Picture Pages!

~ Ragen Chastain

Now that I’m all packed for the Dallas Premiere tomorrow (there’s still time to get in on the fatty/fatty friendly lunch at Twisted Root Burger on Saturday at 11:30ish).  I realized that I hadn’t posted an update with all of the pictures from the Los Angeles Premiere. In cases where I do not know the people in the photograph well I kept the names out of the picture, but rest assured that I do know your names and you are awesome.  Almost all of these pictures were taken by Rose who was my tourguide in LA and is a super cool person and an excellent photographer.  These pictures would be in some reasonable order except I’m being defeated by technology at the moment and so they are captioned and in completely random order.  Enjoy!

Darryl calls us "The Divas". Candie - a Realtor from Chicago, Chan - his sister, and me. Each of our stories is in the film. Why yes, that is another awesome dress provided to me by the fabulous designers at http://www.igigi.com
Rose steps from behind the camera for a picture in the lobby!
With two lovely ladies of NAAFA Los Angeles. I heart them muchly!
Darryl and I taking official PR shots.
Darryl (the filmmaker) and I high fiving after he told me that a picture of him, Candie, and I from the NYC premiere had been picked up by the AP Wire was was on the front page on Yahoo!
We started out at a lovely cocktail reception put on by Kantor & Kantor in honor of the movie and Carolyn Costin's new book. It was at the Hyde Lounge, a velvet rope night spot much cooler than I. The door guy was so cool as to be absolutely no fun and so he declined to be in the picture.
We fell in love with this sign when we walked into the theater. It's good advice in parking and in life.
Here's me in front of the step and repeat. Yay I got to feel like a movie star.
Here I am with the fabulous Jeanette of The Fat Chick
With Dr. Barry Norman who I first met at the IADEP screening. Barry is awesome and is a stats geek like me so much fun geeky conversation was had.

  2. Great photos Ragen, you look great and I only wish I had half your energy! I daren’t mention that to anyone medical because you just know the answer will be to lose weight and I totally disagree.

  4. Oooh, I looooooooooooove Lisa Kantor. She’s amazing. I think my boss was at that party thrown by Kantor & Kantor, actually. Perhaps you met him- highly entertaining man by the name of Chase? Anyway, that looks like a fantastic time! AND THAT SIGN IS WONDERFUL!!

  11. I don’t think I’ll be able to come because of my grandmas 95th (!) birthday extravaganza tomorrow, but if I can, which twisted root burger location will you be at?

  12. Oops, this commenter is a jackass. Not the kind of clever or interesting jackass who gets to help fund my work on the hatemail site (http://www.danceswithfat.com/hate), just the run of the mill, pitiably sad, spends her life making weak insults to strangers on the internet, kind of jackass. Now she’s a jackass who has been deleted. Sad for Eleanor.

    I have a wedding to go to on Friday and I’ll never find something that cute at Dillard’s. Needs must, right?
