My friend and I saw Jill Biden today at

the Century City Plaza shopping complex!

We were walking (it's outdoors) towards the movie theatre and she and her security agents walked right passed us. I looked right at her and thought to myself, "man that looks like Jill Biden!" Sure enough, my friend grabbed my arm and said "That's Jill Biden!" She was walking kind of fast and had probably around six-seven security people with her.

A thrill for both of us....

It was so chill.....

People that had gone into the movie theatre at the time before us had to go though security checks (One of the ladies who was walking by us was telling us about it). She went to see that new Nicole Kidman movie. We went to see The Brutalist.


It was in the middle of the day on a Tuesday so not a lot of people were around....

Did she have on her long, black coat?
(I love that coat.)

And was her hair up or down?

Why do you think she was there?

I don't remember what she had on. Her hair was down.

We think she's in Los Angeles because President Biden was here for a National Monument designation event which was cancelled because of the high winds.

It really was so cool!

I've lived in L.A. since '88 and have seen a lot of celebrities but have NEVER seen a FLOTUS before! And she's absolutely one of my favorites!

and I've seen celebrities before and not just there .. It's exciting to see and even talk to them once in real life.
