There definitely are urban, fashion/music industry involved areas of Orange County, but I just don't know enough about them. As much as I'd love having the 'pod family as neighbors, I must admit that the City of Orange doesn't seem to be one of these communities. But there's Newport Beach, Huntington Beach, and other myriad places.
I'd stick with Alex's advice - jobs first, then get a place to live. You don't want to have to say no to a dream job because the commute would break your spirit.
