Tuesday, August 5, 2008 – Red Lips

A billboard on the Sunset Strip, for fruit-flavored vodka –

On the other side of Sunset, more red lips, having something to do with a new HBO show about vampires –

Visual relief – under the lips, Sofa Entertainment, 9121 Sunset Boulevard – "The ultimate source for classic TV and entertainment" – like the Ed Sullivan Show –

How advertizing used to be – Callier-Scollard Violins, 1438 Wilcox Avenue at Sunset – and they left for Pasadena thirty-five years ago –

If you wish to use any of these photos for commercial purposes I assume you'll discuss that with me. And should you choose to download any of these images and use them invoking the "fair use" provisions of the Copyright Act of 1976, please provide credit, and, on the web, a link back this site.
