Greenspan's Department Store, South Gate, California
Established in 1928.
Greenspan's is an 82 year old business near Los Angeles, CA, carrying classic style and hard to find clothing. They sell "dead stock", reproductions, in hard to find sizes and styles, piled to the ceiling of their South Gate, California store. Since the 70's they have specialized in the styles of the 30's, 40's, 50's, and 60's, in work casual, and dress men's categories. Theyhave sold clothes to many celebrities, movies, TV shows, videos, album covers, as well as many generations of Southeast Los Angeles County families
Founded in 1928 in the nearby community of Watts. Greenspan's was run by Alex Greenspan (b.1899-d.1965), and Eva Greenspan (b.1899-d.1955). The Greenspan family lived in the back of their store from 1928 to 1939. The store was destroyed by fire after the 1933 Long Beach Earthquake, and was rebuilt by Alex Greenspan. In 1939 they started a second location, in the nearly growing city of South Gate.
This location was run by Edward Greenspan (b.1926-d.2009). In 1944 the Watts location closed, and South Gate continued as their only store.In the 1950's Edward Greenspan designed The A-1 Pegger pants for the A-1 Kotzin Company, and he designed the "beach combers". He also sold Ed "Big Daddy" Roth his first T shirts to silk screen. In the 1970's Edward Greenspan began to buy huge volume of (then) unwanted cotton and wool clothing from the 30's, 40's, 50's, and 60's. He would sell it to his customers who included lowriders, rockabillies, cholos, gang members, punks, who liked clothing styles that were fashionable before the 1970's.
After the major studios downsized, and many sold off their own wardrobe department, Greenspan's began selling their older style clothes to Hollywood movie productions. Many movie wardrobers and costumers began looking to Greenspan's for brand new "period" wardrobe. Also boutiques on Melrose in LA, in San Francisco, stores from Europe and Japan, began buying clothing styles of the 40's and 50's. In the early 1990's. Greenspan's sold many vintage work and jail clothes to hip hop artists, like NWA (Ice Cube, Eazy-E, Dr. Dre, and MC Wren,) Cypress Hill, Above The Law, and Compton's Most Wanted, who then went on to wear them on MTV, and created what became know in the fashion world as "West Coast Hip Hop" style clothing.
Greenspan's had many customers in many niches, that liked to dress different than the mainstream. so over the years Greenspan's customers have included bikers, pachucos, "OGs", cholos, hippies, rude boys, rockabilly, hot rodders, lowriders, cruisers, greasers,.gang members and many other people who wanted to dress different from the crowd.
Aside from the wide assortment of clothes including over 1,000 brands, Greenspan's has recently began authentically reproducing vintage style hats, coats, shirts, shoes, and pants.
Some of the brands they carry are Pendleton, Stacy Adams, Zig Zag "winos", Levi's, Dickies (they were Dickies first California store,) Ben Davis, Hush Puppies, Stetson,Ooo Gee's by Greenspan's, Cascade, Greystone, Bailey Hats, Cotler, Foxfire, FR, Falcon Bay, Renegade, Dobbs, as well as Dyse One, OG Abel, Joker Brand, and Tribal Gear.
They have many hard to find styles that have been discontinued like Imperials, Charlie Browns, OooGee red liners, initial stretch belts, car club coats, many out of production Pendleton board shirts, french toe shoes, clicker coats, romeos, bowling shirts, lowrider straw hats, two tone all leather wingtip shoes, boot cut twill jeans, county coats, and "th largest supply of...colors of the classic Pendleton 'Boardshirt' shirt in the world...the last original clothing store.1
They recently have collaborated with some California clothing companies.
In 2009, they collaborated with The Last Laugh Store, owned by Mr. Cartoon, and Estevan Oriol. In 2010 Greenspan's did a collaboration with Tribal Gear, out of San Diego.

Although I'm focused mainly on polish "raw tattoos" after seven years of hunting them the vice possessed me pretty much and when I see a case abroad I run for it equally. I meet this guy at the public car park near Lagunilla flea market in Mexico City. He just dropped there to use the bathroom. We talk a bit. All his tattoos are done in the US prison – 100% rough chicano stuff: cholo surrounded by jainas on the upper arm, jaina making love to a smoking gun on the belly. The clown on the chest stands for hiding the true feelings, the dragon means he's a killer. The pictogram symbolic changes so often that one never should be too much attached to it's interpretation – anyway impressive character. He showed his noble side to me during our brief moment of contact. I wouldn't like to see the dark one.

Nicely styled letters adorn the side of San Pedro's Barton Hill Elementary School, no doubt an inspiration to the taggers that would come along later.

In case your still wondering what's my day job, (aside from doing coll couture on the side) Im a Costume Jewelry Designer, and this is my recent work The "Magalang" Crown. Magalang in english means courteous and refined...
hand sculpted polymer clay crown, with curled wire base, finished in faux gold metal, with pink and green tints, adorned with peridot, emerald and topaz colored crystals and fresh water pearls.
This kimono has detachable sleeves and obi, a tattoo under-dress with matching handbag, pants to pair with the origami jacket and beautiful oriental shoes and socks so that the outfit can be worn in many different ways - Cholo also made the wig !
Look 6 fashion set of Cholo doll couture from sheer madness collection spring summer 2014 arrive to my home today.they are very beautiful in person.very lucky to get them.
I got nominated by SintHonya and ♥ SineVoce ♥
This is actually an ongoing photo challenge on Facebook that Cholo decided to bring here on flickr... the game, for every day for the next 5 days post one black and white photo of your dolls and for each day you nominate 1 or more flickr friends to do the same. GAME!
------------------------------
I nominate:
Witchblade70
-longinus-
If you want to join but no one nominated you, you can always join the game.
I recently received, as a gift, a pack of sx70 time-zero film. one of the stipulations of this gift, though, was that i use half the shots to shoot something other than people. at the time i merely nodded, smiled, and continued to eat my salad.
now, several days later, i say, damn this stipulation. i have taken a few shots, the last of which resulted in two shots coming out at once, ruining both. i do not like taking shots of things other than people. that is not why i take pictures. i photograph people quite consciously, quite deliberately.
the lamp at El Cholo, L.A.'s greatest mexican restaurant, tells me nothing about itself when I photograph it. I learn nothing about the post outside El Cholo when I take its picture. Neither the post nor the lamp give me their story, or their history, or let me in on something I would not have ordinarily known about them. There is no connection made between me and the lamp, or me and the post.
Also, completely unrelated, and this is primarily for my fellow members of the tribe, as we have little else to do on this baby jesus & fat european winter solstice avatar day, go see Stranger Than Fiction today. It is my favorite movie of the year.
And you can trust my judgement, because you like my photos.
