Since i had another friend (Thanks Kimb!!) asking about another one of my facts, i thought i would explain!
How i met Jay Leno, from the Tonight show or my Brush with Fame!! lol
i became a HUGE Howard Stern fan back in 1986 or 87 and my second husband (together 13 years) took me to as many live Stern events as possible since we lived in the Philly (PA) area and Stern was just in NY, he did alot of personal appearances in the beginning. One year, when he came to Philly for a book signing, i ( ex-hubby & son too) were in the massive audience. i would have fun easing my way through the crowd, to the front of the stage (being small really comes in handy sometimes lol) while ex-hubby stood with the movie camera (from the Flintstone age, so big and bulky). at one point, while standing with my son, the ex called over to me and pointed out someone walking down through the crowd, right towards me!!! it was Jay Leno and he didn't have an entourage or bodyguards!!!! there he was, just walking towards me, in his Indian Harley jacket, and hardly anyone is noticing him!!!! well i could hardly resist and i am NOT a big Leno fan! lol as he passed me by, i yelled "Mr. Leno, Mr. Leno!" and he kept walking. Then finally desperation set in and out came a bellowing "JAY!" with that he turned around, seeing me in my little sun dress, he approached me with a smile and his hand extended. my knees went to jello and NO audible words came out LOL i was a mushy puddle and he says, "Well, how are you doing?" LOL i was astounded that this man, who passed EVERYONE else, has stopped to chat with me and i cannot form two words OR look him in his OH SOOO BLUE eyes!! LOL as i tried to form some form of a syllable, he gives my son's head a pat and rub, asks how he is, DS answers him, no problem, making me soo proud and feel even more silly! lol and with that Jay told me to enjoy my day and turned to leave. i was FLYING!!! LOL now i am sure that if i could have been able to form a sentence, i would have asked if he was going to see Stern, which i KNOW he was and would have asked if i could have gone with him and you know, i think to this day, that Jay would have said yes and i would have been OFF like a shot in the dark! lol so it is best that i couldn't speak, so i had a great day with my son and my ex and a WONDERFUL memory for life!
i hope you enjoyed my day in Philly and how i met a STAR! lol
I LOVE your visits, they always start my day with a smile!!! so thank you for visiting and as always, have a BEAUTIFUL day!!! HUGS! :D
