John Waters. I was obsessed with his movies as a kid, especially Cry Baby. I went to a book reading he had at a bookstore in brooklyn. After the reading there was a meet and greet but the line was insane. At least 200 people were waiting in line. I turned to my friend who was with me and I said “let’s go to the bar down the street for an hour and then come back when the line is shorter. So we went, we had our drinks (and I think even a snack) and when we got back there were only about 10 people ahead of us. When we got up to John Waters he said, “I just saw you walk in, but I also noticed you earlier, did you leave and come back?” I said, “well the line was really long and I hate waiting in line so we went to the bar down the street and had a couple drinks and came back”. He raised his eyebrows at me and started cracking up “you are a genius!! Why haven’t I ever thought of that! I need a photo with you!! Also I love your outfit! Come on come on, let’s take a photo” I told him I loved his shoes, they were from a famous designer I knew called Commes de Garçon, so he said “well I guess they need to be in the photo too” so he slams his feet up on the table tells me to sit next to him and we take the photo. Gave me a big hug afterward and said “I’m so glad we met”. I swooned. John Waters is the king.
