Going to the movies with Eva Longoria

Recovery meal last Sunday. Oinkster. Yum.

We had to get right for the evening's event: Los Angeles Latino International Film Festival Opening Night Gala at the Grauman's Chinese Theatre! We got to watch Pedro Almodóvar’s Broken Embraces. It was quite good. A little long I thought, but good. Almodóvar is a good storyteller. And the cinematography is gorgeous. It was a nice event. The director was honored with an award but wasn't present to accept. He called Eva Longoria to accept on his behalf.

Now, we get to tell people we went to the movies with Edward James Olmos, Jimmy Smits, Eva Longoria.... It's a phrase I stole from Anna. "I had breakfast with Dustin Hoffman once." Meaning, she and he happened to be in the same restaurant at the same time. Which, I was present too for that one. :)

He took off his tie after the movie, right before the party.


That's my yellow etro coat! Or, Lily Tomlin's old coat. Really. It was from her wardrobe on HBO's 12 Miles of Bad Road, a victim of the writers strike in 2007-2008. Huh. So I'm the same size as Lily Tomlin. I don't know if that's good or bad. Whatever.
