To celebrate the glorious spring weather, the precipitous drop in local COVID-19 infections and my own first Pfizer dose, I recently masked up and went shopping in the high-fashion heart of Beverly Hills. Here is what I bought:
A springform cake pan, an automobile fire extinguisher, a potato masher, half a dozen spring clamps, a dish soap-shaped container of hand sanitizer (because it is hilarious), two travel sewing kits, a waterproof notepad and two packs of cocktail parasols.
Not exactly the kind of shopping haul most people associate with Beverly Hills. I skipped Tod’s, Chanel and even Saks and headed instead to Pioneer Hardware, one of the oldest and, alas, most endangered establishments in L.A.’s famous staging ground for A-list fashion.
