My (Incredible) Five Minutes of Fame


Sooo ... last weekend we went to Strasbourg to see the Cirque du Soleil. If you don't know what that is, shame on you, it is one of the best live performances in the world. And, since a picture is worth more than my blabber, the story goes like this:

9'o clock in the morning ... still too early for a Saturday ... 
master paparazzo photographer catches the moment when the native woman meets the metro-sexual soon to be famous guy


driving to Strasbourg... yes, apparently 4 people can fit inside a Mini

lunchtime strikes, pork and cabbage ... last meal before becoming famous is not very exquisite ...

after lunch ... native woman and soon to be famous metro-sexual guy buy tasty TASTY treats

metro-sexual guy gets a taste of being famous as everyone wants one
... please feel free to salivate ...

afternoon ... arriving at Cirque du Soleil ... fameousness about to strike ...

Cirque du Soleil ... amazing paparazzo catches the moment 
when metro-sexual guy becomes FOREVER FAMOUS 
BY GETTING ON THE FREAKIN' CIRQUE DU SOLEIL STAGE !!!

... about 45 minutes and one million applause later around the parking lot ... famous metro-sexual guy is quite famous ...

Later in the night around town, some people giggle and point at the famous metro-sexual guy and he starts wondering if he will ever be able to go back to non-famous life ...

Even later in the night ... no-longer-metro-sexual guy dressed in pijamas goes silently to sleep next to the no-longer-native woman ... he knows his 5 minutes of fame are up ... it was quite nice ... amazing paparazzo is nowhere in sight to take a photo ...


 P.S. thanks to my master paparazzo friend for supplying me my famous photos

P.P.S. yes, the show war really really amazing ... and not only because I got on stage ...
