Aviva found a store called Necromance in the Not For Tourists guide for LA; their claim to fame is selling taxidermy specimens, skulls, bones, x-rays, old medical instruments, and other things that are way off the wall.<\/p>\n

So, we headed out to West Hollywood and went to Necromance. They have two storefronts that are five doors apart on Melrose. The storefront below is relatively tame – they have x-rays of broken bones, old medical instruments (did you want to get a metal speculum, they have a few, different shapes and sizes?), tee shirts and odds and ends.<\/p>\n

The other storefront is much stranger. They have a stuffed fox and stuffed squirrel in the window. Inside it wreaks of moth balls. There are stuff heads on the walls and a whole stuffed Bambi in the middle of the floor. They have skulls from various animals of various sizes. Lots of cool shells. X-rays of animals. Aviva bought some shells and leaf skeletons; I bought a skunk’s skull (yes, a real, bio-stuff-boiled-off skull). What am I going to do with it? I don’t know, but is so cool to look at (and isn’t doing the skunk any good anymore).<\/div>\n

We drove to Arundel Books, a used bookstore on Beverly. I bought a book on the making of the movie Psycho, Alfred Hitchcock and the Making of Psycho<\/a>, and Aviva got a book on Andrea Palladio<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Saw a cool poster on the wall near Arundel:<\/p>\n

We drove around a bit more, stopped at an Ulta store so Aviva could get hair care products.\u00c2\u00a0 While walking the dog around there, I saw this sign painted onto the sidewalk at an intersection:<\/p>\n

We went back to Woodland Hills for Chinese food from Yang Chow and home.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
