Los Angeles has one fewer all-female valet parking service. Malibu-based Valet Girls, which has been around twenty-three years, agreed to be bought by year-old California Girls Valet Parking of Beverly Hills. Such services may get a fair bit of media attention, but I guess the business model for valet parking babes isn't all that lucrative. The selling price of $400,000 is not much more than a decent-sized blog might fetch. The buyer is owned by Brad Salzman, whose web bio brags he was the host at RJ's Rib Joint in Beverly Hills, manager of Gladstone's 4 Fish, proprietor of a California Pizza Kitchen then director food and beverage at Aspen's Hotel Jerome. Also this: "Saltzman served as Chief Volunteer in the search for Laci Peterson."
