The Fake Santas Of Los Angeles
In light of the news that hunky Santa will no longer be gracing the waxed floors of the Beverly Center please enjoy this round-up of other poser Clauses. Like the seven dwarfs of Disney fame, these Santas enjoy their own name distinctions: Yodaclaus, Plasticclaus, Deadclaus, Creepyclaus, Sexyclaus, Kermieclaus and, of course, Barfyclaus. To see Larry Kingclaus, you'll need to go to the Hollywood Christmas Parade.
