Ladies Beach

Famous quotes containing the words ladies and/or beach:

    Fine knacks for ladies, cheap, choice, brave and new,
    Good pennyworths,—but money cannot move:
    I keep a fair but for the Fair to view,—
    A beggar may be liberal of love.
    Though all my wares be trash, the heart is true,
    —Unknown. Fine Knacks for Ladies (l. 7–8)

    If Los Angeles has been called “the capital of crackpots” and “the metropolis of isms,” the native Angeleno can not fairly attribute all of the city’s idiosyncrasies to the newcomer—at least not so long as he consults the crystal ball for guidance in his business dealings and his wife goes shopping downtown in beach pajamas.
    —For the State of California, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
