No Paparazzo-O: My Life Is Chloe Sevigny

It's a new year, a new decade, and a new post about celeb-sightings. How lucky are we?!

Yesterday I spotted Chloe Sevigny in Silver Lake which reminded me that it's time to come clean to you all about my star-crossed relationship with her.

It all began a few years ago when I first saw Chloe at a tequila bar in downtown L.A. called La Cita where The Slits were playing. The bar was packed with everyone on the sweaty dance floor rocking out to some orgasmic punk music. Worming my way through the crowd to get to the restroom, I squeezed behind Chloe, resting my hands on her petite sexy waist for two seconds. No homo... but it was hot.

I saw Chloe a second time at La Cita and thought it funny while reminiscing of my first encounter. I didn't give it much thought beyond that.

The next time I saw Chloe was at the 4100 Bar in Silver Lake during a street festival called Sunset Junction. It's possible that it was a Chloe copycat given that she is somewhat of a fashion 'It Girl', but the way she presented wearing her mini white shirt-dress and hot pink wayfarers somehow convinced me it was her.

Flash forward to several weeks ago, I shared oxygen with Chloe at the Somewhere premiere, though I didn't know it at the time and so didn't include her in this post.

Then yesterday, glorious yesterday, was what you might call a game changer. I was walking around Silver Lake looking to grab some lunch and passed by a place called Flore. There Chloe was - sitting at an outside table, eating and sipping tea. I couldn't believe it but believed it all at the same time. Not thirty minutes before had I just seen a billboard for Big Love and was reminded of how I'd recently taken a picture of her super cute haircut to my hairdresser as inspiration. So of course... I decided to eat lunch at Flore. I went inside to find a seat (no stalk-o), but the place was packed, so I had to eat outside... next to Chloe! While waiting for the waiter to take my order, I noticed Chloe was reading the latest issue of LA Weekly. I looked around to see if I could get one for myself, but none were to be found. So I politely (bravely) asked her where she picked one up, and she responded by giving me hers. Totally sweet! Totally nice! She even briefly chatted with the family sitting near us. So not what I expected of Chloe given her Golden Globes acceptance speech, which I find to be a tad cringe-inducing & embarrassing. She looked super stylish & low-key - dressed exactly how I'd imagine her to dress on a chilly winter day in L.A. She then drove off in her black Toyota Prius and left me sitting there wondering when the next time our paths will cross because they totally will.

  1. In 2001 I went to a wedding with my boyfriend in Northern California. The groom (a B-school friend of my bf) was cousins with the actor Leland Orser who is married to Jeanne Tripplehorn. Leland and Jeanne were both in attendance at the wedding and even ate dinner at the same table as we did. They were both lovely and charming and even offered their hotel room to anyone who needed a shower (we were camping that trip). Chloƫ Sevigny stars in Big Love with Jeanne Tripplehorn. Coincidence???
