New York plastic surgery is an art, it's nothing like LA where you can't walk down the street without getting fake "assets" shoved in your face. I feel like this is true across the board when comparing LA and New York:
New York is the city of Broadway. It is original, moving, deep, live theater.
LA is the home of Cinema. Now, I'm not knocking cinema, but it seems like cinema is a mere imitation of live theater. There is no energy in movies when compared with a live performance. Cinema stemmed from the amazing pieces of drama that greats like Shakespeare or Neil Simon wrote.
New York is the capital of fashion.
LA likes fashion, but it mostly takes what New York loves, copies it, makes a cheap imitation and charges more money for it.
There are a billion more examples, I am sure. But basically this all stemmed from talking about plastic surgery. Mainly, I just really don't enjoy LA. I think it is a simulacrum of a real city (Disneyland included) and it tries to be something it clearly is not. It's like Lady Gaga, she loves to pretend to be obsessed with fame, but really she is calling attention to the fact that we are all crazy obsessed with fame. Except LA does not realize that it is an imitation. It is like bad art, it is trying to be original but everyone can see the influences of Cezanne and Picasso as clearly as they are written on this blog.
