• Pulling up on Rodeo on an Aston Martin.
• The first destination.
• It looked like the boutique had already pulled looks for Leslie.
• Leslie's choice, or in her words, "Winner, winner chicken dinner."

Last night, Rodeo Drive got an extended cameo on dating show The Bachelor. "Leslie deserves to be treated like a princess, so I'm so glad that I planned this date. I think it's every girl's dream to shop on Rodeo Drive," sayeth Sean, the blond-haired, bulging-biceps-having Bachelor on his second date of last night's episode. "You made my favorite movie come to life," says Leslie, his partner for the evening.

They proceed in to Badgley Mischka where an array of dresses are hung for her to try on for Sean, which is slightly awkward since they're pretty much total strangers. (FYI, Badgley Mischka is offering 20% off online with the code "BATCH" right now in honor of this product placement.) One is selected, and then the two move along to celebrity jeweler and Bachelor franchise engagement-ring crafter Neil Lane who blings out her neck with 120 carats of diamonds. We won't spoil the episode for those who haven't seen it yet, but we will say that there is a very awkward moment at the end of this date involving that Neil Lane necklace. Watch it here.
