i would never notice a reality tv star, and when they're pointed out to me i'm never quite sure to what extent i'm supposed to care.

then again, if mary vivien pearce or sylvia miles were to walk past us, most of my friends would probably respond the same way to me as i do to reality tv stars.

i saw her once walking around Manhattan, in Chelsea no less. I was coming home from work and I was all like, "i think that's that transgendered person all those org people are alwasy talking about..."

I also saw that comic from the show insomniac. His first name is David and I forget the rest of his name.

I've met the following celebrities at work:
Susan Sarandon (my favorite! so polite and respectful)
Jai and Tom from Queer Eye
Ethan Hawke
Some french lady who was in a movie with ethan hawke
Elisabeth Rohm from Law and Order
Mary Kate Olsen (she looked like a damned crack head, seriously)

Oooh, that reminds me the only people I do see & seem to recognize are from reality shows. Lame, huh? I saw Rob & Amber from Survivor & Amazing Race at LaGuardia and one of Trump's apprentices sat next to me at the airport too. She was checking her voice mail and writing notes down, I was totally trying to read them. And I saw another apprentice (Sean? the British guy) walking down Lexington.

they're like porn stars. even if i see them, i wouldn't recognize them on the street. it's like, i can recall what i had for dinner last night, but i can't remember every grain of rice. that was a bad analogy.

More I thought of:

Chyna (the wrestler)
Krackow from My-So Called Life
Redman

All at the same bar.

yes. i think so.

I saw that white guy from that from that rock band a couple of years back. Not sure his name but I think it was Aerosmith.

i saw steven tyler from aerosmith storm through a multiplex movie theater once. man, he's ROUGH looking in person.

Anx said:

Yeah, that's who it was. He was in VirginMegastore in Irving, Texas buying CD's with his bodyguard. I remember he picked up Mariah Carey's "Glitter" CD and snickered as he tossed it back on the shelf. The cashiers were having a heart attack. He just looked like some goofy, unshaven, doped up white guy to me.

Having navigated the waters of that "A"-List underworld, I will say that most of them were human.....I can run down about a thousand meetings really, but the one that sticks out in my mind is Jill Scott last week, and Laurence Fishburne when he was teasing my dog outside of that "high-end" grocery store on Fairfax and Sunset across from Rite-Aid. We actually had a nice conversation about 9/11.

I've been V.I.P. at superbowls and that is something to witness! I have Dennis Rodman to my right and Eddie George on my left both just chillin' and then I go to Jay-Z's and Alonzo Mourning's beach party in Miami kickin' with them and li'l ass Jermaine Dupri and my homeboy Curtis Martin is yelling my name...Dex..what the hell you doin here!

Then there is the time I smoked WestCoast Purple for the first time with a certain rapper while Jamie Foxx and Taye Diggs are throwing jokes at each other. I walked through Allen Iverson's entire entourage and told him I appreciate his attitude in dealing with the NBA powers that be and that I was a longtime fan of his game. When I walked away...he asked his crew...."who the fuck was that?"...I was crackin up...as they said....We thought you knew him! I guess my size does matter.

I just have been blessed to have mixed it up with Athletes, Actors/Actresses, Politicians, and found them all to be common folk...they just are in the public eye far too much for their comfort zones to be respected.

he was running through the multiplex when i saw him, looking all around like he was afraid he was gonna get mobbed. nobody was paying any attention to him! i was like, "look, there goes dude from aerosmith" and my friend was like "yup, there he goes."

I've met Steve Yzerman of the Red Wings.
He's very nice.
I made a Peanutbutter Cup Perfection for him.

i was sitting at a bar eatting some lunch and i was talking to this guy next to me... we started taking and ended up sitting together. were just talking and having a good time. when he got done he offered to buy my lunch i said "no" he said "cool" and left... when he did several people came up to me and asked how i knew him... i said 'we just met....why?' it was a very well know football player. i had no idea. but i wonder, what he thinks of the time he had lunch with some guy that never once asked him anything about sports.

Excellent....like I said...."They are just ordinary people" when you treat them as such....

DexMSR said:

yeah but i think sometimes they forget what that is like... and some (look at prince) totally lose touch.

SlamGlam said:

who was it????

DexMSR said:

I absolutely love this opening sentence.

Best Post Ever!

JasmineFire said:

New York experiences are so analogous sometimes.

I, too, saw her crossing the street in Chelsea on 14th & 7th a few months ago when I was headed towards Union Square.

I think she most likely lives in that area.

SlamGlam said:

I'd probably lose touch if I had people walking around dressing like me, impersonating me, stalking me, infatuated with me, staring at me, etc! Wouldn't you?
