I use the term "celebrity" loosely here

September 28, 2006 ·

I haven’t had the chance to finish watching this week’s Project Runway. It is currently taunting me, waiting for me on DVR. I’ll get to it right after Greys’ Anatomy tonight. But until I do, here is a little Project Runway information.

Gulley called me last week to let me know that her sister Sarah had a celebrity sighting a few nights before while eating dinner in New York City.

Before I tell y’all who she saw, let me tell you a little about Sarah. She is Gulley’s younger sister by 8 years and she is our expert on all things fabulous. Sarah graduated from the University of Texas but we don’t hold it against her. After graduation, she moved to New York City and she’s so cool that she can just refer to it as the city. She worked for a big PR firm and met real celebrities like Delta Burke.

Gulley and I went to visit her in 2002 and she showed us all around New York. We went to every restaurant we could think of in hopes of spotting a celebrity. We did see the girl from the movie Simone and right now y’all are saying “who?” My point exactly. She also took us shopping on Canal Street to help us find THE perfect accessories for the upcoming season.

If we have a fashion question, Gulley will get on the horn with Sarah to get the answer. If we need to know anything slightly “hip” or trendy, you can guarantee that Gulley will call Sarah. She is like our very own Carrie Bradshaw, but younger and without any of the promiscuity.

Anyway, back to my original story. Sarah is now married and no longer lives in the city but she lives close enough to visit. She was there the other night having dinner and who did she see at the next table? Angela from Project Runway.

The first thing I wanted to know was what she was wearing and the answer was baggy cargo pants and clunky boots. No big shock there. I wonder if the cargo pants had those little rosettes on the bottom?

Thank you Sarah for keeping us in the big city loop and thanks for always being fabulous.

Who is Melanie?

Melanie ShankleMy name is Melanie and, in some strange twist of fate, I’m also known as Big Mama because I started this blog in July of 2006 when my daughter, Caroline, was not quite three years old and I was in the process of convincing her that BIG girls use the potty and BIG girls don’t have pacifiers, thus she thought BIG was the highest compliment in the land and began referring to me as BIG MAMA.Read More
