Had a visiting friend that wanted to visit Skingraft, right after Adam's season. So we went & Jonny, Cassidy, Katy were all there. No other customers so we talked for quite a while. All 3 of them were very sweet. Turned out Katy (former lady partner) went to HS with one of my kids! Crazy small world! |

Pat H @pattihum 10m Looks like the wedding was on the rooftop of the LA Athletic Club. Private club clubweddings.com/laac/ We went to a retirement dinner there - veeerrry classy place. And old school. One of those places that took forever to admit women as members. But gorgeous as you can see from the photos. There is the part for members only (with strict dress codes) and the public areas and hotel. Power brokers. Probably don't need all that info but it's slow  |

Probably don't need all that info but it's slow There are many social clubs in LA that took a long time to admit women but the LAAC is not one of them. I used to be a member -- a social membership only (spa, food, hotel access) -- convenient to my old office there. Now I think anyone can reserve Hotel rooms, used to be you had to be a member. Los Angeles Athletic Club (LAAC) began admitting women in 1914. (I found that date via Google so it may not be correct. I am not that old.)
Some of the most exclusive clubs in LA were completely restricted -- no Jew, no Catholics, no Women, no non-Whites, no others, in other words totally boring, awful places. |

Have to admit I was given that info by someone I know - so, if I am wrong, I apologize. It is a cool place. I think a lot of people believe that. I worked nearby for a couple of years in the early 1990's. I believe there was a bar women could not enter -- similar to what many country clubs had through the 1970's. But I am not sure about that. The LAAC was founded in 1880 and did not admit women until 1914 -- notable members included Mary Pickford and Ester Williams. Here is a great photo...   Women of the Los Angeles Athletic Club on Santa Monica Beach *** Most of the other similar clubs in LA were "gentleman's clubs" from a very long time. ETA: It is a very cool place -- and very "classy". Food and spa are quite good. And the whole place is beautiful. ETA #2: I will not bore ya'll with info about LAAC but the history is fascinating! |
