Famous people
Pud,
Have you ever met a celebrity or someone famous before?
If so, what was your reaction?
Lily Disclaimer: People who don't know famous people are often jealous of people who do, and call them "name droppers" when they tell a story that happens to involve a famous person. One should only be considered a name-dropper if they talk about it incessantly. I'll assume Lily asked this question because she wanted to know the answer, and not because she wanted to call me a name-dropper. That said, i'm not gonna drop a lot of names.
Lily,
I'm lucky that I know and have met lots of famous people.
Famous for what?
I assume you're talking about entertainers. There's a misconception with famous entertainers (actors, musicians) that you have to "play it cool." That you're gonna turn them off if you act impressed.
Not true.
Everyone likes feeling that their work is appreciated -- especially entertainers who have lived their entire life trying to "be famous." If you ever meet a celebrity, don't be shy. Tell them they're awesome, whether you are a nobody or you're a superstar. After all, wouldn't you think it were cool if someone said you were awesome? Would it turn you off, or turn you on?
The latter.
Here are a few pics:
