Anyone who has ever hung around the more posh portions of the San Fernando Valley or Los Angeles in general knows of the living Barbie doll who calls herself Angelyne [1]. And with a pink C6 and a condo to match, how can you not love her?
But Curbed Los Angeles [1] summed-up Angelyne and her strange facade when they described her almost all-pink habitat in a few choice words, “She’s sacrificed her life to embodying everybody’s worst and weirdest ideas about Los Angeles, and she just keeps on giving to the cause.”
But there is a certain sex appeal–strange but true–that follows Angelyne and her Barbie-shaped shadow, and the pink C6 ‘Vette that has become part of her unorthodox image is just as much a part of who she is in LA as the Mattel-like accessories that follow. [4]
In our featured video, poor Angelyne – the “Barbie” of LA – is stalked by Paparazzi as she loads some of these “accessories” into the bright pink hatch of her fantasy ‘Vette, a bitchin’ car but one that has become associated with what is without a doubt one of the strangest faces in our fair, West Coast city.
Watch Angelyne as she desperately hides behind a Hello Kitty purse, trying to pay off the parking meter and once again become part of the plastic facade we all know as the City of Angels. Let’s face it: some people use their rides to create an extension of themselves, a goal in which Angelyne has definitely been successful.
It’s sad that the Paparazzi has made such a massive industry out of stalking people here on the West Coast, but again let’s face it: Isn’t that really what Los Angeles, California is all about? Hell yeah!
