NotGonna Say Review of Bullocks Department Store

My grandmother was a mannequin (live floor model) at the Bullock's Wilshire when it first opened, and my mother bought her prom dress there. Over the years, both had enjoyed the tea room with their friends and often reminisced about their times in the building with great fondness. We attended a presentation about the building at the Egyptian Theater (which was followed by a screening of the always hilarious "The Women", appropriately) and it was announced that the Art Deco Society of Los Angeles had received permission from the Southwestern University Law School to stage a fashion show at the site, followed by a tour of the building. My mother joined the Art Deco Society on the spot, and brought me along so I'd have the chance to see the grand architectural masterpiece with my own two eyes. It did not disappoint, and what a treasure it was to spend the afternoon there with her, taking it all in. If you get the opportunity, don't think, don't hedge - just GO.
