Living in this city means bearing witness to a higher than average amount of strange sights and vast array of definitions of socially acceptable human behavior on the daily. Oftentimes the abundance of L.A. weirdness we see in our day-to-day is beyond words when attempting to describe it to those who weren't there. But now with Instagram, the heavy lifting is taken care of for us in capturing a breathtakingly peculiar or otherwise noteworthy vision and sharing it with the world. So join us as we celebrate L.A.'s knack for proving life can always get a little bit funkier with another round of the most absurd, seriously WTF moments you pretty much only ever see in L.A. Insta-captured in the last two weeks.

Although L.A. is probably the most undeserving city of delightfully random waves of perfect summer-like weather in winter, Mother Nature is feeling generous again and granting us another few 80-degree days. Sure, it's a sign of irreparable damage to the entire planet's ecosystems and melting away of the poles, but don't lie... you know it feels awesome. To not appreciate it in some capacity would be a shame, especially when a good portion of the country is experiencing a true winter wonderland that does not quite have the magical charm of the holiday snow flurries sprinkled over The Grove. So, here's a little reminder in case you've forgotten how to maximize this streak of summery glory with these eight ways to take advantage of 80-degree days in February and March.

Fat Tuesday festivities leaving you not so chipper this morning? Hopefully it was worth it, but even if you only have some plastic beads and a bitchin' hangover to show for your school night debauchery, at least you have this straight-up glorious 80-degree day of what Accuweather describes as "brilliant sunshine," and nothing—not even regrettable behavior from last night—can take that away from you. Seriously though, I'm pretty sure I saw the neighborhood gardeners skipping along earlier this morning.

Now let's take a looksie at our gorgeous summer in February weather versus the situation in NYC today (what's the point of having awesome weather if you can't gloat about it?)... More»

Mother nature is confused again and has decided it's appropriate for Los Angeles to be 80 degrees in January. Today's highs are actually in the neighborhood of 85° across the city.

When you run a less than authentic Mexican restaurant with a name that's a euphemism for a vagina located in a yuppie mall, you're already fighting an uphill battle for credibility. Something tells me humiliating nature's saddest animal won't help with that. But don't tell that to Pink Taco in the Century City Mall, who made national headlines last week by chaining a shaved, spray-painted donkey to their front door to celebrate a regional Mexican military holiday. Now, the restaurant has released a statement addressing the controversy. Wait—you weren't expecting them to admit they did anything wrong, were you? More»

Better set aside a little spending cash, because after a much needed update, the Santa Monica Place re-opens tomorrow for the first time since its closure in January 2008. Its reintroduction, offers the ultimate SoCal experience: do your high-end designer shopping just steps away from the beach.
