Pine Street - Capitol Hill, Seattle
I happened to see Kele Okereke, the lead singer of Bloc Party, walking along Pine Street last Saturday. I was too shy to let on that I knew who he was; instead, I just asked if he'd let me take his photo for my fashion blog. He was kind enough to let me.

I think it's hilariously cute that you were too shy to mention the band, but had no problem asking to take a fashion photo. Did you notice him first because of who he is or what he was wearing?
Hi anon. - I noticed him first b/c of what he was wearing. I've made a habit of scanning the folks walking along Pike/Pine when I'm driving by, & I noticed him, then recognized him.
Believe me, it's still hard for me to approach strangers at all to ask to take their pics! I also broke one of my rules in this case, which is that I stopped him while he had his headphones on. But I figured at least I was doing it for a more useful reason than just pointing out something he already knows, like that he's "Kele from Bloc Party." :)
Wow Jasmine, your blog has been taken to a whole new level of righteous awesomeness- now you have rock stars too! i love love love.
Jeaaaaaalous.

Nice work, jasmine. I'm happy he ran into you, Seattle's ambassador of style :)
He smiled a lot more Sunday night, btw.
Hey k/j - I try to avoid the Paramount whenever possible, but I heard good things about their show. I saw them awhile back at Neumos, & they were very good.
AWESOME! You are one badass photographer. I wish you had snapped one of Matt Tong as well!

A very nice jacket. A nice shot.

oh wow, I am in love with him. I saw him last night at the Roseland in Portland and I had seen sim previously before a few years back and wow, I am at a lost for words by his utter beauty. Haha, but seriously, I am going to marry Kele Okereke. :) He kept rasing his arms and you could see the bottom inch of his stomach and awh!! seriously people... haha.
