The designers included ZAN e.l.a., Marcel deJure, Virginia de la Luna, Orquidia Violeta, OROZCO and many others who used everyday materials such as grocery bags, Trader Joe’s bags, table clothes and everything else in between that could be moulded into a fashion accessory.

Performing before the main attraction the band MEZKLHA kicked of the night with a set that got everyone in the crowed grooving. They set the mood for the rest of the night with their unorthodox style and blend of different musical styles such as drum-n’-bass, cumbia, trip hop and afro-cuban beats.

Friends of the Whittier Narrows Natural Area

The Whittier Narrows Nature Center is a 320 acre wildlife sanctuary located within the Whittier Narrows Recreation Area, a 1,400 acre riparian woodland. Four lakes and a riverside ecosystem are home to over 40 bird species. Actually, over 300 bird species have been identified in the Whittier Narrows area. Its lakes are popular with migrating water foul, as well as the occasional mountain lion or bobcat. In the Recreation Area open from sunrise to sunset, humans can enjoy sports like soccer, volleyball, archery, fishing, skeet, pistols, and horseback riding. Facilities rent boats and bikes. Now as far as outdoor education goes, nothing beats the outdoors- but the Nature Center goes a long way in explaining the complex relationships which sustain this marvelous ecosystem.

The Whittier Narrows Natural Area was first designated a wildlife sanctuary in 1939. It is now managed by the L.A. County Dept. of Parks & Recreation Natural Areas Division, whose mission is to preserve, protect, and educate. Among other activities, the Nature Center hosts bird walks, hay rides, lectures, and school tours. The environ around the museum building is tranquil and unimposing. One would never guess what wonders lurk inside.

If you are a big fan of natural history museums or an aspiring taxidermist, you will love this place. Upper left we see the grey fox, close relative to our native island fox, who famously inhabits the Channel Islands and is known to be the world’s smallest fox. Also on display are live toads, a tarantula, lizards, snakes, and even a racoon. This room is overflowing with curiosities- some dead, some living.
