No Thank You





Photos by Cara

If you follow me on twitter or like my facebook page, you would have seen me talking about a run in with a celebrity last week. Whenever Cara and I take photos in high touristy areas, like the Sea Wall at English Bay, we often have people stopping to so kindly ask if we want a photo taken together. It's almost become second nature to quickly (but politely) say no thank you. This past Friday afternoon the person asking if we wanted our photo taken together was Owen Wilson. We didn't realize it until after we said no thank you and by that time we just kind stood there awkwardly and said nothing. I personally just couldn't think of a good way to say "oh you're famous! Sorry I thought you were just a creepy guy hitting on us. Sure, since you're famous you can take our photo". So I stood there like a quiet weirdo.

Luckily, thanks to this experience I will be ready for the day when Leonardo DiCaprio asks if we want our photo taken. Because that will happen.

    Seriously, Owen Wilson? I would have totally "dorked" out. Love the dress, by the way! I may have to snag it up...it's still available online. Super fab! Cheers!

    Melissa, that is SO funny/crazy!! I can't believe that Owen Wilson stopped to ask if you'd like to have your photo taken. Ahhh!! And my goodness, I'm so in LOVE with your dark hair - it's so perfect & beautiful on you ...and the dress?! Gorgeous. xo veronika

    I saw you mentioned this on twitter and thought to myself "NO EFFING WAY" (in a good way of course)! I probably would have had the same reaction as you - I mean it's awkward enough taking your photo in public without people interrupting, staring or trying to "help". But hey, at least it made for a great/hilarious story + you look pretty freaking adorable!

    Owen Wilson!? That's pretty cool! And super nice of him to offer since I'm sure people are always hounding him to take his picture. Great dress by the way! :)

    How funny would it have been to have Owen take your picture? I love how there are so many random celebrity run-ins here in Vancouver. I loveeeeee that dress, Melissa. The print and cut are so pretty.

    Hey Melissa, your hair looks even darker and I just wanted to say it looks great on you! I admire your courage to try such a drastic change. I'm a brunette and been thinking of going blonde for a change but I just don't think I can do it!

    That's amazing! You look great by the way, but I can't believe Owen Wilson offered to take your photo! I'm sure next time you'll double-check what they look like before saying no ;)

    Well if it is any consolation, these photos are really beautiful and we don't know how terrible Owen Wilson is with a camera.

    P.S. Really, really love the dress.

    Haha I still can't believe you girls missed this opportunity. But hey, what are the changes that a celeb asks you to take your picture! Perhaps he stopped and asked you because of the dress you're wearing, because it's beautiful! And it's looks really great with your darker hair.

    Have a good Friday! xo
