I never knew that I would get the opportunity to be a "celebrity impersonator." But I did! For New Year's Eve, I got to dress up as Ilsa Lund from Casablanca. (Ingrid Bergman) I got hired by Vogue Entertainment to play Ilsa at the Moroccan New Years Eve party at the Altantis Casino downtown! At first, I had no idea what was going on. I got to go out shopping to put together costumes and all I had to do was show up at 4:30 ready to go! I had to do a "meet and greet" where I just talked to people while they waited to go into the ballroom. So, me and "Humprey Bogart" played out parts and greeted people. I pretty much got paid to walk around a ballroom, dressed up, and do NOTHING. Humprey (Rick) took over and threw out all of the famous lines from the movie. ("Here's looking at you kid." Or "We'll always have Paris!" Or "It looks like this is going to be the beginning of a beautiful friendship.") and I would just stand there and smile. I believe I was told by Humprey, "They hear me but see you!" So, I was just the eye candy for the night. A pretty easy night that was alot of fun! After my gig got over, Don and Dana came and met up with me. Jodi had also gotten a gig over at the Peppermill and we went over and met her and rang in the New Year with her. Overall, a very memorable New Year's
Eve!
