Sigourney Weaver? In My Sister’s Work?

3 November 2007, 8:04 pm in General, Weirdness

It’s more likely than you think.

My dad showed up at my work this evening to collect me bearing some very interesting news. Apparently my sister’s work (a clothes store catering for young women, begins with G) was graced with the presence of Sigourney Weaver, who is currently in Wellywood filming Avatar.

But, according to information passed on to me by my dad, sis was one of the few in the store who knew who Weaver was, and why she was important. The funny thing was that all the “older” people were peering in through the windows, desperate to get a look at the celebrity chatting to my sister.

And yet another reason why Wellywood pwns. On Tuesday I shall take a photo of the fountain Elijah Wood peed in one time.

    I’ve had a girl crush on Sigourney since Alien and Ghostbusters. :P

    Is that the fountain they all peed in during the filming of LOTR?

    Yup, Bucket Fountain. :)

    I need to find my other LOTR photos, from the premieres and stuff.

    =-) Awesome for a celebrity to be seen at work.

    How could they not know who she was?!?!?!?

    On the other hand, I can see myself going, “Hm, that lady looks like Sigourney Weaver,” and then assume that it wasn’t really her and forget about it.

    On a side note - he’s pretty freaking old to be shopping in a clothing store for young women :P

    It makes me wonder what she was buying (sister won’t tell me) and if she was buying for someone else.

    And they really didn’t know who she was, didn’t recognise the name at all. One of the counter girls looked at my sister blankly and said, “Who’s Sigourney Weaver?”

    haha, just noticed my typo in my comment - I could have sworn I added an S in front of he’s.

    Se’s pretty freaking old to be shopping in a clothing store for young women.

    There.
    Oops!

    ahh, and now the H is gone!

    *gives up*

    Sigourney Weaver is awesome. I can’t believe the people your sister works with didn’t recognise her. :( Anywho, I have seen older woman wearing clothes from that store, so I’m not finding that too weird.

    Well, it turns out that she was buying for herself - her assistant came back to get some more things, and it seems Weaver is returning as she’s here for a few more weeks.
