Deconstructing Posh, And A 'Grease' Fan Experience
A lot of people have been saying things like, "I thought Posh was such a bitch... she seems cool." For the record, and I can't always say this, I saw the self-deprecating, fun side of her when I watched her and David get interviewed by Ali G on the British version of his show. It was hysterical and Sacha Baron Cohen went WAY over the top with inappropriate questions and she handled them all with humor. She was fun and wild. David was embarrassed and sheepish.
I knew she was cool. Not only that, she is a good mom and her children are well mannered. She has the potential to be the perfect celebrity: one who is sexy, risqué, exotic and LOYAL to her spouse. Yes, all with her husband.
I have a quick story I have to share. On my last day of vacation in a little town, I went to an Italian restaurant. After dinner, the server corked our bottle of wine so we could take it home. She left it on the table.
At the table behind me, I heard a group of New York accented guys talking about Broadway shows they were dying to see. Oddly.
They mentioned 'GREASE' was the one they most wanted to see because of the NBC reality show that found the two leads. I couldn't resist: I stepped over and said 'Hi.' They loved it; I took photos with them, had a couple laughs and left them charmed and shocked. My wife and I chuckled on the way out to the car.
I left the half bottle of wine on the table.
I went back for the wine (it was expensive) and when I returned it was gone. The server had a horrified look on her face when I asked for the wine. Finally, she managed to tell me that Paulie and his Broadway loving buddies had told her that I insisted they have it.
I looked over and there they were, sucking down my vino. Paulie caught my glare and buried his head in his hands.
His buddy next to him, noticing the kitchen workers coming out to watch the train wreck, motioned frantically for me to come over. When I did he pulled a 100-dollar bill out and begged me to accept in lieu.
I called the server over and ordered a new bottle of the same wine and slapped it on their bill.
They apologized a hundred times. I laughed my way out the door.
It's nice to hear that Posh isn't the "bitch" some people make her out to be.
I agree with you that she is perhaps the perfect celebrity:
- Bloggers love her
- She has a great sense of humour (that I wasn't aware of before last month)
- She's married to perhaps one the hottest men in the world (second only to MY hubby).
- She's always dressed to kill
- Both she and Becks seem to put their children and marriage ahead of everything else.
The fact that she and David are in a healthy marriage makes them stand-out. They surived the British press, I hope they can survive the American press.
I think Posh is a wonderful person. But you know what I always wonder? How she could stay in those high heels ALL DAY LONG!!
