A recession stylista!

Good to see you back with more STYLEist, Tom!

If you think Diz is rad, you should see her apartment!

(Hi Diz!!!!)

Oh, she's hilarious. She always chats about clothes with my daughter (who's five!).

is she the one who runs the news stand on cahuenga? if so, i love her! she's from boston (my hometown...go sox)

Diz is an L.A. institution...or legend... or legend who should be in an institution. I first met her when she was a waitress at Raydion on Pico in West L.A. at the height of the New Wave movement in 1981 (she was 7, I was 3) and she used her trademark bird-like call to greet people. I lost track of her for awhile and then she popped up as a host of USA Network's "Up All Night" late-night weekend movie show - "wow, Diz has her own tv show!" She disappeared again and then I walked into Wacko on Hollywood Boulevard a few years ago and she sold me some sage oil. Everywhere you go in L.A., there's Diz! Love ya, Diz!

Thanks jrb!
Elise I would love to see her apartment!
Defender90CA Diz was making her trademark bird-like call when I was taking these photos :)
