Illest-7
I have so many photos to share with you guys this week, but I'll try to pace myself and the blog so that things can go smoothly as much as possible...Nawwwww~~~ I'll get to the AutoCon coverage pretty soon because I know some of you are waiting for it (^-^)v But before I get to that, I want to share a small coverage I did on Fatlace's 'occupy' meet today. I'm sure many of you SoCal guys know Fatlace opened up an Illest Boutique store in Little Tokyo. There were car meets at the HQ several times now and every single one had an overwhelming turnout. This meet though, was a bit different and pretty hilarious when you hear how it happend. Check it out.

Hello Guys & Gals! So in light of all the current events that’s been happening around the world with the whole #OCCUPY movement. Also with occupyLA just 1 City block away from IllestBoutique. I thought about a totally funny random scenario of what if we did that with cars?… Occupy a full city block square block of all modified cars… I laughed, Vince laughed & everyone I told got a nice kick about it… *10 minutes later* Lets do it!!!!

Literally taking every single parking spot surrounding the building was Fatlace's idea and sure enough (according to those who attended since 4:30am!) it was a success. I was exhausted after AutoCon on Saturday and really didn't want to wake up and go to the meet at 5:30am, so I overslept a bit and headed out later on.

Imagine the sickest Honda's at one place. Not having any interest in cars last year, I didn't know such events existed. Matter of fact, all the events I attended this year was my first and now knowing certain events being held annually, Norm Reeves Honda Car Show & Toy Drive will be in my list of attending events. This show was not as big like other major events but worth the time because some Honda's you don't see at certain shows show up to this one.

It's seriously difficult to predict the weather in California because it changes randomly so you have to be prepared. I usually don't sweat a lot but on this day, I was actually trying to hide from the sun.
Despite the weather condition, there were a decent amount of spectators to check out some cars.
I walked around the whole section first before taking photos to see what cars were new, reflecting to my past attendance at car shows and seeing thousands of cars.
It seemed like the same model cars were divided into sections except for some vendors/sponsors that were present.
