Brooke Shields Kissed Me!

I saw Brooke Shields again recently and it reminded me to share a story or two with you! I hope you had your name dropping basket ready to catch this one! :)

I first met Brooke Shields back in the day when I was working at the well known restaurant Serendipity 3. That place was famous for getting famous people to visit for the then 40 years it had been opened. Brooke would come in quite frequently either with friends or with her ex, Andre Agassi. She was always super sweet and remembered my name. There was a bit of an embarrassing moment with Andre and a candle once, but Brooke seemed to be on my side about it. 

Years, later. She became a semi-regular at another spot where I was employed. No, she didn't remember me from the other place though claims she remembered the candle story. Maybe she did but she's just so durn sweet and was probably just saying it to make me feel good. Either way, she's just awesome. 

One night (years ago), she was in with friends and we chatted for a minute. My birthday was the day before and a co-worker mentioned it to her. Without missing a beat, she leans over and plants one on my cheek and says "HAPPY BIRTHDAY!" 

She may or may not remember me now, but I'll always have that kiss. And the rash I got from not washing my cheek for months. And my rare copy of her hit film Brenda Starr.
