Little Tokyo

My husband and I attempted to get into a "Scott Pilgrim vs. the World" book signing with the author/artist, Bryan Lee O'Malley, at the Giant Robot 2 store in Los Angeles, but there was no guarantee of getting in with what looked like about a 2-hour wait, so I decided to just take pictures of the crowd instead.

Chihuahua!



After our attempt to get into the signing, the Tokyo Japanese Outlet across the street caught my eye and, once inside, I was in kawaii heaven. The store had everything from bento boxes to Hello Kitty chopsticks to paper fans to Japanese cosmetics and more. This is the perfect place to get odd little gifts for your friends.

Happy Sponges!


These plastic gentlemen are judging you harshly...very harshly.


Lucky cats!


Mmm...candy.


I ended up buying the following:

Strawberry Pocky - $2.49


Iwaku erasers - $.50 each


Strawberry-scented ice cream bubbles (pink) - $1.99


Happy fun time!
