Hot on the heels of news that British company Rollasole, which sells flats via vending machines to heeled ladies desperate for foot relief, is coming to L.A. nightclubs in September, comes more vending machine goodness. Quicksilver has teamed up with the Standard Hotel to design an exclusive line of swimwear to be sold at poolside vending machines.  

Of course, shopping at your local vending machine is nothing foreign to the Japanese. They might even giggle at how excited we get at the iPod dispenser at Macy’s.

Pedal Power: With pricey fuel and a recession that seemingly won’t quit, is this the time for L.A. to reach for the sort of shared-road bicycle nirvana achieved in such cities as Portland, Ore., and Boston? Bike-centric neighborhoods such as Venice and Hel-Mel (around Heliotrope Drive and Melrose Avenue) seem to indicate change is within our reach. Or are these the sort of ambitious thoughts better left to more compact cities with about half as many drivers? Tell us what you think.
