Calling all fashionistas!

you've got prom photos, we need prom photos!

Kids, former kids, parents o' kids -- we need you!

Do you have an amazing prom dress or tux?  Or do you rue the day you chose your bad-patterned, puffy-sleeved or taffeta-laden gown (like poor Ellen DeGeneres here?). 

Either way, we'd love to see your photos!  All you have to do is submit them here (just choose the "School Days" category and "Your Prom" album).

What is Googie architecture?

I just learned about this uniquely Southern Californian architectural style.  (At least, it originated in SoCal, says trusty Wikipedia, but a prime example -- in addition to the LAX Theme Building, above -- is Seattle's Space Needle.)

'Sceners, brand-spanking-new at Your Scene is the album Googie Architecture, and we'd love to see your photos of great examples!  (Just choose the "Your L.A." category and "Googie Architecture" album.  Hit "Submit".  And away we go!)

Calling all Silver Lake hipsters!

We've got a project for you!

The Silver Lake Reservoir, as you may know, is being refilled -- so it'll look once again like it did in David's photo here!

We're on pins and needles here, folks.  Have you got photos or videos of the reservoir in any stage of refilling-ness?  We'd love to see them.  Send 'em here (choose the "Your News" category and the "Refilling the Silver Lake Reservoir" album) and we'll post 'em here!

Thanks a million, hipsters!

A call to (fashion) arms

more fun than my prom for sure

Hey there 'Sceners!

We have an idea...a possibly-very-cool idea.  But in order to make an idea into a reality we need you.

The prom's coming up!  Do you have prom photos?  Pics of great fashion, awful fashion, (gasp) taffeta fashion?  We'd love to see them!  Go here to submit -- choose the "School Days" category and "Your Prom" album.  XOXOXO 4Ever from the Your Scene team.  And if we get enough photos, we'll do something neat, I promise!
