Here’s a cute story you might like.

I’ve been a fan of the Ballet for many years now and, together with my Ballet Buddies Yvonne and Sandra, we usually go to three or four Australian Ballet Company productions a year.

Well last night we went to see Destiny which was a program of 2 ballets, beautifully danced to magnificent music.

Anyway, after the production was over I decided I wanted a photo of the three of us. I had forgotten to bring my camera but I had my PDA. I knew that wasn’t going to get the best photo but it was better than nothing. So we found a handy spot in one of the foyers just in front of a suitable ballet poster. Just as I was going to ask a woman who was standing close by if she would take the picture of us, she moved off. So I moved on to a couple who were sitting on a bench. I approached and asked if one of them would mind taking the photo and the guy smiled and said he’d be happy to do it.

I take him over to the the other two and we line up for the cheesy grin. I couldn’t understand why Yvonne had gone all giggly all of a sudden. She said something like “We should be taking a photo of you.” And I’m thinking “What’s the matter with her? Why is the acting so weird?” At the same time another part of my brain is kicking in with the thought “Sh*t! That’s Daryl Somers!” Daryl Somers in the host of the Australian version of Dancing with the Stars, which is a very popular TV show in Australia.

Naturally the PDA wouldn’t work properly and we had to muck about trying to take a few before we got one that was half way decent. And he was thoroughly charming in his role as the photographer. He must have been wondering what kind of crazy fans we were because we just wanted him to take our picture, rather than trying to get a picture of us with him.

So whilst most people have photos of themselves taken with celebrities I suspect not many people can say they have a photo of themselves taken by a celebrity. So much cooler, don’t you think?
