Fall StoriesDirtyBelieve it or not the story to a “tired and relentlessly predictable story of love between kids from different backgrounds,” was based on the writers own experiences. The small budget film became one of the most watched films of all time and the first video to sell 1 million copies. Love is a dirty business, be prepared to take risks…but wear protection. Bardot The embodiment of the 1960’s Sex Kitten, this model turned actress became one of the few European stars to gain equal fame in the states.

He named it “Nuestro pueblo” for his community. A community who’s suspicions and damages eventually led him to deed the land to a neighbor and never return. The structures measure over 99 feet tall and are a constant reminder to the people of Watts that ANYTHING is possible when you dream big. ® 2008 Local God Enterprises LLC Contact |
