L.A. transplant
A person who moves to Los Angeles from somewhere else and thinks they're gonna be a star, even though they look like they just got out of a trash can.
I moved here to be a singer. I still think I'm gonna be on American Idol. I'm not. I'm just a barista who yells at the coffee machine.
My cousin moved here to be a movie actor. Now he works at a fast food place and still wears his old tuxedo to work.
My friend came from Texas to be famous. Now she's famous for her bad tan and her obsession with avocado toast.
