I went Barney's the other day with my friend Susan Alexandra de Portago, and we spent a boat load of cash. I haven't been shopping like that in a long time. Susan brings out the fever in me, I guess. While in shoe department, who did we see, but Amanda Peet. She's surprisingly beautiful in person. Susan and I both commented on what a great body she has. Anyway, she was very into trying on shoes with a couple of her girlfriends.
After we left Barney's with bags and bags in hand, we were crossing Wilshire Boulevard, but not noticing that the light was red (I think I was still on a shopping high). What should happen, but a police car turns on it's lights and stops Susan and me. For a second, I'm trying to figure out what's going on. Then it hits me, we were jaywalking. That's a big no-no in L.A.
The officer gets out of his car, and walks over to us, and states the obvious. "Do you realize you ladies were jaywalking?" I of course, state that I wasn't from L.A. and didn't realize that it was illegal, besides I also didn't realize the light had turned red. Susan tried to do her best pouting flirty look, while I did the hair flip a few times, and dropped one of my bags, so I could show off the cleavage.
All that effort to charm the police officer, and he still gave us tickets. He must have been gay, because the cleavage thing always works. Or maybe it was the fact that I was from New York.
