Rushmore, one of our very fave all-time movies is playing at the Devils Night Drive-In at 240 W.4th St in downtown LA (90013). It's on the 2nd floor of a parking garage - so LA.
This is a real drive-in, with a low range FM transmitter for audio, and food from the Devil's Night Car Hops!
Great prices, and awesome to have in LA! |

Lucky us! After months of waiting, we finally got a few days down here at the beach to call summertime. Too bad that some of you are already back in school and the rest of you are heading that way fast.
Sort of strange that the first sale of the day was a school planner and that a few of you are getting to borrow Mom's credit card for the Brat to pick up a few tops, totes, socks, and more practical items to head back to school.
The good news is you get to start the year fresh with a few new things for the wardrobe. And if you want, you can change your whole look and be a whole "new" person after returning from summer break. It's pretty easy to do with a few basic items.
It may be warm during the day, but by around 5 PM it cools off a lot, that must be why our super cool, side zip, small pocket front fleece jacket is doing so well. We just keep selling them and Brats just keep loving them.
And why? One of the gals who bought one had just been to Santa Monica Place, and said she found one in leather just like it for over $300!!! Since she is vegetarian, really didn't want to spend that kind of money, but wants to look great, she remembered Brat. For only $28, she got the same look, no animals were harmed and she had plenty of money left to get one of our razor backed stretchy ruffled tops.
She got her jacket in black and her bratty friend said she loved it soooo much she got one in slate grey. And get this, I think there’s a good chance they’ll be out on the town wearing them at the same time. Now that's real Brattitiude!
And here's some great news for those of you who love purple as much as me- we just got the jacket in today in purple too. Now we have 3 color ways to choose from!
I know this is kind of early for some of you, but for those of you heading to the East for school this winter, Brat already has brightly colored patterned fingerless gloves in as well as hats, scarves, and other fun stuff. This is the same stuff that we’re always out of when you come by at the last minute!
And our full length rust colored jacket is yet another one making a big splash for Fall. It's a super color to wear with denim or anything else and is just a real treat to match up with all the other new Fall colors. |

Brat is always a great place for a transformation no matter where you are going.. like many a Brat who are heading to Burning Man this weekend. Here's a small sampling of what’s been popular with Brats on their way to utopia: Colored tutus. We have the short soft ones in red, white, white with pink, pink, and black. We also have polka dot ones, and the stiffer organza ones too.
One of my fave Brats got several the other day for burning Man, and some of our ruffled panties to wear with them too. But here's where a Brat is just a barrel of surprises: she tried on the youth size Wonder woman tee and then in a flash of inspiration got bright yellow ruffled panties to go with it!
It was darling and very unique. She also scored fishnet gloves and fishnets. In the end, she was all set to for Burning Man and felt she had enough fabulous accoutrements to last for the week she’ll be there.
We have also had lots of visits from people picking up finger lights and white gloves for personal performance light shows.
Looking good is very important even at burning man (good being very relative out there!), but don't forget for you first timers, that it is the desert, and the sun is blazing hot. Brat has some super wide brim sun hats that not only have 50+ sun protection and are big enough to cover the head, neck, and shoulders.
And if you are running around all over the place and want to take it off at nightfall, no problem, the whole thing will roll up, and you can stash it in a pocket. And when you want to use it the next day, its shape will come right back.
Brat also has a variety of very cool sunglasses at very reasonable prices as well as hats for Brat boys.
Leave practicality at home- from what we’ve seen, this desert event checks that at the door.
We have sold many a plush animal hat for the event. choose from polar bears, wolves, tigers, (white and trad.) white rabbits, sheep, rams, and a few brightly colored pink and blue that are let's say mythical origin. Pure fun, and easy to pick you out in a crowd. |

On the subject of unique, I urge all of you to go see The Radiant Child at the Nuart, the documentary on artist Jean-Michel Basquiat. It's pure inspiration..... then go out and create!!!! Let's turn this recession into a new art revolution!!!!
With funding from almost everywhere going away, it's time to use what we have and let the system know we don't need their money to exist. Find something and transform it.
Another of my all time fave films is happening right downtown Saturday at the Devil's Night Drive In. If you have never seen Rushmore, you MUST GO!!! and if you have already seen it, then you know just what a powerful force this film is, and go see it again...and again.... and again....
Before I close, I want to let all of you Brats know that there are lots of great things on our SALE table for ONLY $10. And new stuff is landing there daily. All of our tanks are now $8 each or 3 for $20. Bring two friends with you if you only need one. We also have some really cute paisley print cotton minis for only $10. In two colors they look really hot with the tanks.
Come check out all of our new String Dolls. If you already have one, you really should get another to keep him company.
Just in: some new shipments of crazy Dr. Seuss baby onesies etc. for baby Brat boys or girls. Super striped long sleeve "Green Eggs and Ham" creeper with built in feet. Really wish I could wear this one. Oh, well! Great for baby showers or dress ups for your stuffed animals.
Lots to choose from. Sizes 0-3 to 6-9 months. By the way, even if heaven forbid, you do not know the Dr.Seuss characters, you will still fall in love with these.
In closing, I want to send a big birthday shout out to one of my fave Brats, Angie, who will be celebrating her big day on Thursday with her hubby Joey Pinter, to the tunes of the Neurotics and the Crazy Squeeze at the 3 Clubs in Hollywood on Thursday. BE THERE !!!!
A belated Happy birthday to Reverend Dan who celebrated his half decade birthday last week. Who ever said getting older didn't mean getting cooler? Thanks for all the awesome radio Dan. We love ya!!!
Lots going on this weekend. Go out and have a great time. Hope to see you at the BRAT soon.
xoxox

PS Lots and lots of new stuff coming every day now. I am so excited!
