The Bite:
imageAre you, like, clueless when it comes to greening your holiday decorations? Oh m'god: Stop by Rolling Greens Nursery for a wreath made from organic succulents (thick, fleshy plants that barely need watering – think cactus or ice plant) that can last for up to 2 years – an eco-step up from throwaway trimmings. Grab one of its Kissing Balls, long-lasting, organic mistletoe shaped into a nature-inspired disco ball (see photo), and start making out already – it hangs from a Victorian-esque vintage chain that'll even look great next summer. That's more than we can say for inflatable plastic Santas they're selling in, like, the Valley or whatever.
Wanna Try: 
Rolling Greens Nursery, 9528 Jefferson Blvd., Culver City. Map It (310-559-8656). Succulent Kissing Ball, $135/8"; Succulent Wreath, $175/12".

Cocktail Fact

Alicia Silverstone didn't know how to correctly say "Haitians" in Clueless, but the director kept her mispronunciation in the classroom scene of the film for comedy's sake.

Small Changes Add Up

If 10,000 LA Biters buy living holiday decor instead of a PVC Santa, we'll keep the weight of 149 snowmobiles in plastic outta production.

In the hip-hop subculture the homeboy image is important for artists and audiences. The need to appear "hip" and "fresh" with their attitudes, clothing, and jewelry is an important aspect. The inspiration for this homeboy image can be traced to Malcolm X, who also rebelled against a tradition of being perceived as ineffectual.[1] It has been argued that hip-hop has redefined the homeboy by providing him with functions that contradict society's view of him. Manthia Diawara, author of "Homeboy Cosmopolitan", writes, "Hip-hop culture gives aesthetic pleasure through ironic and parodic play with mainstream images of black people"[1]. Diawara argues that hip-hop permits the creation of a new image of black cultures, because it sharply turns against preconceived notions of African-American society and allows for the creation of a new image of black Americans. This image of staying hip is always evolving with new dress styles and sayings. The referenced website gives ten ways to stay hip every week, they change drastically week to week. Thanks for the article.Its Really helpful. muscle building supplements
