HOT IMPORT NIGHTS!! I just came back from the
Hot Import Nights car show at the L.A. Convention Center about half an hour ago, and needless to say...it was awesome! I finally met the lovely
Jasmine Mai in person! More details on this a few days from now... The other models that I met and took pictures with was
Natalie Keen (Miss HIN 2004),
Francine Dee (for the third time since 2000, heheh),
Christine Mendoza (for the second time since 2001),
Joyce Lex,
Sandy Saya (she definitely does NOT look like Yen in person!!) and
Kay Sivilay...who I thought I met at Hot Import Nights in Del Mar
(in February of 2000), but I was mistaken. This was the first car show Ms. Sivilay made an appearance at. The only lowpoint of the show was
Cora Linn not being able to make it to HIN since she said in her
Yahoo! group that she had to fly back to Texas
(where she lives). But she
did say she'll be at another import show next month.
Good grief...I have to save up money for that show AND Asian Model Palooza
(which is on March 20th)!! Assuming I go to that one...
By the way, enter these models' websites at your own discretion! And YES, I DID take pictures of cars at HIN. I took a picture of a silver
Lamborghini (I loved that car since I was around 7-8 years old!) and
Porsche (ditto!)...as well as a fixed-up
Hummer (also silver). What's pretty interesting is that you can put new rims, a chrome exhaust, NOS gas tanks, a spoiler, a DVD player, a Playstation 2, a broadway rearview mirror AND new shock absorbers on a
2000 Acura Integra GS-R, and it STILL won't be worth as much as a Lamborghini or Porsche! Not
even close...
UPDATE: This just in from
batman-on-film.com:
Gary Oldman, the dude who played Dracula and a Russian terrorist who punked Harrison Ford in
Air Force One, plays Commissioner Gordon in
Batman Begins!! That's gonna be cool... And don't forget about
Katie Holmes being the damsel in distress in this film...
David Julyan, Chris Nolan's composer on
Memento, will be doing the music for Batman Begins. The last time I saw Memento was about three years ago, so I don't remember how Julyan's music sounds like.
