well, i've been waiting for the calls and offers to start flooding in, and today it happened. i was offered my first endorsement deal!
i picked my car up from the dealer (had to take it in to have the ipod kit installed.) i was starving and it was a long drive home. so i reluctantly went through the wendy's drive-thru. i saw something called "the baconator" advertised.
a peak into the mind of glittergirl at the drive-thru: oh god, that baconator can't be good!!!! no, no, no, get something healthy.... but bacon is yummy! no, you've been talking about trying to eat better, now man up and get a stinkin' chicken sandwich, grilled and no mayo!!! f*ck it all!!!! ok, fine!!!!"
i pull around to collect my healthy, sad sandwich and the girl looks at me and yells, "hey! you're the girl from tv! i saw the ads! you had stomach surgery! wow....... how'd ya get to be on the news? is that monica robins as cool as she seems???"
i stammer and stutter...... "um, yeah....monica was really fun to meet, down to earth and all. but are ya sure it was me you saw? i mean, i got a haircut and all!" (i know, i don't make any sense.) she tells me she watched the story because a friend had the surgery and had "an awful time of it", and that "she'd remember my face anywhere."
"oh yeah, you've got a face anyone would remember! you better get used to this! good thing you came here to wendy's, since it's waaay better here!!!!"
i scowl & giggle and ask her to please, when she tells her friends about this, to tell them that i ordered the damned grilled chicken sandwich with no mayo!!!!

correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought your story started off with the fact that you "have to watch everything you eat"....yeah, no pressure there! can't wait for the followup. pictures of you in a hat, trenchcoat and glasses, scarfing down a baconator in the parking lot of a wendy's ;-)
ReplyDeleteGreat picture!! Your hair looks good, you haven't photo-shopped it to sh*t, and you aren't wincing in anyway. Very snazzy!!
ReplyDeleteuc freak- wow, i cannot believe you've given me a compliment.
ReplyDeletebut somehow it makes me feel dirty....like i should go photoshop the pic, give myself a lazy eye or mustache....
just so you know, when i snapped this pic, my nails looked horrible!
copax- yes, i am going to go from monica robins to carl monday. i keep imagining him in his trenchcoat, filming me eating cheesy tots on the drive in!
fyi- i have not had cheesy tots in ages. i might be breaking the addiction!
Actually, the girl at the Wendy's drive thru WAS Carl Monday. In disguise.
ReplyDelete/he's that good.
wow, he had me fooled into thinking he was a heavy-set girl in her mid-20's with too much purple eye makeup on!
ReplyDeleteit's ok, his next assignment is to investigate the state of my sea-monkeys over at the old job!
SIX SLICES OF BACON????? and yah, what about those sea monkeys? Do we have to send in the humane society for a spot raid?
ReplyDeleteThat's one damn fine haircut ya got! (something about your blog just gets me to swearing, damn it!)
ReplyDeleteRemember Brandon at the Rasputina concert and he said something like "Damn, you've got the face of a moon-pie. I would kill for your face!"
ReplyDeletebrandon said, "you've got a beautiful face, like a moonpie or a weird chinese drawing. i would kill for a face like yours." then i put my fist in his mouth and you video taped it.
ReplyDeletetypical night for me... LOL!
blueyonder- yes, i encourgage all swearing!!!!
