...and lo and behold! This mythological creature, who recently mounted himself at 1930 Echo Park Avenue -- 2011's answer to the legendary Show Pony boutique, which used to be stabled a few blocks south on EP Ave., in the space Tavin now occupies.

Some women who were working in Echo Outpost's former studio (Outpost has moved) told me that there will be a grand opening, this Friday, 11-11-11, all day and into the night, for their new vintage/designer sportswear shop, named "The Dog Show."

A dog and unicorn show? Or a new kind of wildlife.
