I Saw Mischa Barton Last Night

Last night I went to my favorite dive in Silverlake, as I do every Wednesday night. Occasionally you’ll see a famous face there, but the bar is pretty far from Hollywood and not exactly low-key or private in that it’s usually packed with wasted 20-somethings after a certain hour. A small line had formed by the time I got there with my BFF Edward, so we hopped in the middle of the line where our friends were (normally I don’t do this, but fuck you.) Right when the bouncer was checking our IDs, I noticed a commotion toward the front of the bar. Then I saw a very familiar leopard print coat moving past me. It was Mischa, you guys. In her Burlington Coat Factory leopard print coat. And truth be told, that girl is very pretty in person. I’m not even going to play like she’s ugly or crazy looking. She’s really pretty in person.

So I was all, “Hey, Meesh!” Of course I’d never met her before, but she paused for a moment and stared at me all puzzled looking before saying, “hey” back and continuing to frump her way to the end of the line. Mischa Barton had to stand in line at a dive bar! And you know what? She was the only one who didn’t seem to mind. Her friends were begging the bouncer to let them in and saying things like, “You don’t know, she’s like… She’s really important,” and “I can’t believe you’re doing this to her.” It was pretty obnoxious, to say the least. Your famous friend can’t help you cut the line at the bar? Boo hoo, Charlie.

Mishmish must have bounced by the time her homies finally got in because I saw her desperate red-headed friend with the complaints inside about 20 minutes later, but there was no Mischa as far as I could see. I’m assuming she got tired of hearing her friend talk, too.

But yeah. I saw Mischa, you guys. She was pretty and she said hi to me and she was wearing that leopard print coat I love making fun of. Hollywood, man. Hollywood!

  • funny shit!! was it the Cha Cha Lounge?? or maybe the Short Stop? oooohhhh hollyweird.

    • LOL. Of course she would have! I thought it was funny she said hi to me (and maybe a little sad because she looked at me like she should know me but had no recollection), but she didn’t “win me over” or piss me off either way. She’s a beautiful girl, obviously! She’s an actress! She has to be to a certain degree!

  • Why would you “Meesh” her if you dont even know her? Lol I hate when people think theyre so important they call celebrities a shortened name. Youre not on a first name basis, she doesnt know you, why act all buddy buddy and nickname her?

    • I think it was a response to the irony of seeing a celeb in person that she bashes on a fairly regular basis and therefore is kind of familiar with, and at the same time knows that Mischa has no idea who she is.

    • Well, because I was drunk and I thought it would be funny. It was completely surreal that she was there. :)

  • this girl is ugly and a mess, the only reason she’s interesting is waiting to see when she end up od’ing or going into rehab so someone might notice her.
