She had her hair in curlers,and was wearing house slippers. And while decades-ago me was a bit shocked, since this was pre-internet and I was young and silly and had built up a mental picture of her as looking like the Wesley Dennis illos of Wiild Horse Annie, I was still totally thrilled.<br /><br />The moral of the story is that your fella is right: even if you're perfectly correct in your judgement: Good, Lord, I look horrible! If you run into a fan looking that way, not only will she not care, but if you're like the gracious Mrs. Henry (who signed a bookmark for me) you will have given her a happy memory that she will recount to another neat young lady 40 years later (yes, I am that old. Sigh.)<br /><br />Godspeed.The Overgrown Hobbithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09806927514541692971noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1724594058209899258.post-23720784551937866292015-12-22T16:22:38.667-05:002015-12-22T16:22:38.667-05:00Must find you!!!

But if I do, and I do happen to see you somewhere, I'd probably just end up staring at you, thinking, "Is that her? No. Wait... maybe. It looks like her. No, why would it be? Yes it is... should I go say "HI?" No.. what if it's not her? No.. It's not her. But, it looks like her. Is John with her? No. No, it's not her, then. Well, maybe he's in the bathroom. Maybe I'll follow her until I see him. No, that's creepy. Don't do that. It's not her."<br /><br />You'll feel the awkwardness and probably run away. Then, realizing it really was you, I'd reach my hand in your direction and scream, "NO! Jennnn! Come back and love me!" <br /><br />*and scene*<br /><br />--Piper P from Washington StateAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1724594058209899258.post-31802496506072103292015-12-21T10:14:02.762-05:002015-12-21T10:14:02.762-05:00When my husband and I met you a couple years ago a...When my husband and I met you a couple years ago at Magic Kingdom, I was in my full-fledged sweaty frizzy touristy glory, and you looked super cute and put together.

I'm always amazed how posting what I consider embarrassing, unflattering photos of myself (which my husband always assures me are the cutest) get the most positive comments. I think people relate more to the awkward & less polished things in life. Thanks for being you.

I've been convinced I'd make an utter fool of myself, but this gives me a whole new perspective. I guess it never occurred to me that things can be awkward on the part of the one being greeted. Mind = blown.<br />Also, if I ever met you in this situation I think I would probably immediately feel relieved that I wasn't the only one in the store who'd forgotten to brush their hair that day.
