21 reasons to drink in L.A. is an ongoing project I started years ago. My idea is to photograph 21 of the best female bartenders in L.A., the ones who keep the customers coming back. If you have a bartender you’d like to recommend let me know in the comments section and it will be kept private.

This is Mona. She worked at The Continental with Rita. Mona has sort of a retro Hollywood vibe with her place and the clothes she chose to wear and it worked perfectly for her.
