God love her!<BR/><BR/>She actually came to the store I work in and signed bottles of her lastest perfum (Can-Can) back in the Spring. I didn't get to see her because I was off. But everyone said she was EXTREMELY nice and very gracious. And she brought her little dog too!<BR/><BR/>Hey...thanks for sharing the info on the new sparkling wine. I'm always grateful to discover new wines. I'm a RED drinker myself. I love California and Australian wines. They produce some AWESOME bottles! And not very expensive either. If you enjoy wine...try Barefoot (Shiraz and Cabernet Sav)....YUMMY beyond words!<BR/><BR/>One of these days, when I get to California...I would love to visit Sunset Blvd. It always reminds me of the movie (which I own).<BR/><BR/>Thanks for sharing your magical story, Spiky!<BR/><BR/>You always make me smile!<BR/><BR/>Yes...I'll be over to read your post in a few...can't wait!<BR/><BR/>Enjoy your weekend!Ronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15977027331657615697noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7092603952139807812.post-28002766384234782382008-06-27T21:13:00.000-04:002008-06-27T21:13:00.000-04:00OH DAMN, NICOLE....you KILLED me with your comment...OH DAMN, NICOLE....you KILLED me with your comment!<BR/><BR/>I'm trying very hard to get a good visual of those sweaty people in spandex!<BR/><BR/>yummy!<BR/><BR/>God....how FUNNY!<BR/><BR/>Hey...at LEAST it was AWAY from the street!<BR/><BR/>And you're right...they're not very kid friendly.<BR/><BR/>However, people bring theirs dogs and attach the leash to the table.

The price is unbeatable.<BR/><BR/>Hey they have a few of those on Sunset and off sunset. I drove by thinking...how horrible to have a meal and have Paris Hilton drive by with the exhaust and smog...yuck. And she wonders why I flipped her off. Ahem, hey they charge a huge amount for a glass of crappy wine too. I've had better out of a box. Um, not that I've eaten at those places, mind you. Okay once...twice at the most. <BR/>hey the new thing in wine is sparking wine. I hear australian wine makers are putting out some really fabulous stuff. California has a few good ones too. No...it's not like the 70's craze Cold Duck! hehehe. <BR/><BR/>Come read me...and I have a video you need to see and tell me what you think, ever hear of the Children's Hour?<BR/>Ciao baby.Spiky Zora Joneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09283587481327552086noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7092603952139807812.post-39759753997007808562008-06-27T18:47:00.000-04:002008-06-27T18:47:00.000-04:00Gee Ron, that sounds absolutely disgusting!!Althou...Gee Ron, that sounds absolutely disgusting!!<BR/>Although, I would never choose to eat on sidewalk, regardless of trash cans, exhaust fumes or the lack there of. I don't image that this would be very kid friendly. <BR/><BR/>This did remind me of this cafe that is in the city where I shop in VA. They have their main restaurant, and then their tables set up "Outside." However, their "outside" is within a corridor of a shopping center, right across from a health club with giant windows. I am talking, 10 feet away from the windows. And it is not really outside. This place cracks me up everytime I see it. It is completely lame. But you can tell they were trying to go for a chic atmosphere. They failed. Just what I want to see while I am eating, a bunch of sweat people in spandex.Nicole Phttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17573744086439526817noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7092603952139807812.post-80378772261155557032008-06-27T15:57:00.000-04:002008-06-27T15:57:00.000-04:00Mmmmmmmm, they just haven't quite got it right hav...Mmmmmmmm, they just haven't quite got it right have they Ron? ;)Akelamaluhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11234268568845148285noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7092603952139807812.post-64388036556907230832008-06-27T13:26:00.000-04:002008-06-27T13:26:00.000-04:00I shun "chic" at all costs!and you're right about ...I shun "chic" at all costs!<BR/><BR/>and you're right about the sidewalk cafe. same thing in NYC.
