Pole Celebrity - Enchanted
I have always said if I ever meet any Poling Celebrities I would be rendered speechless and that people should just introduce me as "Deb - our 'special' friend", while I make guttural noises, avoided eye contact, and waiver between blushing and drooling.
I hope I'm painting you a picture of a dribbling idiot, because that was my expectation.
Turns out I'm completely wrong about that!
No, I don't lose the ability to speak, it's the exact opposite in fact.
I gush, I blurt, I speak in quick sentences trying to impart as much information in as short a period of time as I can. I follow thought pathways only I know about and only I know what direction I'm heading in with the blurting, gushing, and rambling. Oh, and I do it all at double speed. AND I can hear myself doing it, the sensible part of my brain is saying "Breathe girlfriend, slow, be cool," and my inner idiot, who seems to control my mouth in times of stress, just gushes every piece of information I've been retaining that I think the celebrity should know... and know now!
I know this for a fact actually because today I met ENCHANTED... *scream*
Tiffany, Ruth (Enchanted), and me...
I attended the Studio's open day today, had signed up for the 90 minute Stretch session at the bargain price of $10. Ridiculous price for such a huge amount of time and info spent stretching. Enchanted held a doubles workshop before the stretch class and I expected them to bug out quick smart once it was over. They didn't.
They did the stretch class as well!
I tried to be cool, I tried not to be obvious. I did look, wanted to see how flexy they were in comparison to me, yes I can be a competitive shit and you know that. I made a bit of chit chat with them, all the while I wanted to scream, "DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA HOW AWESOME YOU BOTH ARE?" The sensible part of my brain thought, "Best not".
After Stretch was over I was having that internal struggle... do I 'be cool' and leave them alone, or do I walk up and say hello? This battle lasted a few minutes, I felt turmoil, I was torn, then I thought, "Will I have this opportunity again?"
So caution was thrown out and I walked up and my mouth just went off. Somewhere in amongst my complimenting rant I asked for a photo, they so kindly complied. So I have photographic proof I met them and I touched them... I touched ENCHANTED, I gushed at Enchanted, I blabbed on, I think snippets of me appeared in amongst it all, I don't know. By this stage with all the rambling, lack of oxygen getting to my brain because I was breathily banging on, things became an adrenaline blur. I don't really remember much now. Thank goodness for the photo.
Right, so first Pole Celebrity meet, gush, and photo done. Bring them on, I'm an experienced hand at celebrity-dom now, I'm cool.
