Sometimes LA is the coolest place ever. Like when one of your favorite restaurants from your Soho days in NYC finally opens in the Country Mart a mile from your house, you go tot he opening night, it's not that crowded, and Cindy freaking Crawford is there. All of that actually happened last night. Now, I'm not saying that my I-Miss-NYC 'tude from last week is gone... but I mean, it's Cindy Crawford! Sure, her husband's a backer of the restaurant... but that doesn't mean that she necessarily needs to go to it! But she did last night. And she looked GORGEOUS. I mean just drop dead amazing. Funny thing is, when I took this picture, I was just taking a pic of the general ambiance.. and then about three minutes later I saw her and realized I had snapped this pic. Go figure a snappy snap in LA would end up celeb-infused. Her presence did sort of put a sparkle on everything. I managed to take pictures of all our food but have to say I was totally awed by the place because of her... they could have put plastic corn in front of us and I might have thought it still tasted good.
Luckily, the staff didn't get flustered by you know who and even in her presence, treated us like the prom king and queen. We had grilled corn (baby how I've missed you!), shrimp ceviche - goo goo gah gah - and some chips and guac to start.
Num num num num.... Now, post appetizers, I'd finally gotten used to the Cindy-vision. But then... outta left field... who's sits down next to her!!??? Like, as if to prove that all famous people definitely DO know each other... check.it.out.dude.
That is Kenny G! Well friends, onto the main course. Huaraches Vegetariane and Mahi Tacos. Both clean=plate worthy. Add a side of plantains and you've got two happy campers.
We stuck around for a while after we'd finished eating, enjoying the, huh, crowd, and finishing some yummy drinks. Malibu seems complete now. We'll be back. Tonight.
So someone put a cap in his ass just like they rap about in the songs on the radio? Keepin it real
