California Mishegoss - L.A. is Hooked on Adderall, A Surfer Nomadic Lifestyle, It’s It ( not a typo)

Before the Spanish colonized California about 250 years ago, it’s thought that up to 30,000 Indigenous Ohlone lived across the land. By the 1920s, there were fewer than 100 remaining. In 1925, a UC Berkeley anthropologist wrote that the Ohlone were “extinct for all practical purposes.”

Matthew Brookes has photographed a lot of alluring celebrities: Chris Hemsworth, Robert Pattison, Jake Gyllenhaal and Ryan Reynolds. The photographer — who has also done campaigns for Boss and Armani, and international covers for Vogue, GQ, and VMan — recently explored the world of surfing, capturing roaming spirits and sun-kissed silhouettes in his new book, published by Damiani, Into the Wild. The book’s proceeds will funnel back into the Venice Beach community: namely Safe Place for Youth, a charity which helps homeless kids get back on their feet.

What’s so delicious that everyone exclaims it’s “IT!”? It’s an It’s It, of course. These ice cream sandwiches, featuring two old-fashioned oatmeal cookies dipped in dark chocolate, have been a San Francisco Bay Area classic since 1928.
