Five Ways to Spot an Orange County Girl in LA

..inspired by my recent trip to Santa Monica

1) She whips-out her Handi Wipes and Purell at least three-times an hour.

2) When a salesperson or waitress finds out she is from Orange County and asked if she is like the “Real Housewives of Orange County,” she responds, “Only when I get poor service.”

3) Keeps referring to the street performers and artists as “Those poor souls.”

4) Brighton roller luggage, Juicy sweat suit, “upgraded” wedding ring, blended Mocha, slight look of worry mixed with excitement.

5) Has full-fledged panic attack when faced with the reality she has to parallel park her Escalade.
