Clare in Vegas - More Responses & Some New Vignettes

It sure is weird why only your bold text disappears
when we do a reply. We have to paste it back in:

THAT BOY BETTER BE GOOD TO OUR CLARE! *chuckles* You did say that you
had pictures of them together didn't you? You were planning on
putting them up right? I would love to see the man who has stolen
Clare's heart away. In reference to "their" homes. I am assuming that
they have been living together!? That is totally cool. And it seems
like you got a pretty good deal of information out of them about
their relationship. Will they be telling more? Such as wedding info
(I believe you already covered that, but..) and family plans, like I
know she really wants to have a family...and if he is with her..I am
assuming that he does too, right?! Anyways, thanks so much for the
abundance of info. as usual. Glad to hear that they are doing great.
And I think that it is really cute that they are very affectionate
with one another. I take it that they were that way during your
little vacation?! That is so cute!

Can't put up the 3 photos of them together until they send us
the Egyptian photoshoot images they took (see our original post)
on the day (apparently ) he popped the question in early Nov 2004.

If you note the text for the Camden Toy photo- with Clare in the
background, we had to crop Brian out of that one on the left. Clare
is talking to him. Until we examined the image we didn't even realize
he was in the edges of it.

The other two, as we said, were poses for us to put up when we got
the Egyptian photos as they were formally announcing their engagement
publicly. Hopefully it won't be too long. But we got no date - nor
a wedding date. Except Clare did say that her family kept pressing
them to set a date.

Clare was somewhat reluctant to sent photos of when she and a model
squeezed between the bars to King Tut's tomb in Egypt so that Brian
and the other guy with the model could take photos of them posing
(and clowning) beside the actual gold sarcophagus. Brian had 'bribed'
the caretakers to allow Clare and the other girl to squeeze thru the
bars.

Clare was worried that the caretakers, who were only taking care of
their families, or she & Brian, would get into trouble. We told her
we really wanted those photos - but it's Clare's decision.

We'll see...

We have about 15 handwritten pages of stuff we talked about, mostly
during the 3 hour dinner that lasted until almost 11 PM Saturday
night. This will be put into vignettes with the existing photos and,
soon, the selected ones from Froggy's events CD.

We took no photos in the restaurant. Too busy talking and
occasionally eating. Clare said that from the age of 7 until 19
(at NYU) she was a vegan, but always ate cheese anyway. At times,
as a teen, she was down to a Mary-Kate Olsen-sh 87 pounds.

It was only after she got the Wendy's mascot job at 14, and made
commercials with Wendy's founder Dave Thomas, that they discovered
that she was a vegetarian. And didn't eat their hamburgers.

Her mascot days ended abruptly, Clare said, when puberty kicked
in all the way.

Also, that for 2 years (8-9 years old or so, we think) she would
only eat with chopsticks.

And she's allergic to shellfish, but not to milk - which she never
has drank since being weaned from breast milk. She drank juices only
after that. Grape juice, etc., with her solid foods.

We'd earlier noted (Toronto) that she didn't eat or drink any milk
product except lots of cheese. The homemade granola cereal that she
had in Cairo on the photoshoot she told us about - she eats it dry...

>In reference to "their" homes. I am assuming that they have been
>living together!?

When we went to Fusion May 2004, Clare had just recently moved out of
a years long rooming with BIO's Bianca Kalich - as she confirmed in
our site interview with her.

She said she was living in a house now.

It appears that was probably when they started living together - OUR
deduction only. And the Feb 2005 move to their L.A. Sherman Oaks home
was from that first house. Clare said that the larger home was
originally built in 1951 - but with the price of homes in L.A., we
assume that it was rebuilt several times since then.

Clare said she intends to put in a pool.

Because she mentioned having been back to the Dallas area home
as far back as maybe (we interpret) several (or a few) years, we
deduce again that that was the one area and home that they could be
together without revealing their relationship to the outside world.

>family...and if he is with her..I am assuming that he does too,
>right?!

Actually, we and Brian were talking about what we'd done for the
Columbus gallery. How we waited for kids of all ages to come to
Clare's table. And then shot like mad, knowing we'd get Clare in
great candids working with the kids.

He seemed quite pleased with Clare being so taken with kids.
And our highlighting her with them so much.

Incidentally, the Stacey Keathley we noted at the bottom of
Clare & Stacey's "Kids 4 Kids" card from Columbus - She's Brian's
older sister, he said.

-More later in the full Clare Vignettes on the site.
Probably this weekend when we put up the first of the
formal gallery and await Froggy's official CD for us. Which is
more comprehensive then the regular attendee's photo CD.

-We're also in the process of adding the Pittsburgh event & links to
Clare's 2005 schedule on the site. LJ said that Clare had so much fun
she's already committed to a redo event in early December 2005. So
we'll add that also.

LJ was asking about suggestions. We wanted Clare's friend Emilie
de Ravin (Roswell, LOST) to at least be asked. Though Clare said
she'd approach Emilie (they are both managed by DGM)about us
meeting and possibly interviewing her when we come in days early
(& leave late) for the late July L.A. Angel Bash event to visit
Clare & Brian. Hey, she said yes...
