Interview with Coey

Which celebrity were you from the celebrity quiz that I put in the blog before you came? Debbie Reynolds

Before coming out to Los Angeles, what did you think it would be like?
I thought it would be sunny, palm trees, and stars everywhere.

When you got here what shocked and/or surprised you the most?
I was surprised that it was very "carnie." A lot of the hot spots were holes in the wall and very spread out.

Her definition of "Carnie" is:"Well, you know. It was like everyone was trying to sell something like the fair or a carnival. The Kodak and Chinese theaters were seedier
than I thought they'd be. Everything wasn't as clean and well kept as I
thought it would be. You know what I mean by carnie."

You had the chance to see several celebrities, What was that like?
It was cool to see the celebrities. I thought I would be nervous to see them, but it was like they were regular people, hanging out and shopping or grabbing lunch with their friends.

What was your favorite meal?
My favorite meals were the banana nutella crepes, and also the shrimp pasta at Off Vine.

What was your favorite sale?
My favorite sale was the $68 Vera Wang wedding dress (quelle surprise).

What is one thing, besideds me, that you would have taken back with you?I would have taken back the palm trees and sun - along with more sale items (besides you)

What is one thing that you wish that you would have done, but didn't?
I wish I could have shopped on Rodeo Drive - and gone to the beach more often - and seen more of the celebs on my list.

What was your favorite thing that you did?
My favorite thing was hanging out with you - and also going to the beach - the hotel was great, too.

What did you think or L.A. traffic?
LA traffic was bad - but no worse than most holiday traffic. I thought it was interesting, though, that most of their side streets were like the highways in MN.
