L.A. transplant
A person who uproots their life to move to Los Angeles because they think they're going to be rich, but they're just another person in a sea of people who also think they're going to be rich.
I moved here to be a famous actor. Now I'm just another guy who works at the airport and still thinks I'm gonna be on a movie set.
My friend came from Chicago to be a big star. Now she's a big star at the gas station and still wears her glittery makeup to work.
My brother moved here to be a famous rapper. Now he's just a guy who raps in the mall and still thinks he's gonna be on a music video.
