Watching Goldie looking at art would be cool....literally running into Kurt would almost certainly give me a heart attack.
That man is goddamn national treasure.
The Scene: intermission at a show at BAM, a good many years ago.
I was wandering the streets of New York alone, waiting for the boyfriend I was visiting to get off work. I was in a pissy mood, my feet hurt, and I'd been alone all day, and I was fucking over being surrounded by people, so I ducked down a side street behind a bunch of theaters in that part of the Broadway area. I…
They filmed the courthouse scene of People vs Larry Flynt in the town I lived in. I was working at the best restaurant in town and my co worker is a descendent of William Faulkner. Woody is a huge Faulkner fan and wanted to hang out with her so we got to chill with him after closing. Also, same night, Courtney walks…
I met John Ritter in a bar and he asked me to hold his beer. Then he immediately yelled, "BARTENDER! THIS KID IS GETTING DRUNK OVER HERE!!", which made everyone in the bar turn and look, and me blush like crazy (I was 11). Then he bought me a water... which, errm.. was free. Because water. Also because open bar..…
Mine's not very exciting. When I was studying abroad in Paris, my art history class took a trip to the musee d'orsay. We were in a room with Vincent Van Gogh paintings when in walks Goldie Hawn surrounded by her troop of bored looking children. Goldie Hawn was very impressed with Van Gogh for what it's worth, I saw…
Already posted, but I almost forgot about that time I blew Ben Affleck in a car.
It's not insane per se but it was the coolest thing ever! I've been chronically ill since 4. Loads of kidney problems, autoimmune disorders, etc. A lot of pain. A lot of sleepless nights. That's how I got into old movies. If you're in pain & awake at 4am TCM is the only thing on. I LOVE old movies. I pray to Bogart &…
Better late than never, and most definitely should've posted this story sooner but here it goes. I do promise this will make you smile.
I spent an incredibly surreal Father's Day dinner seated with my parents at a table next to OJ Simpson, his older daughter, the two kids he had with Nicole Brown, his mother, and some girlfriend that was probably younger than his oldest daughter.
All you New Yorkers with your "I was waiting tables and in walked so-and-so" stories. Well I was in Boone fucking North Carolina working 3rd shift at the Waffle Express (a Waffle House wannabe, if you can imagine) when in walks Wilford Brimley, the Quaker Oats man. He ordered an egg salad sandwich and a coffee and…
That is rad. Janene Garafolo came into my salon once. I looked over and saw a co worker talking to a client. He told her that he needed to trim more, because her ends were really dry. So dry that her ends were a different color from her roots. I looked over and nodded, because he was right. Her ends were hella…
I told this story before but it makes me giggle so I'll tell it again.
I had a strange encounter with Tom Waits. Is there any other kind?
Aw, thank you. I hate even typing that word but there wasn't any way I was just going to sit back and watch that shit happening.
I wanted to add to the positive wedding dress stories.
I vividly remember the only time I went dress shopping (yes, some straight guys have a sense of style/fashion too and I have a thing for wedding dresses) and was a bit surprised when I didn't get kicked out.
I can barely read these articles. My own wedding made me so crazy that I started breaking out in hives when I would put on dresses. We eloped. My mother in law was furious. We relive it every year because my husband took over the planning and we...got married in Vegas on his parents 30th anniversary. Every year I get…
My close friend is getting married for the second time this summer, and took her mother (along with me and two female cousins) dress shopping here in Toronto last September. When my friend emerged from the dressing room in the first two or three dresses, her mother said, in a variation on the following: (very loudly)…
