Panoramic of #DTLA Fashion District on "Market Week" this January 15th 2018 Vol. 14

Welcome to Monday. This will be my first panoramic shot of downtown Los Angeles fashion district for the new year 2018. My previous entry to this series was exactly one month ago on December 15th.

Today is the start of "Market Week" for the Fashion District here in downtown Los Angeles. Show rooms fill and buyers come from all around the world to look at the latest fashion designs from Los Angeles manufactures. Parking prices double. Coffee prices are already double. Park down the street a few blocks to minimize costs during these busy days. Take a look on your Google Maps and search for Public parking. These public parking facilities allow drivers to use credit cards. Save your cash for tacos!

That first panoramic shot up there was taken at 12:19pm. This second shot was taken at 4:25pm. It looks like a totally different day, but it's not. Clouds came in and now it's looking "overcast" as they say.

The last Friday of every month is "Sample Week." The week where all the show rooms and manufacturers sell off the samples they created for buyers to look at and to consider purchasing. It's an easy way to get some unique fashion items at a very inexpensive price.

IMO:

If you live in one of those countries where fashion is important to establish a superficial attachment to your status in society, you should come here to get some really good deals on the clothing brands made from the sweat shops in both our countries.

School kids chastise each other at young ages to establish dominance via the social constraints of fashion. Sad but true, what you gonna do? I guess, in the bigger picture, we all must do our best to minimize our superficial illusions and allegiances. Let's all pick our favorites, right? What's the depth of your illusion? It's up to you. Chastising my illusions and chastising your illusions is probably something none of us are qualified to do. Once again we are reminded that everybody's shit stinks.

Thanks for reading and supporting. Let's have fun and make money here on Steemit! Isn't that what it's designed for?
