In Reply to: RE: Unfortunately, she set off that hideous white-woman corn row thing back then. Ugh. * posted by mr grits on October 20, 2007 at 08:20:13
Mr. G.,
I agree completely the corn row style just didn't suit a lot of the women who tried it. I was in a restaurant once and the women sitting close behind me had this style and I nearly asked for a different table as her slightest movement made the beads click together loudly- it sounded like skeletons humping.
Of course anyone living in Los Angeles for 25 years will come across celebrities and my sightings have been mainly in restaurants but also a few at shops: Walter Matthau at a Range Rover/Rolls dealership, Vanna White at Steinways, Kelsey Grammer at Tower Records, Jamie Lee Curtis in muddy riding clothes at a coffee spot, Vincent Schiavelli at a Beverly Hills outdoor newstand - couldn't mistake him for anyone else, and Danny Elfman at Jaguar. If you're not from Los Angeles, this won't be meaningful, but I also saw "Angelique"- a woman with gigantic knockers appearing on billboards for decades who never actually did anything- at a Beverly Hills pharmacy at midnight Christmas Eve, and wearing a tiny, tight leopard print dress.
In the mid 80's I was buying parts at a car dealership and I saw a small woman waiting for a car who seemed to keep looking at me. As this was near a community where I'd designed a number of houses, I kept thinking that she might live in a house I did know me. She was petit, wearing ragged jeans and quite freckly, with a kind of stark stare. She soon drove off and I asked the service manager, "That woman seemed to know me, but I didn't recognise her", and he replied "Oh, that was Bo Derek". I don't know- quite unimpressive. -They must've used two coats of stucco on her face for "10" to cover the freckles.
Another time I'll tell the story of Dick van Dyke in a white kaftan holding the door for me at a Malibu deli,..
Cheers,
Bambi B

Take a look at L. Lohan without makeup.....scarey!!! But made up in the right light she is stunning as well with also a killer bod and legs!
call me sick as I'm old enough to be her Dad....but she is hot!!!

dave c,
This was at the Malibu Deli at the centre next to Cross Creek, on the south side of the centre- 1983.
What made this even more memorable was, not only he in a pure white kaftan, he got into one of the early 80's Chrysler LeBaron K-car convertibles and- the car was all white with an all white interior and white vinyl top.
He looked extremely friendly and quite serene- he must have been undergoing intensive "white" training of some kind. Those were the days of est and Esalen and rebirthing and so on- the $15,000 instant weekend cure for everything. I once had lunch at the Ventana Inn in Big Sur and the guest of honour was someone going into Esalen for something- I think you have to be "invited" for the therapy -(thorough credit check) and whatever she hoped to address, she was drinking heaviliy in preparation,..
I assume Dick van Dyke still lives in the same house back by Serra Retreat.
I wish him well, I enjoyed his work even though he ruined "Mary Poppins" and "Chitty Chitty Bang Bang". I think he's had some difficulties over time.
Malibu was very uncrowded then- like a country town. You remember the old Pharmacy- that was straight out of the 50's and had a lunch counter- always with a seat open. Now, lunch at Grenedas about where the pharmacy was is $60 per person.
I ended up spending quite a lot of time in Malibu, doing six houses, two on the beach, one inland is now owned by a particularily naughty, child endangering mom. In the early 80's you could still buy a shack in the hills for $200,000- now $3,000,000- $4M if there's a good view.
Cheers,
Bambi B
Movie trivia: If you watch the James Wood movie "The Boost", near the beginning there's a party at the home of the big dealer- I designed the house used in the party scenes.
Her children have endangered life everywhere...
lot from the pharmacy.
Around 1987 I saw Sean Penn arrive at a small basement speakeasy type Hollywood club, about 4am. He scored some coke and left without having a drink.
a sample of mine and he declined!!
Cheers,

You're right about bumping into celebs, at least the "right parts" of LA. Happens a lot in midtown Manhattan too. I made a list once of my celeb encounters. The most notable (for me) was Mohammed Ali at the old Big Boy restaurant on Fairfax in LA. It was 2AM, he was in a white suit getting out of one those grostesque custom Stutz things, and all by himself. I assumed he was a very tall pimp until I recognized him.

At Bel Air Camera & Hi Fi back in the early '80's. No wonder Viktor admires her so much.
