I'm interested in: movies, art, and science.
Broad topics, I know, so let's drill deeper.
The movies element: Fair's film goddess costumes, Monty Overbove's desire to be a filmmaker, and Prior Yates, film star. Art is represented by the museum next door to The Wilfair and the design of the Finley hotels. And science comes in the form of the motel's tar bubble, not to mention our bespectacled aspiring architectural physicist.
This photo encapsulates all three: That's the Variety building in the background -- Variety, of course, is the long-running entertainment publication -- then the Los Angeles County Museum of Art in front of it. And in front of the museum? A tar pits observation pit.
What are three things you like? They don't need to be nearly as broad as film, art, and science.
Three things ringing my bell today are a funny text I got from a pal, cake donuts, and the rotating fan that's keeping me cool during this strange LA heat wave.
