Today was a great last day in LA before heading back to the cold! Lane was off work, so we hung out all day, plus the weather was the best it's been-probably 75+ and sunny! First, we went to The Novel, which is the cafe where Lane works. They have delicious food; I had a turkey, cheese, onion, red pepper, and spinach quesadilla. So good! I met a bunch of Lane's regulars, one who is a writer and director and helped write The Animaniacs (a cartoon TV show)!! It was a cool hole-in-the-wall place. She said they wait on a few regular celebs quite a bit; it's very out of the way.
Next, we drove to Venice Beach, which is a crazy artsy area. Lots of little shops, skateboarders, bicyclists, artists--it was neat. I bought some huge LA sunglasses for really cheap. Lane got some aviators, and definitely looks very "Top Gun" with her shaved head and sunglasses. We played with Eisley in the sand and enjoyed the beautiful beach view.
Then we walked back to the car, and my phone rang. It was Jordana, a friend from Mizzou, and she wanted to know where I was. Turned out that I had just walked past a store that she was in. She was visiting a friend in Venice, and was with her friend while she was at work. The store where she worked is a bikini store that custom-makes their swimsuits; some stars have even worn their suits on magazine covers, Jordana's friend said. She said the store was closing, and I could have a suit if I wanted, I thought she was kidding, but then she said that I could take one for free!! And, Lane, too!!! So, we each got a new bikini for free!!! She got a black one, and mine is yellow with white polka dots. I really like it!!!
A happy birthday to Chris tomorrow, he turns 22! And what a lovely present he is picking up at the Kansas City airport!!! :) Check back soon, I'll let you know when I rent an apartment...I'll be busy with that while I'm in MO, too. Ok, byebye for now!
She wore an itsy bitsy teeny weeny yellow polka dot bikini!
Wow! Again, I repeat, where'd you get all these friends and connections?
Great pic!! I can't believe you actually live near there!
