Pico Deconstructed: The Naked People Store District
By Ryan - Saturday January 27th 2007
As part of the great lead-up to Project Pico (thanks for your feedback — keep it coming), we now present an oft-overlooked section of the Boulevard of Pico Dreams…
The Naked People Store District™ is situated a few short blocks east of Figueroa and the LA Convention Center. The shops in this district offer up all manner of mannequins – male and female alike – in all manner of sizes, shapes, and colors. Need a transparent child holding his arm aloft? Done. Need a complete set of ebony carolers? Done! Offended by the sight of mannequins in their birthday suits? Rest easy, prude: All wares in all shops are thoughtfully and tastefully arranged ass-out to the public at large.
Love or hate something about Pico Blvd? Let us know.
Jane Jacobs would be proud. This is the kind of stuff that cities are supposed to generate.
It’s a good thing you trademarked that district.
Can someone please translate the hangul? Does it say “Korean ladies please stand here”?
I think it says “Pico Equipment”, but don’t quote me on the equipment part.
Aha, I see it says “Equipment” in ginormous letters on the side of the building. If that’s not a confidence builder, I don’t know what is.
