So, I finally gave in and read The Da Vinci Code. Now I really want to go to France. Is that weird?
Much like the LACMA construction across the street from HQ, so has been the web construction of the new and improved AuntBeep.com. Once again we're nipping and tucking over here (no botox!), and soon Beep will emerge from hiding in her Four Seasons Cabana, fresh faced and newly programmed. Needless to say, Beep has been busy. Stay Tuned!
The Beep! The Beep!
The Beep Is On Fire!
You Simply Must...gaze upon the web of pretty.

That Is So Beep...
The Nicest Restaurant & Delivery Service in Los Angeles:
Anarkali Indian.
Anarkali is located just east of La Brea on Melrose Ave (not far from the fabulous Gallery 1988). We've been going there literally for years. Why? Well the food is consistently good (Curry lovers know this can be a problem sometimes), it's extremely affordably (Beep pre-requisite), and the owner is literally the nicest man you'll ever meet. Plus, he has an uncanny ability to remember everyone who enters his restaurant, so he'll greet you warmly every time you come back.
So, we ordered Anarkali to deliver the other night. After I said our address the owner exclaimed "OH! Nice to hear from you! I'll see you soon!" and we finished with the order (he remembers you and your address too!) A knock on the door and he's there with a GIANT box of food. We only ordered the vegetarian meal and extra pampadoms, but he showed up with:
- a huge bottle of Flying Horse Beer
- an order of samosas
- extra pompadoms & extra naan
all on the house!!!
Now, we've selfishly gotten used to receiving $10 off coupons every time we dine in the restaurant, but half a meal extra, plus beer! How fabulous! He is over and beyond generous…and we love him!
Now if only our pizza guy would cheer up a bit….

Bringing It Back...I've been really into T Rex lately. This is one of those "I'm in my own personal music video and I’m fabulous" kind of songs that is meant to be played very loud in a car heading down a long highway.

Beep Treat...Coming Soon.....
Oh me, oh my, what could it be??
Now go on outside and get some fresh air!
Love, Love, Love,
Aunt Beep
