The Standard

It’s late at night in Los Angeles, the party was a blast but now your feet hurt and you’re craving something delicious. Where to go? How to fix it? Party goers rejoice! The City of Angels is here to save you with…Vending Machines! We like to think that we started this trend with The Standard’s Quiksilver Vending Machines but we’re happy to report that two new automats have popped up in LA recently, one dispensing ballet flats and the other dispensing cupcakes! How could that be bad? You’re right. It couldn’t.

Standard + Quiksilver Vending Machine at The Standard, Downtown LA

Stiletto’s are the de rigueur fashion accessory for ladies out on the town. Unfortunately, after an hour or two, those sexy five inch heels can HURT. Most damsels would rather die on the spot than walk home barefoot. What’s a girl to do? A knight in shining armor has come in the form of the city’s first flat-shoe vending machine. The size of a dresser, the thing is currently located beside the women’s restroom at The Colony in Hollywood. Called Rollasoles, the shoes cost $19.95 and come in a variety of styles. Soft and squashy, the little ballet flats are perfect for tucking into a tiny party purse! Hooray! No more doing the walk of shame in bare feet!

Vending machines that dispense ballet flats? Yes, your feet will thank you.

But wait, there’s more!! Another fantabulous trend in the world of automatic vending has popped up on the streets of LA: Cupcakes!! Sprinkles Cupcakes, arguably one of the first to push the worldwide sensation now known as “The Cupcake Revolution”, has just taken the next step towards total world domination with their patented Cupcake ATM. Yes, you read that right. CUPCAKE ATM. You can now get these delicious boxed single sized cakes anytime you want 24 hours a day! Check it out:

So fun, right? And don’t worry if you don’t live in LA. Sprinkles plans on setting up more ATMs in Chicago and NYC soon!
