Tag, I’m It.

August 31, 2008 by WendyB

Fashionfillers tagged me to write six random facts about myself. Hopefully I’m not repeating anything I’ve said before.

  1. I don’t like going to the movies unless I’m convinced I’m going to see something exceptional. (We saw Man on Wire last week and it was exceptional. See it!)
  2. I’ve seen Madonna at least once during every tour she’s done since 1985. I’m going twice in October.
  3. The fact that I like Madonna despite her kabbalah-ness doesn’t mean you should talk to me about your cult du jour at cocktail parties. I’m not into mind-control/big-donation/justifying-my-insane-existence organizations run by insurance salesmen and/or aliens. Last year, some dude at a bad party in L.A. was telling me how he was originally into yoga, but then he found kabbalah and it changed his life. It was such a stereotypical L.A. thing to say that I thought he was joking, so I laughed, only to realize he meant it.
  4. I am so thankful for elevators and air conditioning.
  5. I schedule a lot of my blog posts ahead of time which is good because…
  6. … I’m in St. Tropez right now, attending a wedding.

    Aha – so that’s the helicopter ride you were not looking forward to. I think I’d be less helicopter reticent myself if I was going to St Tropez though!

    I saw Tropic Thunder on YOUR recommendation>>> HIGH-LAR-IOUS!!! tom cruise was amazaing (that's not something I've ever said before) he was disgusting, I loved it!

    St. Tropez? damn girl, I'm proud of you for breaking out of your shell! Mr. B must be dragging you behind him on his world travels.

    Prunella, I would adopt you but I am busy trying to get the friends who invited us here to adopt me.
    PPIEW, funny you bring up MrB’s travels. This was a classic MrB trip. Left on Thursday, got here Friday, returning Monday. Luckily I am skipping his trip to Missouri where he leaves Wednesday, goes to a meeting Thursday morning and leaves for the airport from the meeting. Whew!

    View from a helicopter? Are you an international spy? If so, you probably can’t tell me, so that question is pretty dumb in retrospect.

    st. tropez??? please post your outfits.

    kiss!

    p.s. I hate people who give L.A. a bad name.

    p.p.s I think you’d be the perfect Madonna concert playmate. Well, you and Rupal.
