Why Enchanted couldn't have been filmed in Hollywood

I am going to do my last piece in my LA Story before I head home to France.  I had high hopes at the beginning of the summer, but as we all know, life kicks in and I didn't get around to a lot of it.

Thankfully, my dad happens to work off third street, you know, where all the shows are filmed, CBS studios.  {he is a Captain on the LA City Fire Department}  Tae loves it when we visit, little boys and fire trucks go hand in hand.  And I am sure my dad doesn't mind either, feeling like a super hero and all.  So we loaded up Tae, his friend and Eli and headed out. 

Eli and the crazies

The funny thing about Hollywood is Hollywood Blvd.  For some reason people think it is perfectly appropriate to dress in an old (and I mean raggedy-old) Halloween costume and walk up and down the street.  It's like, 'dude, Spiderman, your suit is falling apart!'  This is the first year I have seen a transformer. 

And this is exactly the reason the movie Enchanted with Amy Adams couldn't have been based in Hollywood.  Because when she came out of the sewer, people would have just thought "oh Cinderella's here!" and moved on with whatever they were doing.  Or tried to take a picture with her.

I'm pretty sure that Jack Sparrow is hitting on that girl.  I guess she could say she went out with a pirate...

We drove by Kat von D's tatoo parlor.   I am not sure I really like her.  Seems like she stole Jesse from Sandra.  

Grauman's with the stars footprints out in front. Hollywood Blvd is a must see for tourists and locals alike.  I actually used to shop down there.  You know, before kids and all.

PINK'S!  I love Pink's.  It is just a hotdog stand but for some reason, there is always a line around the corner.  Maybe because of the sheer awesomeness that is the chili cheese fries, or the amount of toppings you can get on your dog.  But DO NOT order chili cheese fries and a chili cheese dog together, for the same sitting.  How do I know?  Just trust me on this one...

We then mozied over to the Farmer's market.  It is at the Grove.  Beautiful day so we walked around a bit.  The shops are a bit out of my price range, but window shopping works.  If you are in Cali and looking for movie stars, this is a fun place to go and a good chance you'll see one. {I sound like I am talking about animals... haha}

Here are some pics from the drive home.  There were ruby slippers hanging over the telephone wire.  I am realizing now that ruby slippers wouldn't have belonged to goldie locks, they would belong to Dorothy.  But I am too lazy to change it.

Successful trip, I would say.  Two sleepie heads and one screamer.  Wait.... no we have a binkie.  All is well in the world.
