Hi there!!! I just got back to my daughter's house. I had an interesting day today. I went to visit my daughter at her job and she introduced me to a LOT of people. They all were so sweet and gave me anything they could, even if it was only a peek inside of one of the penthouses. We had lunch at the side of the pool and from there I saw someone who I don't know, but the servers told me who he was. His name is John something...Corbin maybe? He was on Northern Exposure. Then tonight, we sat outside of her work at the tables where people who smoke sit and that was right where Arnold whathisname walked in the door because they were roasting him tonight. There were a lot of stars coming there tonight for the roast but the only one that I saw was Tom Arnold. Of course, Arnold Arnold was there, all I met were Arnold's. On the way home we drove down Sunset and she stopped to go to a store and we were parked right in front of the Viper Room, which was 2 doors down from the store. That's where River Phoenix Died...right there on the street. Then, we drove past the Chateau Marmont and that's where John Belushi died. I have pictures, but they're still in my daughter's camera, when she downloads them I'll post them up here. I walked over to Rodeo Drive and peeked in the windows, I felt too under-dressed to walk into places named Gucci and Versacci. I did stop at a Rite-Aid for some gum. |
There was also a Subway and a Quizno's...but I kept on walking. It was actually chilly here today...I didn't expect that. I thought I'd be too warm for a jacket so I didn't bring mine. I brought my pink fuzzy jackets but they're definitely NOT Hollywood, LOLOL. That didn't stop me from wrapping one around my waist when I went to my daughter's job. I didn't feel like dressing up to go sightseeing which is basically what I did.
I suppose that tomorrow I'll go out and look at some new stuff while she's at work. Probably Hollywood or one of the studios. There's always something to do if I look hard enough. Well, I'm going to eat the creme brulee that the pastry chef's gave me. The only problem is I can't burn the sugar. They gave it to me straight from the fridge where they had some AMAZING desserts. It was so cool, just to LOOK at them. I almost wish that I'd have taken one of the fruit tarts now...but them brulee stuff ought to be pretty damned good anyway.
See ya!

How exciting ! What a great trip you are having and your daughters job is an awesome way to see film stars !!
If you haven't eaten the brulee yet - which I bet you have lol - you can put it under the broiler for a few.
Can't wait for the pics. Sounds like you're having a great time!
As soon as my daughter gets the pics to me, I'll post them. Yeah...she sees a LOT of stars...when I was walking down Rodeo Drive she saw Tom Arnold rehearsing. The only reason I even saw him was that we were walking to the garage and he was standing in a doorway with a little boy taking his pictures. I was sort of surprised how short Arnold Terminator dude was...he had a huge cigar hanging out of his mouth. Secret service people were all around the place...it was pretty neat.
My daughter's coffee pot has too many pieces for me to figure out so I am going to walk to a cafe down the street to get some coffee and then I'll figure out what to do today.
I think I'll get my own camera to carry today. I heard that you can get a digital disposable camera. I'll see if I can find one of them.
I thought about sticking the brulee under the broiler, but didn't really think that it would work. And, I did eat it! I have more, they stuck two in the bag.
Sous Gal, you would have LOVED the pastry department, even the main kitchen! That's where she works, as the admin. assist. for the head chef guy. Someone was cutting up chicken breasts wrapped in mushrooms for dinner. It was so neat to watch.
Oh, by the pool, they had huge bed like things that you could rent for the day and sleep in. I would feel a bit silly sleeping in a pool side bed, wouldn't you?
I doubt that I'll see any stars today, but yesterday as I was walking around Beverly Hills, I was thinking that they were seeing me.
Who knows, I guess you could see them anywhere but I'm not going to work with the youngin' today. I'm sure that I'll have fun anyway...I'm gonna look up things to do now and then go have some more fun!
