celebrity? what celebrity?
well, it seems the success i had with finally actually recognising a celebrity in the wild was a fluke.
this morning, due to the usual production circus, we were given a call time that was an hour too early. so the camera operator & i decided to get coffee and sit outside at a nearby cafe. the table next to us included an exceptionally good-looking man in a beanie cap eating an exceptionally good-looking plate of food. of course i was fascinated.
by the food.
really.
"what is that delicious-looking dish you're about to enjoy?" i unhesitatingly asked beanie man, with a winning smile. now, one of the good things about being engaged (i.e. completely off the market) -- and believing that the man you're engaged to is pretty much the hottest guy EVER -- is that it gives one an incredible amount of confidence when it comes to chatting up men, exceptionally good-looking or otherwise.
"huevos rancheros," he replied, giving me an enormous grin. "you should give them a try."
"are you offering?" i jokingly said.
beanie man tipped his plate towards me and i swear he winked.
"thanks," i laughed, "but i'll get my own next time."
when we left the cafe, my camera operator asked me if i realised who we'd just had breakfast with.
"huh? who?" i asked. "you mean the good-looking beanie man?"
he rolled his eyes. "no wonder you had no problem talking to him."
seems i almost ate Fez's huevos. thanks, Wilmer Valderrama!

Ahhh...Erika. I love your stories about brushes with celebrities you don't recognize. I think you only have these brushes with celebrities becauses you don't recognize them. If you did recognize them you might not be so charmingly yourself.

I'll let you slide with Fex. I don't even think I would recognize him. But its a good story nonetheless - I appreciate the flirting with cute strangers aspects of it even more, since I have to argue that I'm involved with the hottest guy EVER. When i see him at the end of a long day or even in a photo I'm like damn he's good looking. But when in public I have no trouble talking to guys now, its more fun knowing it means absolutely nothing.

See I didn't even get his name right - I said Fex instead of Fez instead of Wilmer.

of course after this incident i had to google Wilmer, since i was previously unaware of him. two disturbing facts presented themselves:
1. he is the ex-boyfriend of Lindsey Lohan, and supposedly her "first love." eeeyyyyewwww.
2. he is the only person to have been successfully Punk'd THREE times. come on, Wilmer! you freakin' work with the host of that show! get a clue! you'd think after even just the first time he'd be a little smarter, but nooooo....
