In March I travelled to Funky Junk Farms in Altadena to watch the filming of ReBelle Rousers.The location is a State Historic Landmark. On the grounds are several old-tymey vehicles including recreational trailers used by Carmen Miranda, Lucy and Desi, and Lillian Russell as well as a bus built by Howard Hughes for actors on location. The curators of the location are a bunch of Teamsters who work on movie sets and who have gradually pulled together acres of Americana.
Since Los Angeles is home to so many transients, it is easy to say it is not aware of its own history, but that isn't true. The location, which still has several rectangular cement pools (all about coffin size) that were once used for breeding fish, also has a warehouse where the curators restore old motorcycles and a building that can be used as a Route 66-era gas station.
But enough about things that aren't naked ladies.
This was the set at which congregated Angie Savage, Page Morgan, Kimberly Kane, Lexi Bardot, and Mysti Mae.
