I may have mentioned on the blog my slight obsession with Marti Pellow, the lead singer from Wet Wet Wet. Their first album Popped in, Souled out was constantly on my record player (yes, it was vinyl for those of you who remember what that is) during my teens and they were the first band I saw live. Last year Marti starred in Evita the musical and a group of us went to see it at The New Wimbledon Theatre. Marti was amazing (as expected) and I couldn't resist waiting with all the other middle aged women at the stage door to catch an up close glimpse at the rugged Scot. I was definitely the youngest waiting which is some consolation to this tale! We waited what felt like forever as Marti was one of the last to leave the theatre (probably to try and avoid the throng of estrogen waiting for him) and then like lions on a gazelle he was attacked by a cloud of women vying for his autograph, photograph, children etc... I nearly didn't get into the frenzy but I thought sod it and threw decorum to the wind and after a few strategic side steps and elbows in my opponents weak spots I was at his side waiting for my turn. Bestie was poised armed with the camera and she got the shoot. Boom! Obviously now Marti has met me it is only a matter of time before he appears on my suburban doorstep to whisk my away to the giddy heights of post heroin addiction chic. Husband is aware of this fact but oddly he doesn't seem to worried about it...

Haha this is ace. Marty is still looking pretty dapper for his age too! Gosh I remember the singing comps my cousins and I used to have. To see who could sing Love is all around the best! LOL! x 13/5/2014 02:32:40 am
What a fab photo to have and keep. Your husband's reaction makes me smile 13/5/2014 06:35:13 am
He is clearly very happy to meet you in the photo (his search is over) - and as we all know, the camera never lies. I should pack a small bag now & leave it by the door (Marti will buy you a new more suitable wardrobe once you set up home in the Bahamas) so you can avoid any embarrassing scenes when your husband realises his error of judgement. Good luck, and please keep blogging between the marathon sex sessions I'm sure Marti has planned for you. 14/5/2014 03:59:14 am
Oh wow what a brilliant story! Sounds like you had the best night and how fantastic to meet the man himself. I remember Wet Wet Wet very well (because I'm old!). Wonderful post, thank you for sharing #whatsthestory 17/5/2014 09:29:04 am
Swoon!! Such a cool story... I'm still waiting to meet Andrew Ridgeley from Wham! Yip, I know he wasn't really the one to back in the talent stakes, but at least I crushed on the one who liked girls! #AllAboutYou 17/5/2014 12:39:44 pm
Somehow those twinkly eyes plus beard make him look quite kindly and a bit of a charmer too! Have hat at the ready for your big announcement ; ) Leave a Reply. |
