surgery clinic, we dressed a street adjacent to a two-story hotel in South Los Angeles. We built a rusty steel "Los Gatos Hotel" sign on the roof of the structure and added hand-painted signage to the building, sagging wires and window AC units. Rue's Smoke Shack Sam had originally written that Rue worked at a Jersey Mike's, but I convinced him to pivot to a smoke shack operating out of one of those tiny kiosks you find scattered around Los Angeles —the kind that were originally Fotomats, the old drive-through photo development booths that once dotted shopping center parking lots across America. It felt more honest to the world we were building, and more in keeping with that intersection of beauty and grit that defined the season's visual language. The Silver Slipper The first set the crew built on Stage 6 was the interior of the Silver Slipper, a strip club operating as one of the many shady enterprises belonging to Alamo—Rue's boss and the new antagonist of the series. I imagined a blend of saloon and hunting club, filled with taxidermy—only predators, which I thought was apt given the other predators frequenting the establishment. The space was composed of a main room and stage, a back hallway leading to the dancers' dressing room and dingy bathroom, and a manager's office, all tied together by a deep red and hunter green color scheme with wall- to-wall cheetah carpet and animal prints throughout. Sam got excited by a late idea to dress a terrarium in the back hallway featuring an 8-foot-long Burmese python. 4F 05 SEE DETAIL # PLINTH 4L SEE DETAIL # SECTION: EXT.
