I had just got home after a day of making people feel beautiful about themselves(work)for Smashbox, when my boyfriend asked me if we should make dinner or go out..feeling kinda lazy I told him I wanted to go out, We couldn't decide on where to go. And finally went for the good ol' Denny's. We usually go somewhere a little more healthy(hey I had the salad!) but decided simple = better! And I guess we were right. We were seated two tables away from a group of four. After ordering our drinks I took a look around the restaurant and caught a glimpse of a familiar profile. Looking closer I was thought "that looks like Coco, but why would she be in Vancouver....and of all places Denny's?"

Next thing I know she was standing beside me smiling. I apologized for staring. She said "It's alright" Shook my hand and gave me a hug. Took the photo and told me that it was nice to meet me and to enjoy my meal. She was so graceful. For some reason I thought she would be taller! This photo above was me without heels.
Let's just say I was giddy and smiling all the way home! Such an honour to meet such an inspirational model.
