You know you’re in Los Angeles when the hotel has a vending machine selling board shorts!

I’m staying at The Standard Hotel on sunset Boulevard, Hollywood. There are so many cool things about this palce, I wouldn’t know where to start. I can show you these images, I suppose. I guess, in a way, you could say that a picture is worth a hundred words?

Hmm….ja, that sounds good. Or maybe I should make it a THOUSAND words?

Yes, that’s what I’ll do. I think I’ll claim that one – “a picture is worth a thousand words”

Use it. Don’t use it.

The pool at The Standard – hot

The Diner – pretty cool..

The general vibe in the lobby

I can also tell you that there is a glass box behind the reception desk, at about eye level – with a model lying inside it – just looking beautiful and playing on her laptop. All the time. They change them everyday. I’ll try get a pic for you.

In the meantime, check this out – they’re launching a new thing. It’s a boardshorts vending machine – a collaboration between Quicksilver and The Standard Hotel group.

Nice. I like that.

Why didn’t you think of that?
