Okay, so let’s talk about Eiko Roberts. I was doing some digging online, trying to find something new to watch, and I stumbled upon this name – Eiko Roberts. Turns out, she’s tied to Dave Roberts, the manager of the Los Angeles Dodgers. Apparently, she’s his mom, a Japanese woman who married an African-American Marine, Waymon Roberts, back in the ’60s. That’s a pretty cool backstory right there.
So, I started with a simple search about her. Found out she recently threw the ceremonial first pitch at a Dodgers game. She was wearing her son’s jersey, number 30 and all. It’s like one of those feel-good moments, you know? Mother and son, baseball, it’s all very heartwarming. And it got me thinking, what else is there about this woman?
I went down a bit of a rabbit hole, not gonna lie. There’s not a ton out there specifically about her, but I did find some discussions around a song related to “Jesus Christ Superstar.” People were going back and forth about the lyrics, the meaning, who produced it, stuff like that. It was connected to Eiko in some way but also a bit all over the place. Not exactly what I was looking for, but hey, it was interesting to see what people were talking about.
Then I found something that got my attention – a mention that Eiko is now on IndieFlix. Now, I’ve seen some interesting stuff on IndieFlix before, so I figured I’d check it out. I went over there and, sure enough, there she was. It looks like they have a film or documentary or something featuring her. I haven’t watched it yet, but it’s definitely on my list now.
Digging a Bit Deeper
While I was looking around, I also came across some stuff about costume design. Totally different topic, I know, but bear with me. There was this exhibition called ‘Fairy Tales’ that showcased some amazing costumes by Eiko Ishioka, who, from what I gather, is a big deal in the costume design world. These costumes were from a movie called “Mirror Mirror”, a “Snow White” adaptation. They looked absolutely incredible, like something straight out of a fairy tale, all detailed and luxurious.
It made me appreciate the artistry that goes into these kinds of things. And it got me thinking about how seemingly unrelated things can sometimes connect in weird ways. Like, I started looking for info on Eiko Roberts, the baseball manager’s mom, and ended up finding out about this amazing costume designer, Eiko Ishioka. Maybe it is just a coincidence of names, but it was fun to explore.
Here’s what I did, step-by-step:
- Started with a basic search for “Eiko Roberts”.
- Found out she’s Dave Roberts’ mom and threw the first pitch at a Dodgers game.
- Stumbled upon discussions about a song from “Jesus Christ Superstar” that was somehow related.
- Discovered that Eiko is featured on IndieFlix.
- Got sidetracked by some amazing costume designs by Eiko Ishioka in a “Fairy Tales” exhibition.
So, yeah, that was my little adventure exploring the name “Eiko Roberts.” I found some cool stuff, learned a bit about baseball, a bit about music, and a bit about costume design. It wasn’t exactly what I expected, but that’s the fun of exploring, right? You never know where you’ll end up. I still need to watch that IndieFlix thing, though. That’s next on my to-do list.
