Last night while taking an evening stroll to show Sarah some pretty incredible Halloween decorations we had a monumental moment. Approaching us on San Vicente, we saw a couple walking in our direction. Sarah was starting to become agitated and wanted out of her stroller, but who wants to carry her all the way home? NOT I!! While trying to distract her I told her she should wave hello to the people coming our way. She didn't, however,
picture this....
the couple passes and the next thing I know I am jumping up and down, smacking Richard, totally speachless. Words just wouldn't come out. All Richard could do was laugh his head off AT ME and respond, "I know Kim, I know! I thought you didn't get star-struck?" (So did I!?)
KEVIN BACON!! I LOVE KEVIN BACON!!! Yes, he was with his wife (DARLING), but she doesn't matter here! KEVIN BACON walked right past us on our Sunday evening stroll. Footloose is my ALL-TIME FAVORITE movie (cheesy, I know) and it's the only movie I can actually quote from. I was very tempted to turn around and follow them, just so that I could tell him of my affection for him. (Don't worry Richard, I still love you more!) However, I resisted!
And get this...when I told my dad about this last night on the phone, he actually had the nerve to ask, "Who's Kevin Bacon?" Dad, you better get out more!
P.S.**While I do not in any way want this to become my outlet for famous people sightings, I HAD to write about this one. I mean, if you really know me, you know I had to post this.
P.S.S.**I can't even tell you the last movie I saw that had Kevin Bacon in it and I don't own his CD. It's just one of those girlhood crushes, the kind that will never go away. I think the only other time I would react in a similar way is if I passed Rick Springfield.
P.S.S.S**Just think, if my adorable daughter had followed my instructions and waved to the couple as they passed by, they probably couldn't have resisted her cuteness and we'd be best of friends now, probably even having Christmas dinner at their house. Oh, Sarah's in trouble now!
Oh, all this dreamy talk has put my head in the clouds!! I'm off to listen to Jessie's Girl now.

If only kim. I would have come and joined you for Christmas dinner. I love him too and in all my girlish ways wish you were friends with him. You just might have to take several more Sunday night walks in that area again and maybe just maybe you will see him again and Sarah will wave! We are all pulling for you!!!!!!!!!!!
As you know I have footloose on my list of music on my blog and it is even playing now!
love ya!
Oh Kim, you are too funny. Sarah's in trouble now! As obvious as it may have been, I would've totally turned around and tried to casually follow them. You have more resistance than you know!
Oh my gosh ... I am laughing sooo hard!! This s totally NOT YOU!! Me, however, I would have so told that adorable child of yours to "say hello to the nice people" and made them notice her! Come on ... Who is their right mind could ignore SARAH?!?! I'd better come take some walks with you so we can practice Miss Star Struck!
Oh, and Ya... He is such a babe!!
you crack me up! I am so glad you had this opportunity, I think every girl should at least walk past her childhood crush once in her life, and yes Sarah Jane is in trouble! And your Dad.... Hilarious!
How fun!! You should have stopped and struck up a conversation! Who could resist that darling litte Sarah? I am sorry, but I can't place Kevin Bacon either! I don't think I saw Footloose, but that is nothing new! I cannot believe THEY didn't stop you so they could talk to Sarah!! She is such a doll!!
We Love You!
LOL!!
Super cute blog! I hope you are doing well. Maybe we'll see you at the Skirball sometime soon! :)
nice! so glad there is a celeb who can make you ga ga!! ... and now when you play the 6 degrees of kevin bacon game you can put yourself only one degree (and a couple feet) away from him!
You totally took me back. Do you remember all of the times we watched Footloose in High School? So, do you think he lives in your neighborhood? Try not to stalk him ;)
omigosh...all we did in AP Calc was sit around and play six degrees of Kevin Bacon...lol...i think you might actually be part of that game now... lol! seriously thinking back i feel really bad b/c our teacher must have hated us. who can remember calculus when you have a rousing game of six degrees of kevin bacon happening!! I LOVE IT. your life is so exciting!
You are so funny! I probably would have done the same thing . . . no mater who the star. We just don't see them in Washington. :) You live in a pretty hot neighborhood, Girlfriend; keep your eyes open. Love you--
Aunt Penny
that's so funny! too bad sarah doesn't know babies are the best excuse to talk to strangers! maybe next time...
I can't believe Lisa hasn't been on here and given you a very hard time!!
I knew there would be someone that would catch your eye! But I'm most disappointed in Kevin that he didn't stop and adore our darling little Sarah! He just went down 2 notches on my list! Love you all, Mom
Your are tooo funny Kim! But lets be honest that is a pretty cool celb. siteing. I probably would have done the same thing myself. The best part is Richards response to your jumping up and down. We miss you guys. Hope to see you soon. Love the little yitter! Love the cute purple sweater.
