I have been tagged for the Premio Memio Award (My new name for this Award because I think it rolls off the tongue more easily) by the very kind and creative Glenna at Your Fabric Place which is my Fabric Place too! (Especially for Amy Butler addicts like me.)
The Premio Memio is to list ten things about yourself which is a cool because Ten is a very cool number.
1. I like to give nicknames including the liberal use of acronyms to my blog buddies and pretty much any animal I meet. Gee, isn't that gripping information?
Now, to add a little fun and show my relief at having only 9 more items to go, the rest are some of my celebrity sightings both Big and Small, well, actually miniscule, that I've had.)
2. Mr. Muhammad Ali gave me his autograph in the baggage claim at Las Vegas Airport twenty years ago.
3. We flew with Michael Jordan from Miami, (he was in first class, I was in the cattle car), and I mistook him at first for Magic Johnson. My husband instantly corrected me. (I'm not a basketball fan, but hey, I got the initials right, right?)
4. We saw many of the cast of HBO's Entourage on our flight back from Hawaii last Spring. Can I just tell you they are all pretty short except for Kevin Dillon? Sadly, Adrien Grenier wasn’t part of the group. Sigh.
5. I got checked out by Mel Gibson at the Warners Brothers lot when I was visiting my cousin for lunch at their Commissary. (Which has great food btw because all these TV and Film people live on their stomachs, plus the long days, yada yada.)
6. David Leisure is a former neighbor whose children competed in our community swim league. He was a great announcer for the meets as you can well imagine.
7. Ann Jillian reached her career peak in the 1980’s with the TV show, “It’s A Living” and still looked great when I saw her 15 years ago at LAX airport.
8. Clive Pearse, the host of HGTV’s show, “Designed to Sell” is very nice and an animal lover too. I met him and Lisa LaPorta from the show when they redid our neighbors' house which still hasn't sold after 6 months on the market. If someone offers to renovate your house for a home improvement show, don't agree to it. It may look great on camera, but in person, it's a slap dash job.
9. I went to school with Sarah Jessica Parker and her brothers, Toby and Pippin. They lived up the street from us in Cincinnati until they moved to New York to pursue Sarah’s career. Smart move, Mrs.Forsthye.
10. We are lucky enough to be friends and neighbors with one of the most feared men in horror movies, Michael Myers aka Tyler Mane, star of Rob Zombie's Halloween. (Halloween 2 is coming out soon, so I'm very happy for Tyler and his family. Except I won't be seeing it, those kind of movies scare the bejeebers out of me.)
Hoped for future sightings-
And for my Twilight Fanatics, I mean Fans, I am on the lookout and carry my camera for Tyler Lautner sightings who plays Jacob in Twilight and lives in our fair city of Santa Clarita.
Please consider yourself tagged if you would like to play along. Also, please share any of your celebrity sightings. (My fellow Los Angelenos, Jason and Muppet Soul have a boatload of celebrity sightings and are downright cool about them. Well, Except the Divine Miss M, right, Jason??) Thank you so much and I just realized I consider my Bloggy Buddies, Stars in the Truest Sense of the Word.
