My golly it was a hot one today and we wandered down Hollywood Boulevard checking out the famous stars and Nat found her idol - Ms Paula Abdul...or not as the case may be.
We then had a look at the hand prints at the Chinese Theatre, we saw the cast of Harry Potter, Sean Connery and even R2D2! We noticed that the Boulevard had been blocked off and found out that Taylor Swift was performing later - didn't think anything more of it!
Bless Melissa, Hollywood ain't her bag - so we decided to escape the heaving crowds and headed for the quieter Sunset Boulevard for a breather....breather was the wrong choice of word as it was so hot - so we made a refuelling stop at an organic coffee shop....
While enjoying iced tea and juices the four of us decided that the air conditioning of the Hollywood Museum sounded a good plan. It was a fascinating place, it had the actual dressing room of Marilyn Monroe and artefacts from Raiders Of The Lost Ark....there was even a dungeon for the horror movies, and Hannibal Lector's cell....."Hello, Clarice!!!" We really enjoyed it and then headed next door to Mel's Drive-thru diner for a food stop for the peckish ladies!
The motel's pool beckoned and we thought we would stay there for the rest of the afternoon, until we saw a blimp circling advertising Ms Swift's upcoming outdoor concert....so we left the sun loungers and went to investigate!
It was a ticketed event so couldn't get in but we stood at an exit and watched the big screens, we could just make out the stage and could hear her clearly! It was great, she was on some chat show promoting her new album and afterwards came out of the studio and performed four songs on Hollywood Boulevard.....the youngest artist to have the Boulevard come to standstill.
What a treat Swifty tonight and Britney tomorrow.....Vegas not long now!
"Cause the players gonna play, play, play, play, play
And the haters gonna hate, hate, hate, hate, hate
Baby, I'm just gonna shake, shake, shake, shake, shake
I shake it off, I shake it off"
