i made this little doll, aren't i talented... 

ida laughs out loud now, it is a hilarious gut roll

                                   

c.j. got back from new york/los angeles last night.  

by the sounds of it, he got the job done and had a great time.  doug went with him {check out his commercials and film work, he is great}.  as i went through the pictures, i kept wondering how two professional photographer/cinematographers kept shooting blurry pictures...  darn those point and shoots...

doug and c.j. decided that they would eat their way through new york. 

the first night i talked to c.j. it was about 1 AM and he was with this guy at this establishment ordering rice pudding.  yes, a rice pudding boutique.  they then headed back to this hotel, where he was staying where doug and this guy were waiting for them.  needless to say, they had fun that night.

the next morning they were finished up with the shoot in brooklyn at about 10 AM, so c.j. and doug started eating again... i heard about portuguese food, pizza, sushi, bread pudding, cuban corn, fancy peanut butter sandwiches (c.j. ordered "the elvis" = peanut butter, bananas, honey and bacon), coconut cookies, pizza again, breakfastchocolate shakes...  yes, these were all eaten within about a 24 hour period, all at different places.  they walked, subwayed and took taxi's on their food quest seeing a lot of manhattan along the way.  i want a holiday like that, anyone else?!?

in l.a. everything went smoothly.  he had a great crew and was well taken care of.
looks like he will shoot the second part of the campaign in the next few weeks, so he will go back down soon. we may tag along, i need some warm weather and a get-a-away.

CJ's such a celeb hangin' with the likes of Napolean Dynamite and the Green Goblin's son. Ida is so stinking cute!! I was hoping to see you and her at Victoria's wedding reception, did you guys just head back up to Calgary after the wedding? I heard on the grapevine you were in these parts.

If you do come and make it as far east as we are, give me a ring!

Whahoo! I love this post!! I still haven't seen any pics or heard many stories from NY.... do you think doug and i need a date night so we can work on our comminication skills!?!

And Ida, oh, Ida. I could die, she's so cute. Penny is wearing that same stripey gapper right this second. Perfect little buddies and they don't even know it yet.
