If different parts of LA represented the stages of a woman's life, West Hollywood would be the slutty teenage years, Venice Beach would be college when she tries out dreads and kissing her Women's Studies classmate and Silver Lake is graduating undergrad and working for a couple years at a non-profit.
But, way out West, after she's traversed all that other terrain, a woman will find Santa Monica. Santa Monica is the time in a woman's life when she says fuck it, quits the non-profit, marries a producer, only eats avocado and goat cheese salads and drives the kids to private school in a Lexus. It's the sellout locale, which is why it sucks. But, that's also why it's the best place to be pregnant. The whole place feels like pregnancy: warm, sterile and expensive.
Good choice, Bridget.

pregNant!
Santa Monica is a sellout locale?
As a graduate of UC Santa Barbara, I really appreciate this.
For the record, I'd say Santa Barbara is the sorority girl phase - really, really pretty on the outside, but in a vaguely manufactured way, and not a lot of substance underneath.
Wow! Cord, you totally nailed it! Right on!
"…she says fuck it, quits the non-profit, marries a producer, only eats avocado and goat cheese salads and drives the kids to private school in a Lexus." HA! I almost crapped my pants!
Ummm…isn't all of California pretty lame?
Pregnancy is warm, sterile and expensive? That sounds like a laboratory.
Your adjectives come in threes a lot.
ex: "not only is it X, but it's also X and X."
Mr. Peppers,
My my, you are observant.
BTW I like being pregnant in New York 'cause all the crazy peeps give up the good seats on the subway while talking gobble gook about their cats and it's really awe inspiring to see knocked up homeless ladies. Thank God I don't live in Santa Monica, I might feel guilty there if I didn't go to prenatal yoga 4 x a week.
You are RIGHT ON, Cord! Yes, Santa Monica is the land of vacuous women! And, Be Adequite, actually, NO! Not all of CA is LAME–you would know if you lived in the state :)
whoa. this broad looks gross. can't believe guy-o had sex with her?!
Cord, never has LA been summed up so brilliantly. HAHAHAHAHAHAAHA
Um, pregnancy is NOT sterile. It's actually the opposite of the word!
Be Adequite! says:

HEY! And I thought we were getting along so well.
:-) Sorry Kitchy…but my boyfriend's from there…does that count???
Us PNW people have issues with CA people/transplants…something I must work on!
And hey, where HAVE you been the last couple weeks? Do you have a job or something? Good to have you back-
I'm a transplant anyway. Although after twelve years is it still considered transplanting?
Nah…I'm a transplant to NW but I feel like I've always
belonged ;-)
If you think that CA is lame, you must have only been to SoCal…The rest of us are pretty sane and balanced.
Again… HEY!
Bravo, Brandi. Well said!! No CA is the BEST!!! We still have some undeveloped coastal areas up here…unlike SO CA beaches–developed to the max–UGH!
You are crazy chazz michael micheals. She looks adorable. She is a beautiful woman. Just because she has no make up on doesn't mean she is gross. Just look up her pictures on the web and you will see how pretty she is. Besides, what kind of idiot makes a comment like that about a pregnant woman. You should be shot.
Whoa, Ali! Shot? That's pretty intense! You must be from New York (since we're drawing huge assumptions/misconceptions about cities here…)
And you guys! SoCal totally rocks and you know it. You're just jealous (and don't pretend you're not).
See? Sexyback knows how it is.
Warm and expensive (and getting more so) - check…sterile, not so much.
no really, she looks like dogshit. i'm sure had these looks pre-knock up. a fetus won't turn adorable to homely. obvs.
