That’s Stella

On Saturday night, one of my Aussie boy friends who is in town for a week met me at my apartment before heading out for dinner. Whilst drinking a few glasses of red, I accused him of having yellow fever. Of course he denied it, but when I pointed out the fact that his last 3 girl friends were of Asian origin and his Hollywood crush is Lucy Liu, well, it wasn’t a hard case to argue.

So we head to Do Hwa for dinner – a great Korean restaurant a couple of blocks away from my place. We’re seated at the back of the restaurant and just as we’re ordering, I look at the table next to us and realize its Patricia (who did all the wardrobe for Sex and the City and has her own clothing line). She’s with three other people, including a little Asian woman.

I joke with my friend that it’s Lucy Liu. I looked back at the little Asian woman….
“FUCK. It is her!”

My friend called me a liar, till he looked at the pretty, sweet faced Asian woman and nearly had a panic attack when he realized I wasn’t pulling his leg. I had to tell him to “Chill the fuck out.” He did a relatively good job considering he was practically sitting next to his Hollywood crush.

Lucy is really small. I read on imdb that she’s 41, but she looks like she’s 21. She’s really pretty, but to be honest, I wouldn’t have noticed her if it wasn’t for Patricia (who is this 50+ year old woman with bright red hair and rock and roll style).

I love funny coincidences like that in NY. Last year I watched Shawn of the Dead. A couple hours later, I walked out of my apartment building and bumped into Simon Pegg. Trippy.
