Met many, but that's because the family are all in telly.
Infant....
The Smurfs: I rode a special roundabout w/ them in the basement of John Lewis. I was very shocked when I saw myself on Tiswas a coupla weeks later.
When I were 6.....
Adam Ant: I think I've already mentioned that Mater produced most of his early vids (they may look crap now, but in a good way - I'm tres proud) and that meant he was always about her office. Seemed very nice.
Annicka(?) Rice: Crap english "celeb", but lovely. We had Tea.
Princess Margaret: Mater was filming her. My twin bro and I were to present her w/ a bouquet of flowers. Instead we had a fight. She thought it was all very adorable, I'm sure. As payment, received 'Walrus Man' and Luke in X-Wing gear
The Mini-Pops: Definitely one for the brits. Mike Mansfield offered my brother and I 50 quid (or, alternatively, 'Death Star Droid' and 'Snaggletooth') to appear on stage w/ them and bob our heads to one of their sexy numbers. The Mini-Pops scared me backstage by basically being stage school kids and can-canning. The whole experience was made doubly worse by the fact that my mother's secretary sussed that I was in love w/ one of them and promptly told the whole crew. Her name was Sarah (I think) and, later, she appeared on a Rice Krispies ad. I loved that ad, but refused, point blank, Mini-Pop stardom.
Boney M: I was in one of their videos w/ my cousins and my bro. A less well known tune about saving rainforests. I remember asking the make-up girl (who was black) what it was like in Africa w/ all the elephants. First time I'd ever upset and adult and I felt real bad (esp because I really fancied her).
David Essex: Weell, I didn't meet him, but I was in one of his vids. I received a black eye during filming, as a result of a nice "cuddly" sequence w/ my on-screen "Granny". She accidently smacked my face into my bro's rockhard head. My dog bit me in the face (another "cuddly" sequence gone wrong) and I cried. It was a disaster. Payment? Megatron.
When I were 10.........
Adam Faith: Always on the phone.
Terry Nutkins: He rang one day. Friends w/ Mum. She asked if I'd made a fuss over him - made it clear that I KNEW who he was. I didn't. It was Terry Nutkins, for God's sake..... The B-list boys just keep on coming.
When I were in my teens.....
Jean-Michel Jarre: Mum produced all his concerts for telly. He was very nice. They were friends. He payed for my Sega. His music sucks.
Others include Tony Slattery, Roland Rivron and a fighting pirate name of peg-leg jacktard. |
