So umm, I was given the green light today to work on a publishing project with a great-big-huge-mega-famous-person. I am very excited. How excited? I immediately ran to the bathroom. Hey, you asked! Tonight I had drinks & snacks with mega-famous-person’s business advisor to review the plan and compare notes. I was halfway through my beer when the business dude dropped the bomb. Super-mega-famous-dude is filming a new media venture and they want to include the development process (business and creative) of the book. I spilled marinara sauce all over my tote bag. Carp. Schidt. If you think I don’t like to take STILL pictures imagine what kind of a tailspin I go in when you suggest moving film.
Schidt. Schidt. Schidt.
One of my few skills is to think fast – on my feet. I immediately pitched back “hey, wouldn’t it be cool if I was only ever on speakerphone like Charlie from Charlie’s Angels!?!?!” I did it with a lot of enthusiasm and opened my eyes really wide. I think they bought it.
In other less exciting news…I went on a ribbon bender at Michael’s last night. I also had a 40% off coupon so I bought more twinkle type letters. Gosh, I do love the twinkle type…maybe I could cover myself in twinkle type letters and distract the camera from my hips…
Congrats on the project!!! It is sooo exciting!!!! I hate when you spill something on yourself and then spend the rest of the time self conscious about it!!!! You are so good about taking pictures!!!!
That’s it. I am grabbing my coupon and getting twinkle letters tomorrow. I can’t take looking at yours any more!
So, is the Upstate Reality Show next on the table (and on the bag?) Longchamp or el Cheapo?
And yes, congrats on the famous dude. He’s in good hands!
It’s an old Banana Republic tote bag. Upstate Mom will oxy it for me and I’m sure it’ll be good as new.
Congrats on the project… and the twinkle letters. Not so much on the bag…
Can you write off bag as legitimate business expense?
Can you recreate the marinara incident for new media venture film? I would so pay to see that.
Did the marinara fall to the bag slow motion like?
Yay on the new deal and more twinkle letters.
Hey congratulations! Now quick, tell me, was that fish or chicken you were eating?
It was an order of calamari…and it was definitely slo-mo. I’m such a spaz.
Ah yes, the Condom of the Sea.
See, I was trying to make a reality-tv joke. Because you’re going to be Jessica Simpson, see?
(Hey, it could be worse. I could be making John Forsythe jokes. Although, now that I mention it, I can’t think of a one…)
Camera shyness aside, that’s fabulous news about the project!!
