burning questions?

“celebrities” who have been to my various workplaces in the last 10 years.

that i can remember at least….some i remember more than others.

-zac de la rocha -me, 16, working at jamba juice (1st job) circa summer 1999.  he had just finished playin some b-ball at the glendale YMCA and was wearing blue nike gym shorts.  ordered a hawaiian dream.  nice guy

-brandy - me, 17, also @ jamba.  what a fuckin’ beast.  had a weak ‘entourage’ and ordered the cheapest drink on the menu but modified it so much -add this, no that, double blended, blahblahblah- that it ended up being a cheap version of a more expensive drink.  like she can’t afford the extra 45 cents.

-guy from ‘parker lewis can’t lose’ - parker himself. me, 18, @ a shitty little local coffee shop.  was way lecherous to be looking at me the way he did.

-dr.drew - me, 19, working as a recepitionist at a vet hospital in pasadena.  his cat was being put down.  i took this ill-timed opportunity to tell him what a big fan i am/was.  nice guy/silver fox.

-robert blake- me, 20, @travel town musuem (i was an event planner….essentially kids birthdays).  this was RIGHT after he was on trial for killing his wife.  awk-ward.

-umm….memories from 21 to 23 are fuzzy.

-multiple scientologist actors including erika christensen, beck, jason dohring (whoever that is), and some others i don’t remember - me, 22/23?, @the salon i worked at in glendale (the owner was also a sci-psycho).  i’ll remain mute on these subjects for fear of xenu-related retaliation.

-aaron ruell aka Kip from Napoleon Dynamite.  me,23, @ sister salon in pasadena owned by the same sci-owner as above.  unassuming, soft spoken, and the exact opposite of prententious.

-kelly osbourne (during her stint in rehab a couple years ago) me, 23, same pasadena salon.  at this time people said i looked like her.  FUCKING HATED THAT.  she walked in, saw me, and walked out.  (back story - she copied my tattoo.  i had been ‘around’ her before with friends’ of friends’ of friends’, and she saw my angel wings….and got a pair of her own a week later.  hate that bitch.)

-billy ray cyrus, me, 23, same salon as above.  miley cyrus came too, but this is right before hannah montana became ‘big.’  we didn’t know who either of them were.  the whole family was really nice and he was a generous tipper.

-samaire armstrong, right after she finished her part on entourage.  me, 24, salonspa in SF close to union square.  she was obviously on something, like major painkillers or perhaps oxycontin.  her skin was horrible.  i sold her a bunch of products because she was so loopy.  nice, i guess, if not a little unreasonable.  had to have asst. pay for stuff because she thought we’d just give it to her.  uh, no…

-marissa mayer, google VP. me, 25 @ a different salonspa in SF.  regularly came in for 250 dollar facials. nice, but definitely a woman in control and used to getting her way.

-hawk, of america’s best dance crew and so you think you can dance?  me, 26, @ my current salon in studio city.  his hair is still ridiculous and his GF was pretty plain jane.

-as previously posted about, katherine moennig aka shane on the L word.  me 26 @ current place.  disheveled, looking like the morning after a long drunk-ish night.  didn’t want to give her name (i have to ask everyone, even if i know who the hell you are.)

i know there’s a few more i have forgotten.
