I love LA — but I’m working twice as hard for half as much 

People love to trash talk Los Angeles and California, but I LOVE IT HERE. I’m committed! I even married it.

That’s right, I’ve never married a man, but I took my city’s name and officially became Liz Angeles.

I’m committed to staying warm, staying in shape, and staying broke!

I’ve run a luxury massage business for 37 years, but lately I’m working twice as hard for half the money.

As a California-bred, Sonoma County-raised kid, I was sent to live with my blackjack-dealing mother in Vegas because, well, I was a teen living with my dad and two brothers. Enough said.

Because I finished high school in Sin City, we couldn’t afford out-of-state tuition, so UNLV in the ’80s it was; ALL of the ’80s.

And what a time indeed. Slinging cocktails and cigarettes was my obligatory demise.
