What's Your Claim To Fame?.

[Cheese Specialist]

The Times did a piece on me a few years ago and I once licked Iggy Pop (although that's not what the piece was about! ).

I am sure there's another good one but it's excaped me for the minute...

Hmm.. my 'claims to fame' are pretty big stretches..but here goes:

*my first boyfriend was the nephew of Darryl Sittler (one of the great Canadian Hockey players ),

*my grandmother's cousin, Butch Martin, played on two Canadian Olympic Hockey teams! He won a bronze in '56 and silver in '60

*my other grandmother's distant cousin was a former Prime Minister of Canada

I think I really need to work on finding me some better claims to fame lol

Whoa, hang on there, back this thing up:

I once licked Iggy Pop

We need to hear this story.


I kissed Screaming Lord Sutch, I touched Shakin Stevens hand, I sat on Barbara Woodhouses lap (not all in the same day) and apparently, I am a relative of Wally Barnes (old Arsenal player).

I was on BBC radio this morning talking about my artwork.

You can listen to it here (8mb mp3)

Fabulous - just listened to the interview. I see your website has a lot more art on there now - I think your work is fanastic

mmmm my claim to fame ?

I met Nelson Mandela and shook his hand
I nannied for aristocratic families so met plenty of them and their cronies. Duchess of York, Prince Charles etc

Oh I forgot - I'm also closely related to "Piet Retief" a famous figure in the boer / zulu war (in South Africa). Him and all his men died a brutal death in a devious blood thirsty plot.

I could bore you allwith naming names of all the "stars" I've served whilst working at Heathrow, Gatwick and Birmingham airports,but I won't

My biggest claim to fame is my Paternal Grandmother (fathers' mother)
was a second cousin of the infamouse John Merrick. Sadly I have no claim to any of the story/film rights.
This also means there are some abnormal genes in my family (that explains some things )

When I was 20 I dated, for around 6 months, a now famouse (in the UK) television presenter. I'm not naming names, so don't ask, but she is reguarded as one of the top TV motoring journalists in the UK.

Oh, I forgot a couple, I work with Kevin Keegans brother

and I am mates with the brother of Sussex cricket captain Chris Adams (and I hate cricket).

It was at a festival a few years ago, and he was doing is usual jumping about and I was at the barrier. He came over to where I was to get people to sing, kiss the girls and so on so I took the opportunity to lick his stomach!!

As for why, well he's a god for a start!!!!!

Mmm....my claim to fame is barely a claim! I used to date a guy that played drums (as a backup when their regular drummer was out sick) for a group called Starland Vocal Band best known for their song "Afternoon Delight". Whoopee.

My Mom (RIP) however got to meet all kinds of famous people including Robert Redford, Paul Newman, Clint Eastwood, Martin Luther King, Robert Taylor, David Cassidy, Phyllis Diller, and Dick Clark. And when I say meet, she talked to them for some time and even had lunch with Phyllis Diller. Me? The biggest claim to fame in that regards is when I saw Hulk Hogan at the mall and nearly choked on my hamburger!

Hmm, well in junior high my dance group was on a telethon. In high school, the dance team manged to get on TV a few times as well. I was an extra in Disney's Mighty Ducks 3 (in the beginning of the movie, where the Ducks skate into the auditorium via the stage door, I'm up in the balcony, and unless you know where to look, you won't see me ). I've met some minor stars in my college days as a Campus Activities Junkie such as Goo Goo Dolls (did security detail on their buses for a concert on campus), Dead Eye Dick (pretty nice guys actually), Warren Brothers (stuck up, way high on themselves), Pauley Shore (not sure if I should admit that, but I must say, the dude is short), Frank Calliendo (comedian), Citizen King, Fourshadow (fun acapella group from Minnesota) and many more that most people probably haven't heard of.
Oh, and as a child I got to meet Jon Denver. He was in town for a charity event, Donkey Baseball. I don't remember much of it beyond what we have pictures of though.

Okay, not much of a claim to fame, but you asked.

uhhhhhhh....so cheese, have you been to the doctor for a checkup since then? I'd be severely concerned after licking a guy who has shot up gutter water.

sorry, forgot my claim to fame. At least my most recent seeing as I'm an actor.
Hmmm...don't you want to know?
