Melrose Blvd sale and Santa lap dances

The festive shopkeepers on Melrose Boulevard--between Westbourne and La Cienega--have banded together to offer 20% off all merchandise on Thursday night,  between 6:00 p.m. and 9:00. Hit erotic emporium Coco de Mer (for racy stocking stuffers), RetroSpecs, Alpha, Soolip, and others for savings.

Refreshments and treats will be served and you can visit the Naughty Santa's Grotto for a salacious snap shot with St. Nick. Is that a candy cane in your pocket or are you just happy to see me? Ho!

Sounds like the perfect antidote to the Grove.
