Next time you're unable to renew your registration at the Hollywood DMV because of an outstanding parking ticket, you probably have Oklahoman Carl Magee to thank. On this day in 1938, Mr. Magee obtained a U.S. patent for the first coin-operated parking meter.

Today in 1873, entrepreneur, Levi Strauss, and tailor, Jacob Davis, were granted a patent to create durable work pants with metal rivets at key points for reinforcement, thus creating blue jeans. Why not get in on this hot new trend with a few fab denim pieces like the Rumer blazer from @nsfclothing? 926 N. Sycamore Ave. (Rear courtyard)

Undeniably, Herb Ritts was one of the most influential fashion and celebrity photographers of the 100 years. Besides shooting the likes of Cher, Madonna, Elizabeth Taylor, Björk, and David Bowie, his photo "Stephanie, Cindy, Christy, Tatjana, Naomi, Hollywood, 1989" for Rolling Stone helped define the era of the supermodel. For more than 15 years, Ritts worked out of 1106 N. Hudson Avenue, now home to the @historic_hudson_studios, a boutique studio located in Theatre Row.

Today is National Crouton Day. (Yes, it's a thing.) A relatively new national day, it only appeared on the calendar in 2015. Nevertheless, let's celebrate those crunchy cubes of bready goodness with an Eat This Salad from @eatthiscafe with mixed greens, candied walnuts, pears, goat cheese, dried cranberries, shallot vinaigrette, and—you guessed it—homemade croutons. How could you not eat this?

Gift Ideas Inspired by Famous Mothers, Part II: Lot's Wife (The Bible) and Joan Crawford (Mommie Dearest). Everyone will certainly have a good chuckle when we surprise Lot's wife with brunch @Saltscure. For dearest Joan, we have eschewed the obvious gift of satin padded hangers for this pair of exquisitely crafted scissors from @justoneeye They are perfect for cutting exes out of photographs or chopping the locks off an ungrateful child.

Gift Ideas Inspired by Famous Mothers, Part I: Mrs. Robinson (The Graduate) and Moira Rose (Schitt's Creek). Surely Mrs. Robinson will appreciate a bottle of the @exnihiloparis fragrance, The Hedonist. Its deep notes of cedar and vetiver mix with ginger and bergamot to create a scent both intoxicating and seductive. For Moira Rose, Schitt Creek's most famous denizen, we recommend a pair of beautiful crystal decanters from @jfchenantiques, the perfect vessels to store Herb Ertlinger fruit wine.

Happy Easter! If you ever wondered where the tradition around Easter eggs started, it is believed to have its origins in the Middle Ages, when eggs were one of Lent's forbidden foods. English children would go door-to-door to beg for eggs on the Saturday before Lent with their neighbors offering them up for treats. We're glad we can just dip into @Sprouts for a dozen whenever we feel so inclined.

This week in 1954, Bill Haley and the Comets recorded a little tune called, “(We’re Gonna) Rock Around The Clock” for @DeccaRecords. The hit sold a million copies in one month and helped usher in a new era of pop music. From 1945-to 1954, Decca Records had a pressing plant located at 960 N. La Brea Avenue. The building is now home to @Heimatclub. According to its website, HEIMAT is “a private community that’s combining the transformational benefits of physical exercise with the relaxation of a much-needed spa day, the flavors of fine dining, and the connectedness of being in the company of other inspiring individuals.” It is slated to open in May 2022.
