The day before, on April 2, I had gone to a Goodwill store in the city of Orange and purchased a disguise, clothes that would have suited any bum wandering
around nearby MacArthur Park or the broken -
bottle district of downtown L.A.: a $ 5 pair of baggy brown pants, marked down to $ 2.50, whose cuffs scraped the floor; a large gold shirt for $ 3; a
white tie, with a bright yellow stain, for 15 cents; a pair of brown shoes, which I wore without socks or laces, for $ 5; and the ugliest sports coat in the store, a black number with red and
white flecks, for $ 2.50.
Romantic candle lit dinners can be enjoyed at Vision Villa Resort, and each room offers luxury toiletries, ice service, a desk, mini bar, complimentary
bottled mineral drinking water, facilities for making endless mugs of tea or coffee, cozy slippers to enjoy padding
around the villa in, plus there is an abundance of
white fluffy towels, and silky smooth bath robes.
