Best. Celebrity. Sighting. Ever.
I know I haven’t posted recently. (The BF and I were on a relaxation-vacation in Miami. Promise to tell you all about it later!) But something so wonderful happened to me today, that my blogging silence must be broken.
I saw Mary-Kate Olsen, (half) alive, in the flesh!
I went to see ShaLisha perform Shakespeare in Central Park. After the show she pointed to a group of young kids having a picnic behind us, and she informed me that it was MKO and her posse. I took one look at the girl wearing the headband and the John Lennon sunglasses, and thought: “Nah, she’s way too fat to be Mary-Kate. She weighs at least 100lbs.”
But then I remembered that the latest issue of US Weekly had praised MKO for her recent “healthy” weight gain. I took a closer look, and sure enough… those thin, smirking lips sucking on that cigarette belonged to none other than my little Mary-K.
It’s sort of serendiptious that I should run into MKO today. (Do you like how I said “run into” as if I actually talked to/knew her?) Anycrap… Earlier this morning, during my improv group’s set at the 10th Annual Del Close Marathon, I made a MKO reference when someone gave my character a handful of sleeping pills. I’d like to think that if Mary-K was in the audience, she would have had a good enough sense of humor to laugh at my little joke.
Had I not just stepped in a pile of dog shit prior to spotting her, I might have dared to get a little closer to my MKO. But alas, instead I had to admire her from afar.
God bless. Love ya MKO.

That same posse used to come in and order 6 oatmeal cookies from me at Starbucks. I am pretty sure that they weren’t actually eating them. I could tell things were a little estranged between Ashley, who only wanted to do well in college, and MKO.
