Celebrity Spotting Pt.2
Marianne Faithfull of all people was in my store today.
I guess it’s not such a big deal, since she lives kinda locally (Wicklow), but, I mean, she was Mick Jagger’s main squeeze. The fucking Stones, man!
But anyway, she comes up to Denise, at the till beside mine. And then she started doing something that most celebrities tend not to do when they’re in public: she drew attention to herself, going on about how her CDs should be on a big display or some such nonsense for a couple of minutes, maybe more. It was pretty surreal. And slightly embarrassing. I mean, this is Marianne Faithfull we’re talking about here, not some drunk tramp off the street.
It only occured to me an hour or two later that I should have said something witty, yet bitchy, to shut her up.
Something about Mars bars, maybe.
