Peek Inside Mimi Pond's Dressing Room

By Off-Ramp Staff
Published Oct 31, 2009
C. 1930: A fashion show including bathing suits, clothes for children, furs, and wedding dresses was held in a large Spanish-style courtyard. View 12: Young women standing next to each other model two distinctly different furs. The model on the right wears a long gray striped coat, tan hat, and black heels; the woman on the left appears to be bare underneath an animal pelt, possibly a fox fur pelt, which is draped over her right shoulder and around her hips, and wearing white shoes.

About the Show

Over 11 years and 570 episodes, John Rabe and Team Off-Ramp scoured SoCal for the people, places, and ideas whose stories needed to be told, and the show became a love-letter to Los Angeles. Now, John is sharing selections from the Off-Ramp vault to help you explore this imperfect paradise.
