I've had plenty of <A HREF="http://bluejeuls.blogspot.com/2008/08/its-crazy-out-there-man.html" REL="nofollow">celebs cross my path</A> that I had no idea about. My most recent encounter I found out who he was half-way through the flight we were on...but even then I didn't let on that I knew he was "Somebody". <BR/><BR/>I've had a few famous author encounters...which have just taught me that they're people too...and often seem to have a protective shell to insulate them from the nonstop barrage of inquiry and conversation that comes at them everywhere they turn. I think that would be hard to deal with after a while. Thank my buttons I'm not famous. Though I've had a few close encounters. I'll have to write about them someday.<BR/><BR/>♥Bluehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07019311467241458492noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1339261543193718354.post-84729867341982916832008-10-04T13:41:00.000+10:002008-10-04T13:41:00.000+10:00@ ytsl - well you know something about photography...@ ytsl - well you know something about photography which is why I go to your site.

The only time I've seen a "celebrity" since I've lived in MN (and not even one I idolized) I was too busy pretending I didn't see him or recognize him. It was Stedman Graham. So, yeah, not really a celebrity but I still didn't know if I should acknowledge him or leave him alone.Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01979925607834752536noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1339261543193718354.post-37360151219242629992008-10-03T23:17:00.000+10:002008-10-03T23:17:00.000+10:00@ Tiffany - thanks for dropping by, much appreciat...@ Tiffany - thanks for dropping by, much appreciated.

Your football players are big guys arent they even without the padding? I bet they find it hard to stay fit after they retire from football. He sounds a nice guy to come and talk to you though and I am glad you got to do that on behalf of your Dad.

Too afraid to approach, just shoot and run. lol!<BR/><BR/>I'm not really very star struck by anyone, but living so close to Dallas there is a BBQ restaurant not far from our house owned by Randy White (former Dallas Cowboy).<BR/><BR/>The hubby and I went and had lunch there one day. As we sat there and ate I could feel someone looking at me so I turned and there he was big as life, Randy White!!! Now when I say “big as life” I really mean it. I’ve never been that close to a pro football player in my life and he was a huge man. Not fat, just in shape, very tall and muscular. He came over to talk with us and all I kept thinking was how excited my Dad would have been and how I wish I could call him and tell him who we had met. Even more so I wish he could have been there.<BR/><BR/>My Dad passed away two years ago, my star struckness was on his behalf. He would have been thrilled!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1339261543193718354.post-22509263172883734602008-10-02T23:27:00.000+10:002008-10-02T23:27:00.000+10:00Hi Lilly, Did I say something wrong?

I left you a comment on your last post.<BR/><BR/>@ Meryl's musings - and the picture is a great one - I will have to keep on checking them out.<BR/><BR/>@ Jade - oh, Jean Claude - I heard he was really small - nah he doesnt do it for me either lol! <BR/><BR/>@ Leslie - oh I remember that Exhibition too - it was truly wonderful. I seem to remember Jane Ayers journals or something.Glad you posted the sorbet details too!<BR/><BR/>@ Pearl - ok well you have done well then in the star spotting. As for Jonny Depp - yes he is gorgeous alright. It's a wonder she could get the beer in the glass - I would have been shaking.<BR/><BR/>@ Nina - yes he is a vag painter but whoever wrote that wikipedia entry is a bit way off. His wife was his muse for most of her life before she retired in the 90s and has since past away. He has a new muse who took over after his wife retired. I just love his style but then I love yours also.<BR/><BR/>@ not the Rockefellars - wow, I guess you would get used to them where you live - Ben Affleck - he's lovely I think. Funny how they are normal people in one respect but as you say are larger than life nonetheless. I love your expression about them being 'in a bit more color' than the rest of us. True there are people like that. I will have to remember those words.

Ten years ago I put the old one that used ice cubes and salt into our last ever garage sale.<BR/><BR/>I got the one litre Krups from Good Guys for $70. Now I can have all the fancy ice creams I want, a day after I think them up. And I'm using canned or frozen fruit, until the summer fruit arrives in the shops.<BR/><BR/>P.S. I was an ebay book seller for a few years and I no longer frequent the old book stores - they seem to be full of my discards.

I think you handled it with finesse, not like me, who saw Kiefer Sutherland in Romania on some narrow street and shouted like some big demented freak: "OMG! What are you doing here?" as if we had been friends forever. He was kind enough to answer and I even got an autograph out of it. Moral of my story is that next time you meet some celebrity you admire, talk to them (not in my style obviously, you might risk chasing them away or even get beat up by bodyguards) because I have lerned that famous people are humble and love when a true admirer of their work presents his or her homage.Irina Nedelcuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10295697182562604606noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1339261543193718354.post-15505183336564883152008-10-01T18:28:00.000+10:002008-10-01T18:28:00.000+10:00Thanks for stopping by my blog -- come back for mo...Thanks for stopping by my blog -- come back for more!
