It Is All About Meme

I just did a Meme a week ago thinking I was done with them forever, but I received this one as part of an award, & I love to receive awards. Plus, the rules were dictated… & I always play by the rules.


1. Thank the person who nominated you for this award.
Thank you to my new friend- the lovely & talented Philip in beautiful Hollywood, California


2. Copy the logo and place it on your blog.

It is rather homey & twee & not at all my taste, but is an award, & I do appreciate it. I was hoping for a certain statue of a little gold man, but I will take what I can get.

3. Link to the person who nominated you for this award.

Philip at Felix In Hollywood (check his fab blog out):

4. Name 7 things about yourself that people might find interesting.

a. I have never been to a funeral. In fact, I went the first 40 years of my life without ever seeing a dead person, & then on September 15th 1994, I saw 2 dead people within 2 hours.

b. I have appeared in over 150 full stage productions, 12 films, a score of print ads & 50+ voice-overs. I have worked with some major talents & important directors… & yet I walked away from it all 15 years ago when I inexplicably developed debilitating stage fright.

c. I studied piano from ages 6 to 17 & I studied & can still play the string bass.

d. I have no fear of spiders, snakes, bugs, water or the dark… but I am so frightened of hypodermic needles & syringes that I can pass out from looking at a picture of them.

e. I have been to 49 states (sorry, Alaska!) & 8 foreign countries.

f. L.A., circa 1974... I had sex, in the back of a limo, with a major singer/show biz personality. I won’t say who, but I have never been able to hear MOON RIVER & feel the same way again. Unfortunately, this is not my only starfuck story, but you can’t give it all away in a single meem.

g. Except for crabs ( thanks, Stanley!), I have never had an STD, despite being quite in-touch with my inner-slut.

5. Nominate 7 Kreativ Bloggers and post links to the 7 blogs you nominate.

6. Someone forget to post rule 6

7. Leave a comment on each of the blogs letting them know they have been nominated.
OK, I did it. I was thinking that the 7 chosen would just stop by & visit my place, but I said that I would follow the rules.
