Hey, kids! I just discovered a website called CelebSafari.com [1] where you can post photos of yourself with celebrities. It’s fun!

Having been “PR person to the stars” on behalf of Target Corporation for several years, I don’t get as starstruck as some folks when I encounter a celebrity, but I still like having my picture taken with ‘em! To wit: right now on CelebSafari.com, you can view pix of me with Mo Rocca [2], star of The Daily Show and Court TV (and of course author of All the Presidents’ Pets [3]) and mischievous Gary Baseman [4], the world-famous artist whose illustrations you know from the board game Cranium [5]. The more times a photo is viewed, the higher it is in the rankings, and because I have competition in my genes, I want to end up on top! So please view me and vote for me!

Next I’ll have to delve into my past and dig up those pre-digital* celebrity photos of me with recording artists Amy Grant [6] and Clint Black [7] (mmm, mmm, MMM, short but CUTE!), entertainer Shari Lewis [8], TV/movie star Brooke Shields [9], actor/singer Davey Jones [10] of The Monkees [11] fame, former U.S. Senators Bob Dole [12], Dave Durenberger [13] and Rudy Boschwitz [14], and assorted other Senators and Congressmen from my intern days on Capitol Hill, actor/producer/director Rob Reiner [15], and former First Lady Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton [16] from the White House Conference on Child Care [17] that I helped to coordinate in 1997.

I could drop more names, I suppose, but I would rather you go to the website and vote for me! The Oscars [18] are coming up and I want to win Best Picture!
