15 Minutes
They say everyone gets 15 minutes of fame. I think mine was today. And actually, it was a strangely ordinary day.
I got to be in a Lenny Kravitz video.
It's supposed to be out around the first week of April, I can't wait. The storyline of the video is basically a parody about the ridiculously excessive lives of rock stars. You know - sex, drugs, alcohol, etc. (No, that's not where I come in.)
Toward the end of the video, it's Lenny on stage in a weird leather fringed shoulder harness and a pinstriped suit. (The beaded necklace he has on kept getting tangled in the mic cord. I don't care for the new straight hair, but his belt was hot. He's a lot smaller in person than I imagined - not Prince size, but small.)
Anyway, if it doesn't end up on the cutting room floor. . . There will be an instant where he's on his knees on stage, looks up, points to the balcony and says, "I see you up there girl." That's me.
There were about a thousand extras on the floor, but there were seven of us in the balcony. My classmate, his brother, me, and a couple of the boyfriends of models on stage.
My classmate's wife is the head video producer for Virgin records. She is so cool. (and was a total sweetheart for letting me tag along!) In the past month she's done videos for Courtney Love, Janet Jackson and now Lenny.
What a day.
