"I am used to dressing nicely in Orange County - you have to in high end joints, but here it brings on a new meaning. Most men are wearing sport coats with slacks (not jeans) and 90% of the women look like they just sprang from a Vogue spread. My little Kayla ALWAYS dresses to the hilt when leaving the house, even in Red Lodge, MT, where the reaction she gets from the average person is just plain comical." Motion

Motion you just kind of rub me the wrong way. It seems like your dazzled by all the bright lights that Balboa, New Port and Laguna Niguel shine in your eyes. Your a small town kid and it seems to have gone to your head.

I grew up in S CA, and I'm not impressed by OC. When I was a kid I was better dressed than 100% of the people on this Board, I had a Rolls Royce. My attitude is big fking deal. I would rather have my F150.

I'm not impressed with people who have multi-million $$$ homes, have 2 new MBs in the garage and have a sofa and TV for furniture in their house. I know you have seen that Motion.

I had a friend that opened an Art Gallery on Balboa Island. They featured REAL ART by a variety of CA and East Coast Artists in the $2500 to $20,000 range (Emil Kosa Jr). Stuff that has appreciated nicely. He went out of business, because they couldn't compete with the so-called Art Gallery that was featuring Signed Lithos as real art...like Thomas Kincaid or even Evynd Earles.

OC is a vasst intellectual wasteland populated by yuppies who are more concerned with keeping up appearences than substance. You might say its a HOLLOW CULTURE...in other words its FAKE.
