LA New Year's Eve: It's Not Just About the Kardashians
Los Angeles, the city of dreams, sunshine, and suspiciously tanned people, has a rather unique way of ringing in the new year. While the rest of the world is busy freezing their butts off and counting down the seconds to midnight, LA is busy... well, being LA.
No Ball Drop, Just Ballin'
Unlike New York City's iconic ball drop, LA doesn't have a giant, sparkly orb descending from the sky. Instead, we have celebrities descending from their mansions, probably wearing something that would make a peacock blush. But hey, who needs a ball when you've got the Hollywood sign, right?
Party Like a Rockstar (or a Celebrity Wannabe)
LA’s New Year's Eve scene is a dazzling mix of glitz, glamour, and people who look like they've stepped out of a music video. From rooftop parties with panoramic views of the city to exclusive nightclub bashes, there’s something for everyone (who can afford it). Just remember, if you see someone wearing sunglasses indoors, they're probably more famous than you.
Beach Bonfires and Chill Vibes
For those who prefer a more laid-back approach, LA’s beaches offer a perfect escape. Imagine cozying up by a bonfire with friends, the sound of waves crashing in the background, and the promise of a new year filled with sunshine and vitamin D. It’s basically therapy with a side of fireworks.
A New Year's Resolution to Move to LA?
If you're still reading this, you might be considering moving to LA. And honestly, who can blame you? But before you pack your bags, remember: the weather is amazing, the people are interesting (to say the least), and the traffic is a whole other level of crazy. But hey, you can't have it all, right?
How to...
- How to survive LA traffic on New Year’s Eve? Plan ahead, use public transport (if you can figure it out), or just accept your fate and enjoy the ride.
- How to spot a celebrity? Look for sunglasses indoors, excessive amounts of fake tan, and a general air of superiority.
- How to dress for an LA New Year’s Eve party? Something sparkly, something short, and something that will make you look like you just stepped off a yacht.
- How to make the most of an LA New Year’s Eve? Embrace the glitz, the glamour, and the general absurdity of it all.
- How to recover from an LA New Year’s Eve? Avocado toast, plenty of water, and a serious Netflix binge.
