Before the holidays, the Americana at Brand {an outdoor luxury mall in the Glendale area of LA} asked Bob and I to be part of their taste-maker ad campaign this year featuring different LA locals every month and where they love to shop. All we had to do was shop at our favorite stores and someone would photograph us doing so. Um, not too bad, hunh? We instantly said heck, yeah! Even better, the photographer was none other than my good friend Bonnie Tsang, so it made the day even more fun and laid back…like we were just hanging out with friends. The ad will be in local magazines, {like Los Angeles Magazine} in March…and you just may see us "hanging around" on signage at the Americana as well. Thanks to the Americana for having us and Bonnie for her beautiful photos! Today I leave you with a few of my favorite shots and outtakes from the day…followed by the final ad {which you can see larger right here}. My favorite part was the farmer's market and the petting zoo {that bunny melted my heart}! Have a great weekend all! — Joy

  12. I have yet to find anything you do that doesn’t delight in some way. If I got one wish, it would be an updated listing of blogs you love. I’ve been perusing your list and so many of them are abandoned but beautiful playhouses. Though as I type this, I’m sort of laughing at my own greed. Nevermind, go shopping…

  21. Those are the cutest shoes! What an awesome ad campaign, these are the types of things that actually get me interested in a place. I love the Americana because it one of 2 places in the L.A. area where there is a Madewell!

  67. If you were to look up “Painfully Adorable” in the Urban Dictionary – there’s no definition, only an image of you holding a bunny.
