Celebrity Siting!

Remember how disappointed I was that I couldn't make the New York trip with my fellow DFW Sisterlockers - afterall they got to see New York, visit Broadway, see the Curple Purple and all of the other sites AND got to personally meet and hangout with my on line friends Leighann of New York and Brunsli of Cali?

Well, I got the next best thing. Leighann came to town for a show, she's a standup comedian, and LaChanda and I met her for dinner!

I only found out about her visit about 1:30 that afternoon through an email invite for dinner from LaChanda. With such short notice, none of the other DFW ladies could make it.

We surprised Leighann and didn't tell her who was coming. Smart LaChanda situated Leighann's back to the door. I walked in, tapped her on the shoulder and said, "excuse me miss, may I have your autograph?" She turned around and with a big smile exclaimed, "BLAQKOFI!!! We embraced and smiled and screamed and embraced some more.

Of course, this called everyone's attention in the restaurant, but we didnt' care. We were at Leighann's favorite southern restaurant, Cracker Barrel. She has this thing for their chicken 'n dumplings. (Leighann the next time you're in town if you'll give me notice, I'll have my mamma make you some homemade - you won't ever go back to Cracker Barrel!)

We barely ate between talking and taking pics. Check out Brie, a natural sister and server, who couldn't help but stop by and say how much she admired our hair. This pic isn't so clear, but she was working a nice afro-puff!

It was a wonderful, fun evening. Leighann is even more beautiful in person and FUN-E! She had us crackin' up at dinner. Her locks are beautiful and very, very soft. I admire her tenacity for hanging in there, I'm sure the initial locking process was challenging - but look at those beautiful results!

Alright ladies, be sure and check back soon. Tomorrow is the DFW Sisterlocks Gathering and you know I'll post lost of pics. Gonna run to the store now and get me some rechargeable batteries for my new 6.0 mega pixel camera. My batteries were low on this night and I'm not that pleased with the quality of these pics, but I'll check it out for sure tomorrow.

Until then, stay strong, stay encouraged and stay natural!
