Tail 'o the Pup Lost and Found, Los Angeles, CA, 1962
by Charles Phoenix


Tail o the Pup

Strung pennants blowing in the breeze, an Arden Ice Cream truck passing by and a Ford convertible parked at the curb provide a perfect backdrop for Los Angeles' most playful architectural icon. The famous fast food stand is world class. There is no better place in the known universe to enjoy a hot dog...


 

Eyestrology: Happy Birthday Gemini by Cici Psy-Chic



Psychic Readings

Happy birthday to these celebrity June Gemini's: Morgan Freeman (6/1), Justin Long (6/2), Anderson Cooper (6/3), Angelina Jolie (6/4), Mark Wahlberg (6/5), Robert Englund (6/6), Prince (6/7), Kanye West (6/8), Johnny Depp (6/9), Kate Upton (6/10), Peter Dinklage (6/11), George Bush (6/12), Mary-Kate & Ashley Olsen (6/13), Donald Trump (6/14), Ice Cube (6/15), Laurie Metcalf (6/16), Barry Manilow (6/17), Blake Shelton (6/18), Paula Abdul (6/19), Nicole Kidman (6/20)

May heading into June will see most signs kicking back or feeling frisky. Last minute travel or invites should be accepted as we break up our routines with more frivolity. Water and Fire could be doused with alone time, while Air and Earth should embrace the company of others. This period can complement those who've been working around the clock with rest and relaxation. For signs who are trying to get their motors running, this would be an excellent oomph to start. View the next few weeks as a time to switch it up, apply what we've learned and make peace.
