Living in L.A. - it's normal to see celebrities when you're not even looking for them. Of course; you don't see the ones you really want to see!
That's right; those on my Bucket List have never been spotted by me - you know; George Clooney, Brad Pitt or Abe Vagoda!
And the only reason I recognize any of them is - they've been etched into my memory so deeply due to unproductive years staring at the little & big screen - and now it's just paying off!
If they're incognito under a Fishing Hat, a Beekeeper's Bonnet or sporting a fake Mustache - I would of course; miss them all together!
Would you believe there are Rules for "Star Sightings" here:
DO NOT: Approach them, Flirt, Touch, Ask for Autographs or Write down the contents of their Grocery Cart! And don't take their picture!
They say - "If a Celebrity makes eye contact with you (rare) give a slight nod & "The L.A. 1/2 Smile"!
I would do it & shoot a Photo out to you - but I just got some Botox & I can't even whistle for my dog!
Since moving to L.A.; here are my "Star Sightings" - in the order I saw them!
Sure, they're an eclectic rag-tag group - but I didn't see them all in the same day! ha ha Oh, and none of them were at "Starbucks"! Would you recognize them?
