our day in Hollywood

and things i learned there...

• Madame Tussauds is completely fun and awesome - how is it we've never been there before???!
• if you get there at opening time, you'll be the only people in the entire place (which is totally the best!!!)
• Barack Obama is really really really tall
• Sarah Michelle Geller is the size of a Barbie doll
• William Shatner was famous like 50 years before he was Denny Crane :)
• all stars are awfully disgustingly thin and no matter how much you breathe in, you just can't hide behind them :)
  
• Michael Jackson is soooo tall!
• Hamburger Hamlet is gone!! (sob - i loved it, i ate there ALL THE TIME! ok, twice... and i'm vegetarian now... so i guess it's not the end of the world...)
• my kids think Whoopi Goldberg is Oprah :)
  
• i'm like head and shoulders taller than Ryan Seacrest and Dustin Hoffman (almost)
• a wax head weighs the same as a human head (10 pounds)
• a whole wax body weighs 55 pounds
• a map of the stars' homes is compulsive reading, i have all kinds of tours to plan - murder tours! sex crime tours!! and just good old fashioned movie star homes tours!
  
• Gil Grissom has a star on the walk of fame
• George Clooney doesn't...
• you can pretend to hike behind George Clooney's house :)
• we are sooooo taking our hiking boots next time we go on a tour :)
  

the last part of our tour to George Clooney's house (the number is Xed out to protect his privacy:) past Casa Vega of Flipping Out fame (we did not eat there, it looked iffy and very un-Jeff Lewis... we had pop chips for lunch instead. also i thought he was getting rid of the C V bushes) and to the place we first met exactly 16 years ago at Highland/Hollywood!!!
