Hot spot

Recognize this place?  If you don't then I am letting you in on one of the most awesome hippy-beach-bum secrets of Southern California. 

Hidden Treasures is a retro-second hand store in the city of Topanga Canyon.  If you're going to go there, it includes a FREAKING SWEET drive through the Topanga Canyon from the Los Angeles Valley to the Malibu Beach.

Topanga Canyon city is a stop sign in between two other places, but this shop is on the north east corner of that stop sign.  That treasure chest to the right of my crazy face totem pole has any item for 75 cents!  To the far left of the shot, you see a rack of second hand Tutus!  Once you go inside you can find things like this:

And this!

EVERYTHING is authentic.  That hat was probably purchased in the 1920s and has just sat on some movie lot storage for almost a century in perfect condition.  I highly endorse going there and trying on every rediculous thing you see.  I actually did buy something, too.  But not nearly as much as I wanted to.
