Pretty Pink Ponies Professional women making bold strides ... in high-heeled fancy shoes! (Note: Posts on this page are created by several members of the Pink Ponies team)

Being a girl in this city (L.A.) and "making it" as a professional while keeping up with fashion, friends, family, style, relationships, fitness, reading and everything else is nearly impossible. We could always benefit from more support from our friends, families, network and other resources within our reach. It's our mission to provide readers insight by posting about lessons we've learned and t

he lessons we continue to learn. The content we post is for anyone who could use some food for thought especially the young woman "standing in brand new designer shoes" weary to step forward. We hope you'll find value in stories shared by others who were in similar shoes...as pretty as the pair on your very own feet. Walking tall and pretty in high-heels after stumbling isn't easy. It helps to know others who have been there, recovered and what they do keep "balanced" in their tall heels. Thanks for visiting and we encourage your feedback and comments on how you manage to balance your life during your trajectory to success. Take a nice deep breath. Then, put your best foot forward and make big strides!!! Yours,


Pretty Pink Ponies ("3P")

Los Angeles Animal Services figured students would need a place to go during the Los Angeles teachers' strike. So the agency is offering opportunities for kids to volunteer at one of six animal care centers throughout the city.

This Week In LA History ... January 5, 1894

January 5: Mrs. W. W. Holcomb responded to the insults and cane jabs of her ex-husband attorney W. W. Holcomb by horsewhipping him. The two encountered each other unexpectedly on Spring Street and Mr. Holcomb began insulting his former wife. According to Mrs. Holcomb:

"We passed Holcomb once on Spring Street before the affair took place. He was in the company with a Mrs. Cassey. He called us vile names as we passed, which I resented, and we then walked on. When we reached the Stowell block, we passed in, when Holcomb did also. When I saw him pass I stood in the doorway, not wishing to go into the elevator with him. My friend, Mrs. Hyland, seeing that I did not come, stepped out to see where I was, and Holcomb followed her out. In passing me, Holcomb again cast an insulting remark to me. My friend and I crossed the street, going into an art gallery adjoining the Saddle Rock restaurant. Holcomb stepped into the restaurant. As we emerged from there we were again met by Holcomb, who made some insulting remark. I answered by saying that he was a scoundrel and that he ought to be in San Quentin; that he had ruined more girls and committed more crimes than any man in Los Angeles. Holcomb then raised his cane and struck me. I warded off the blow with my right arm and pulled a whip from an express wagon and struck him. Holcomb struck me again, cutting a deep gash in my head. Then a bystander struck Holcomb and knocked him down. I kept on lashing him with the whip. When he got up another bystander knocked him down and took the cane from him. He again got up and started running across the street toward the Los Angeles theater. I followed him with the whip when the crowd shouted to me 'give it to him good!'"
In the confusion, Mr. Holcomb was able to lose himself in the crowd.
