sightings...

Part of the fun of living in lala land is that every so often you get to see someone famous that you admire. This week I had two of those sightings!!! Neither is particularly famous. But I admire both of them. Granted, I didn't stop and talk to either of them, so it may just have been their doppelgangers, in which case, it doesn't matter, as it just made me excited.

Thursday, before going into the studio to teach, I stopped by the Starbucks near work. As I was leaving I saw this interesting looking guy with fitted jeans (not the norm for LA) and long skinny pointed shoes. It was the lead singer of Kinky. (as I write my iTunes shuffle just started playing one of their songs - tee hee hee). If I had had the courage to speak to him, I would have told him that I love to watch him dance. They way he moves across the stage is just so much fun, it makes me want to dance. Unfortunately, being in the crowd at concerts doesn't allow for that kind of movement, and jumping up and down in place just makes me frustrated. So I usually just stand still and watch.

Then, this morning walking back from the farmer's market with my breakfast and my groceries, I saw this redheaded man pushing a double stroller. When he looked up, it was the actor from the tv series Life. This was my favorite new show from last season. I am so excited it is coming back (the end of this month). I was just talking about this show on Friday.

The singer's name is Gilberto Cerezo and the actor's name is Damian Lewis. But I didn't know that before now. I have just admired them namelessly for a long time.
