ORANGE – Conrad Frisch said the Lakers are his idols, so when the 12-year-old from Orange got a chance to meet two Laker Girls at a local Carl’s Jr. on Wednesday afternoon, Frisch showed his enthusiasm.
While many of the 100 or so fans stood between the Laker Girls with their arms at their sides for photos, Conrad wrapped them firmly around the cheerleaders’ waists.
“They’re so pretty, I couldn’t resist,” Conrad said.
The promotion is part of a community outreach by the Laker Girls, who are visiting 20 Carl’s Jr. locations throughout Los Angeles, Orange and Riverside counties through Saturday, April 7.
Fans who came to the third promotion received an autographed photo of the entire Laker Girls squad and Carl’s coupons.
Cesar Gonzalez of Placentia was first in line, arriving 15 minutes early.
“Not everybody gets to meet the Laker Girls every day,” said Gonzalez, 23.
Luis Aldana of Orange brought his 6-month-old son, Matthew. Father and son wore matching Lakers jerseys.
“It’s a memory for him,” the dad said. “We can show him this picture when he gets older and tell him that he got to take a picture with the Laker Girls.”
