Rock n' Roll Doggie FOB
I just came back from a book signing Christy Turlington did for her new yoga book (which is really very nicely done). She is so thin and pretty and looks very young, especially since her hair was in a ponytail. She wore a simple beige shift and of course, looked like a million dollars.
It went something like this:
(I walk up to the table where she's sitting).
Christy: Hi!
Diane: Hi, honey! How are you? (Honey? Yes, I tend to call people "honey," especially if they look younger than me. And she looked so young.)
Christy: I'm fine.
(Now's my chance to say something U2ey)
Diane: I've just got to ask you something...I saw in PEOPLE magazine that you were at Edge's wedding. Was it as beautiful as it looked.
Christy: It was lovely...it was beautiful.
(I take back the book. Christy is still smiling that camera-perfect smile...she doesn't look annoyed that I asked about Edge.)
Diane: Thank you, bye honey.
(I leave the store.)
Does meeting Christy Turlington mean that I'm now one degree of separation from Bono?!?!?
And speaking of the B-man...the woman waiting in front of me was telling her friends about how her son was in the Village and saw 5 supermodels get out of a jeep. Who else was in the jeep? You guessed it...King B. At which point of her story I said "NO!" like oh-God-someone-else-has-met-him-and-it-wasn't-me. These women all looked at me like I was insane, then the woman leaned in to her friends to tell the rest of the story so I wouldn't hear it. Whatta witch. But I did make out that her son told Bono that he should sing some song in concert; Bono thought about it and said "No, I've never sung that one," and said that he'd like to hear Joe Cocker do it. To which the witch's son (warlock?) said no, Bono should sing it. What song it was, I have no idea. Some people are so darned pretentious
Anyway, Christy seems really sweet, and I can see why Our Boys are besotted with her.

I would love to know someone who knows the members of U2 personally!
I met Michaelangelo from the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles when I was nine! 
) I think that's as close as I've been of knowing a famous person. And my mom has always claimed she's a distant relative of Jose Ferrer, the actor. I have never seen proof of that though
