The Malibu Files---Alicia Silverstone Sighting

Now for the second installment of THE MALIBU FILES

So Monday Taylor and I were loading the kids into the car in Universal City when all of a sudden this black mercedes with a driver and black tinted windows pulls up next to us. Moments later a girl pops out with a hippie hat pulled over her face and walks into Poquito Mas, a small Mexican restaurant. Taylor, who was standing outside at the time, jumps in the car and immediately says, "I think that was Alicia Silverstone. Did you see her? Go in and see if it was her?" I looked at him,thinking---are we really that lame to follow her in?

But just then a miracle happened. Abby said,"Mom, I have to go to the bathroom." Taylor and I looked at eachother. ---Yes, the perfect excuse to go stalk a celebrity without us feeling like total idiots.

So Taylor and Parker stayed in the car and Abby and I went in. When we walked in the "mystery girl" was ordering with her face turned away from us. I was thinking..."There is no way that it is Alicia, because that girl is too normal looking. The hair coming out of her hat was ratted, and her clothes were, well... blah.

So we went to the bathroom, took care of Abby's business, and headed toward the exit door. I remember thinking "Should I feel guilty using the restaurant bathroom without buying something---oh well, I have the kid excuse, right?" It was just then that I looked up. And guess what---a totally a bummed out, hippie looking, ratted hair, Alicia Silverstone was standing right in front of me. I quickly bowed my head so she wouldn't think I was the stalker that I really was, and left the restaurant. Good times!
