A Gothic Kind of Love

 

In honor of Valentine's Day this month, I've been on the lookout for murals and spots around Los Angeles that are love themed. So, when I discovered this mural by Dean Stockton, also known as D*Face, I thought it would be great place to checkout in celebration of Valentine's Day because the characters are kissing. While this mural features two lovers engrossed in a passionate kiss, one can't help but notice that they are a bit gothic looking and maybe even dead! It's a cool and dark spin on pop art, which makes it all the more intriguing. I decided to wear my purple jumpsuit on this particular day. While the jumpsuit is from last year, there are a few almost exact ones that I've linked to below in case you're dying to get your hands on a purple jumpsuit too!

 

In addition to visiting this cool mural, we also went to a retro diner in the area called The Tallyrand. The Tallyrand has been around since 1959 and is a popular place to dine in the Burbank area. I love finding places that take you back to a different time in Los Angeles' past, so this restaurant was right up my alley. We had a great lunch there and overheard some locals talking about a possible suspect in the very dark Black Dahlia murder case. Overhearing the conversation about this infamous murder definitively complemented the dark and gothic vibe of the mural!
