So let us clear something up. The Beach Boys knew exactly what they were talking about when it comes to california girls.
I have been in Hawaii, on the lovely Island of Maui, for 6 days now. I've been here about 3 times before this but all during prepubescence, so now that I am soon to be 24 I can make adequate sexually charged judgments. I have also been many other places on the planet including Europe, Central America, and the Caribbean. California girls are consistently the best.
Nowhere else in the world is there such a dense concentration of indisputably hot women. Southern California in particular, dominates the hot chick market. For those of you who live in southern California, you understand completely. But in the last few days I have been perplexed by the lack of this same trend in our country's flagship paradise.
I've been walking along the beaches and popping in and out of the dive bars and seen a few beautiful girls but wheres the high pressure chick wells that I stumble upon weekly in San Diego? If Maui's front street taught me anything its that hot chicks are not a necessary component to monetary success, contrary to popular belief.
I overheard a titillating conversation while perusing one of the many Art Galleries on Front St. One of the curators was speaking with a buyer and was saying how, "...in 1970 there were 3 galleries on front st., now there are over 300 and its grown into a multibillion dollar industry here."
I was in awe. As I walked by the $120K leopard painting by Craig Stone and his 23 year old daughter's equally impressive paintings of indigenous South Africans, I had to focus on my breathing. And looking at Anthony Hopkins' rather unimpressive painting exhibit I learned a thing or two.
I chatted it up with a few of the gallery reps and salespeople. They make a killing off of selling other people's talent. And, with the exception of Mr. Hopkins, the work sells itself. One of the ladies mentioned that she used to sell motor homes in Palm Springs, another mentioned he used to be a carpenter. Apparently it isn't that difficult of an industry to break into. It certainly seems easier than being an actual artist, what with all those skills and stuff that you need.
So, in spite of Maui's lack of a hot chick infestation, it seems to be an ideal place to make a good living from selling art. One of the salesman had just opened up a new extension to his gallery so they appear to be doing just fine even during the recession.
Now, I'm not saying I'm ready to leave my native Californian women for the prospect of making millions selling beautiful work. But maybe as soon as I bag a few gorgeous californian chicks who are down to practice unofficial polygamy with me as the Patriarch, I just may cruise out here and make a couple mill to fund my earth saving shenanigans.
Wish me luck! Mahalo, and Aloha!
