PHOTOGRAPHER/CREATIVE DIRECTOR
A Midwesterner the moment he was born, Thomas Drotar couldn’t wait to leave. So, at 17 he joined the Marines and this is where he thinks his story begins. Always curious he went on to college on the GI Bill and studied Art History and Literature and graduated from the University of Michigan with no prospects and no job. He headed west and landed in San Francisco and started selling furniture to avoid starvation. He sold a lot of it and discovered he was really good at selling things and in doing so could make a lot of money. After a couple years he grew restless, quit and decided to circumnavigate the globe instead. He spent a year on the road exploring some of the most remote places imaginable.
Upon his return to the States Tom returned to San Francisco and started selling fur coats at the iconic I. Magnin store on Union Square. It was here he learned how to sell couture by his mentor Jessie Skates. It was about this time Tom discovered what he wanted to do, write screenplays. So during the day he sold on the sales floor and at night he went home and wrote. He wrote a promising story about a high-end grifter fur salesman who duped the social elite out of their jewelry. He submitted the screenplay and it started attracting lots of attention. So he moved to Los Angeles. While starving and waiting to make it as a writer Tom was offered a job working on a film set in the Art Department. It was a good paying gig and there was a lot of creativity involved. With his background in furniture and couture it wasn’t long before he moved up the food chain. He returned to school to learn illustration and design at UCLA and Art Center to improve his skills. Opportunities soon occurred because of his dedication and incredible work ethic. He became a Production Designer and for the next 25 years did nothing but. In the meantime, Tom taught himself software, tons of it. In fact you’re viewing some of it right now. Always the camera bug Tom started shooting events with Merle and decided it was time to create something unique.
So the next chapter still remains to be written as we try to get our DIGITAL MAGAZINE project off the ground. I have always understood the potential of things, be it a product, presentation or a service. That is what has kept me in the running for as long as I have. What we are presenting to you with our approach I believe will be an invaluable asset to any business trying to expand their base of viewers in a way that delights and informs. Merle and I thank you for taking the time to consider our presentations and stand unequivocally behind them.
Feel free to reach out with any questions. We are here to help.

The fourth annual Frieze Los Angeles blew into town - more specifically, Santa Monica`s Barker Hangar - on Thursday Feb 29, housing eclectic art work from over 95 international galleries. Born in London in 2003 out of the 1993 British art magazine of the same name, Frieze LA opened on the Paramount Lot in 1999, instantly becoming the cultural/social event of the season. Thursday night`s excitement had local culture collectors whipped up into an anything-but-chill frenzy, extending their costumes - a word I use to describe these sartorial choices because aesthetics aren`t just an outside job: they start in your gut and work their way out. We spotted lots of walking works of art at Frieze - heating up the big tent into a kind of cultural circus.
To view who was wearing what and relevant backstory about this event please visit our website https://lamoodboard.com and read fashion writer extraordinaire Merle Ginsberg’s ongoing column, “Merle’s Closet.” We ask you to follow us here on Instagram at #icandyla and regularly visit us at https://LAmoodboard.com to get an overview of the latest fashion and cultural trends happening in Los Angeles. Capturing its myriad essence is our goal.

Bella Bella Bella! An awards season fete for the video release of “Poor Things” at the Wilshire Ebell showed off the film’s fantasy Victorian goth in an atmosphere bedecked with ‘baby Bellas’: small pale models in long black wigs, puffed sleeves, ruffle tops, wide shorts, boots (a la Emma Stone), dancing against a background of Holly Waddington’s award winning costumes on mannequins. Selfie stylistas in this Insta-influenced crowd created their own wildly inventive would-be Bella’s.

THIS PAST SATURDAY: It’s hard to believe I was a Pickwick Vintage virgin till recently. Busting my Pickwick cherry, I’m already an addict. The big baby of Big Daddy vintage king Richard Wainwright is no longer just the domain of thrifters antiquarians or 90’s obsessed kids. I found rare delights from Chanel, Gucci, Ferragamo, McQueen, Celine: bags, glasses, dresses, sweater, etc, goods – all pristine, all priced far lower than expected. Sure, Crossroads has deals – Out of the Closet has steals – but Pickwick is a true vintage lover’s dream, with better goods and better prices for them than I’ve seen anywhere else. I’m going back for jewelry, evening bags, 70’s dresses, patchwork leather jackets -

The big baby of Big Daddy vintage king Richard Wainwright is no longer just the domain of thrifters antiquarians or 90’s obsessed kids. I found rare delights from Chanel, Gucci, Ferragamo, McQueen, Celine: bags, glasses, dresses, sweater, etc, goods – all pristine, all priced far lower than expected. Sure, Crossroads has deals – Out of the Closet has steals – but Pickwick is a true vintage lover’s dream, with better goods and better prices for them than I’ve seen anywhere else. I’m going back for jewelry, evening bags, 70’s dresses, patchwork leather jackets -

SIGNAL TO NOISE 13 January 2024
Art and fashion: they`ve been intertwined so long, it`s hard to tell which influences what. Must art live only on walls - or can it enliven bodies? At Diane Rosenstein Gallery`s "Signal to Noise" show, colorful work by 22 artists, curated by writer Michael Slenske, play on abstraction as described by painter Wassily Kandinsky`s as "synesthesia": the subjective sensation of an image. The crowd`s sartorial art was equally subjective: Self-as-Art is an art form, too.

What constitutes a best dressed list?
Depends on the outlet, of course.
ICandyLA`s criteria, defined by our panel of experts - or expert, I should say - comes down to this:
- PERSONAL STYLE: How unique is someone`s look? How much does it relay about them? Fashion, in our view, should communicate personal visual messages. It`s one of the ways in a big sprawling city to find, identify, your tribe.
- WHAT SUITS AN INDIVIDUAL PHYSICALLY?: We all tend to make clothing choices based on our bodies, ages, features, coloring, our histories - our financials, of course - our determined color schemes. It doesn`t have to flattering, per se - although that factors. It just needs to be - cohesive. A picture, a full story - all these things reflect personal choices.
- IT`S GOT TO BE INTERESTING IN AND OF ITSELF: Outside of how it suits you, what it says about you - does it stand out? Cookie cutter looks are about hiding - which is fine. But having style nerve - fashion balls! - grabs out attention. It makes the world, the city, a much more interesting place. Let`s face it: people watching is a very popular sport.

More photos from LUNA LUNA in downtown Los Angeles. An extremely visual experience of this once German arty Amusement Park now reassembled in a warehouse. It is worth the drive out to Boyle Heights to experience its beauty. @lunaluna
