I Met Oprah... almost

(Photo Credit:  Q8 All In One Blog)

I rode back on a flight to the States with Caroline Hodge, the Oprah impersonator who gained so much attention, innocently shopping at The Avenues.  Ms. Hodge is a flight attendant and also works as a look-alike.  I asked her if she was at The Avenues Mall the other day.  She kind of rolled her eyes and said, "Were you there?"  I said, "No, but I read about it on the internet."  She later stopped by and I asked her how it was.  She said, "Well, I get paid to be an impersonator, but these people were like Oh My God."  She didn't elaborate, leading to my own speculation as to weather or not she was mobbed or asked for too many autographs or what.  I was flying Xanax Air and fell back into my coma right after our brief exchange.  I should have asked for more details.  Really nice lady.

I don't even remember much about my conversation with my really handsome flight attendant friend, Ghassan.  (You know I had to be out of it!)  Such a nice guy. (Did I mention that he was totally good looking too?)

No one else on the plane seemed to remark that they were being served by Oprah; even though her name tag said, "Oprah" on it.  Maybe people were being polite?  Maybe they thought there were hidden cameras somewhere and we were all about to be surprised with new cars?  Dunno.   THAT would have been cool.

Merry Christmas, Oprah Hodge.  It was lovely to have had the pleasure of your acquaintance.

If Oprah WINFREY reads this, here is my wish:  Would you kindly open a school for Bedoun children in Kuwait?  Bedoun means that they have no nationality. There are roughly 100,000 Bedoun people in Kuwait.   Kuwait doesn't recognize them of citizens and many can not enter school or get educations because they have no documentation.  Thank you.
