[13_jane]

Hi all

I've just been to a meeting, and we were all asked to tell our claims to fame!! but one had to be real and one had to be fictious!!

so here's mine:

I danced on a really bad 1980's tv show!!

and

Daniel Craig personally wants me as his next Bond girl!! (in my dreams!!!! lol)

So how about everyone else???? Whats yours?? hehe!!

I can unwrap a starburst with my tongue, and tie cherry stems into knots with my tongue...however these are not atkins friendly so I'm looking for some replacements! LOL

Um...OK for a real one, I performed at the Detroit International Jazz Festival.

Re: What is everyones claime to fame???

ooooo...I like this one I have a few...

-- I know Aerosmith - was good friends with Tommy Hamilton (the bass player) and used to listen to them all "practice" in the 70's. Yup - they are THAT old!

-- I once fixed lunch for President Jimmy Carter's mother. She's dead now, you know. It wasn't my cooking.

-- A girlfriend and I once snuck into a Harry Chapin concert during intermission. (lots aren't going to know who he is, but he was big stuff in the 70's -- remember the song "Circles"?). We sat way in the back. The lights went down for the concert to start back up and a guy came in and sat down beside me. He leaned over and asked me how I liked the concert so far. I said, Welll..don't tell anybody but we just snuck in. He laughed. And got up and walked up on stage...it was Harry Chapin.

The band LOVIN' SPOONFUL came to my house. Yeah, lots won't know them either..LOL


A few more but those are the main ones.

Cool subject!!! Keep it going! I love reading these!

True: I had a radio show in the early 1980's and met practically every single band that passed through Minneapolis. I've danced on speaker stacks in front of hundreds of crazy drunk partygoers at First Avenue. I've had my bare hands on a buck-naked Raoul Bova (Under the Tuscan Sun) - I was the movie's massage therapist!

False: I'm really an uptight, arrogant, cold biatch . . . People think the darned things about me!

Jane x,

I'm curious as to what kind of meeting you are going to? It sounds like fun!

I was going to list something I did 30 years ago... and it just feels so unreal like that person isn't even me anymore. This aging stuff has really got me freaked out lately! How did I get to be 45 eeeeek!

Re: What is everyones claime to fame???

I was in Joseph and The Amazing Techinicolor Dreamcoat with Donny Osmond when it toured in Minneapolis, MN.

I was good friends in high school with Kenny Chesney's current fiddle player.

I've written a best selling novel and people respect my highly for what I have to say.

Um, ok that last one isn't true....yet.

Hi Sadie

Its actually a slimming type of club - we all meet once a week to discuss how we've managed, and how our weight losses are going!! I suppose sort of Slimming Anonomous!! lol

This week we had to get to know someone in the class we'd never spoken to - so we had to ask all silly questions - it was really funny!

Some of the claims to fame were really funny!! one girl had thrown a celebrity footballer out of her bed!!! lol!!

Re: What is everyones claime to fame???

Hmm, I've got a couple:

True: I co-chaired Oregon's first easy-to-read voting guide when I was 21 (got 15,000 requests for it our first year). 25% of Oregonians are at the lowest level of literacy (a skill level too low to read a doctor's prescription or help a child with homework). I'm pretty proud of that one.

True: I worked with Art Alexakis (lead singer of Everclear) for an event - saved the voicemails he sent me for years.

False: I've published a book based on my parent's lives. It's halfway there - it's written, but I don't want to query publishers until my mother has passed away.

Re: What is everyones claime to fame???

I performed on stage for a week. 7 performances in total that week in front of an audience of 2000 people each time.

Re: What is everyones claime to fame???

I used to be neighbors with Tom Cruise's mom and step-dad. I was kind of friendly with his sister. I have spoken to him a few times on the phone

Re: What is everyones claime to fame???

I served Andre Agassi a club soda and had him pop off at me because my name tag read "Brook". He didn't think it was really my name and told me I spelled it wrong. (he was dating Brooke Shields at the time) I told him that yes, my name really is Brook, no it's not spelled incorrectly, and there are many differences between Brooke & I - the least of which was not the fact that I have *two* seperate and distinct eyebrows. Let's just say I didn't score points OR a tip. Putz.

I was interviewed on local television with a former ADBB member for removing all the weight I have with Atkins.

My Melting Page was google's number one hit if you type in "Atkins Inspiration" for a lonnnng time!

Re: What is everyones claime to fame???

I was Miss Manchester and Miss Carroll County in my younger, thinner, non-mom days.

I got a full scholarship to a private 4 year college based on academics and extra activities. The only person ever from my area to get this scholarship.

I once posed for Playboy, tastefully.


2 out of 3 are true. I'll let you pick the ones you think!

Re: What is everyones claime to fame???

Heather - the Full scholarship has to be the false one!! lol
