After driving around Venice and Santa Monica in search of a dinner spot that both Richard and I could agree on, we decided to eat at Sushi Roku in Santa Monica. However, it was 9:30pm and there was STILL a 20 minute wait so we decided to go next door to Ocean Ave instead. (Plus Richard saw steak on the menu and of course that was pretty much the deciding factor for him)
I actually didn't mind because we've been here once before for Sunday brunch and I remembered they had really good fresh oysters. (Which was no exception last night, we had the perfect platter of West-Coast oysters: a little bit briny, lots of sweetness, and small and plump... too bad I forgot what type of oysters they were) Anyhoo- all throughout dinner my eyes kept wandering to this asian girl at the table next to us. No- it wasn't because I found her attractive or anything, it was just the way she carried herself and swung her head around over-dramatically when she laughed. It was also her company- they were 3 very Hollywood-type of guys that seem to hang on every single word she mispronounced. But she looked so familiar...
It took me a while but I finally placed her... it was Bai Ling. I know, I know, only *I* would recognize someone like Bai Ling. I had actually just seen her picture from the Prada Epicentre opening party and thought to myself, "I thought she's only played small roles, why is this girl at every major Hollywood event?" and a week after that I saw her picture in some magazine where she wore shoes encrusted with crystal in the form of "BAI" on her right foot and "LING" on her left foot. THAT's why the image of her was so fresh in my mind and I was able to recognize her.
Anyways, I guess that is my "celebrity-sighting" for the week. How come I never run into any cool celebs ^.^
