pixiecrinkleI think I'm eternally doomed to know/date people who become famous, at least tangentially.
First, we had the editor ex, who popped up here a few months back, then there's my friend Rob who is a TV writer now, etc. etc. And the icing on the cake, my college bf, who got discovered as a model and worked the runways in Tokyo, Milan, New York and elsewhere, and who graced the pages of GQ and Details and the like in Prada ads a couple of years ago.
I just found him on myspace, where he also has a band/. They seem to be legit--have played both Knitting Factory and CBGBs.
I'm glad for him, but I hope all this fame around me isn't ruining my own odds of success. *
*Not that I equate fame with success by any means, but you know, I just wonder if being associated with successful people has any bearing on one's own possibilities for similar success. Like how I think it would be impossible for me to become a pop star with my own name, because there's a particularly skanky one with the same last name as me already. Not that I sing, but ....I'm babbling.
