Chloë Sevigny... in New York??

I saw Chloë Sevigny tonight. What are the odds? 1 in a 1,000? 1 in 1,000,000? Even worse than that? I knew she lived in New York, but now I know from direct experience. Chloë Sevigny unquestionably does live in New York City, folks. I know you don't want to hear that if you don't live here, but it's time for a little humble pie, New York haters.

More specifically, Chloë Sevigny lives near The Village Farm & Grocery, the store in the East Village where I saw her. What the heck is someone like that doing in a place like this?? That's what I should have said. But actually, maybe it's best I didn't; it's not a bad place, so she might have thought I was implying she was too trashy for a high-end grocery store. Not a good start.

Let me back up a sec. I was at Village Farm & Grocery with Nicole and Natalie. Nicole thought she recognized Chloë Sevigny from the holes in her jeans, which exposed her apparently distinct knees.

I was skeptical (what would Chloë Sevigny  be doing in a place like that?), but since Chloë Sevigny is quite possibly the most beautiful model of her generation if not all time, I decided to take a look.

At first, I couldn't tell because she was facing away from me, talking to what seemed to be a very lame dude. All I could tell was that she was a woman with a prominent nose, but that could be a lot of people. "Foiled," I thought. So I went around the aisle to come at her from the direction she was facing, but now she was looking in the direction of where I was before! "Foiled again," I thought.

Then she started to move to another aisle. So I went all the way around to come up the other end of that aisle, and this time it worked. She had even lost her dude. I walked toward her, and she walked toward me, and we looked at each other right in the eyes. 

Not a big deal for me, but I think our little moment might have shaken Chloë Sevigny to the point where she was questioning what she's doing with her life. "Is modeling really my destiny? And why am I with this lame dude?" she seemed to wonder. I haven't had this big an effect on a celebrity since I saw Claire Danes at Neil Labute's The Shape of Things back in 2001.

Granted, Claire Danes is an actress and Chloë Sevigny is merely a model. But still, it was cool enough to merit a blog entry.

Read her Wikipedia entry, and you'll get the joke.

A model, not an actress? She was in The Last Days of Disco. And is currently on HBO's Big Love. I ain't no nitpicker, but this confused me!
