My darling Miss Steph isn't the only one hanging with the stars these days, I saw/talked with/got autographs from a whole buttload of famous folk today! Mick and I made our semi-annual trek to Chiller. Tubby as I am nowadays it's a hoot to go to cons of this ilk because in this crowd I am one smokin' hot babe. No offense the freaks and geeks, delightful bunch that they are with their open enthusiasms and innocent pleasure in the gory and the weird, but it is an overwhelmingly male crowd. Males short on pulchritude and long on halitosis. A quick celeb rundown: Mickey Dolenz is ADORABLE! Kind, affable and still has that goofy smile. Never found Bill Daily or Richard Kiel, dammit all. And I'm actually relieved Susan Olsen took a miss, I know darn well I would have burst into tears to meet a Brady. The Bradys were my family back in the day. A half hour of fun, togetherness and plain old normal niceness- things so removed from my miserable hellhole childhood that to meet one of the cast and try to thank her would be impossible for me to do without breaking down and bawling like a doofus. Mick swears I exude a 'famous' vibe myself and doesn't wonder the celebs are so nice and chatty with me because on some level they think I'm one of them, but meeting a Brady would blow that cool of mine to smithereens. I'd blubber, gawk and stutter like a drooling fool. Mock if you like. Imagine being laid back and chill while shooting the breeze with Academy award nominees and other big time movie stars but reduced to idiocy by someone who'd been on a dorky cheeseball TV show over 30 years ago. True though. Anyhow, along with hobnobbing we got some fantastic buys with the vendors. Mick got a few fun pieces for his Creature from the Black Lagoon collection and I treated myself to a pair of wee beribboned barrettes adorned with sweet little charms that look like switchblades. Just the thing for my next PTA meeting.
