I am a very good employee—for many reasons, but mostly because of this:
On Saturday, my friends and I ventured out to the Gordon Ramsay restaurant (yeaahhh, we roll like that) and guess who was sitting behind me? The one and only Tyra Banks, completely flawless with a headscarf with a giant pouf of gorgeous curls. That’s all I could really see, since turning around to gaze at her face would be a little rude, especially since she was in the middle of her roasted rack of Sonoma lamb. (She eats!!! She eats meat!!!!)
Plus, I had no idea it was her; the two (straight) guys in our little group were the first ones to recognize her and figure out who she was–even though they’ve never sat through a single episode of America’s Next Top Model. I had to take a “bathroom break” make sure they were right, because you always have to trust your own girly instincts when it comes to situations like this.
Here’s the thing. I could be making this all up since I don’t have any proof, but I don’t have any proof because I didn’t take a picture with Tyra.
Remember The WB rule of no staff photos with celebrities because we’re cooler than that? Yeah, well, I’m definitely cooler than that. Sure, it was a Saturday but just like our website, I like to be on the job, 24-7.
Tyra, you may be my favorite former-model-turned-talk-show-host, but I can’t put OUR reputation on the line for a photo with you. Though, in hindsight, a picture with America’s Forever Top Model would beat a photo with Apha Jay and Beta Jay anytime.
