HAPPY HOLIDAYS DEAR READERS!

Do you remember when I went SOUTH to LOS ANGELES back in OCTOBER?

I was SO LUCKY to attend the CBS filming of THE CAROL BURNETT 50TH ANNIVERSARY SHOW!

Well, GUESS WHAT?

I’M IN THE SHOW!!!!!!

WELL, IN THE AUDIENCE that’s IN THE SHOW!!!!

WITH MY CELL PHONE………I’m the ONLY ONE snapping PHOTOS!!!!!!!!!!

YIKES!!!!

NAILED as my COUSIN BARB SAID as she TEXTED me to say “I JUST SAW YOU ON TV!!!!!!”

“AND BUSTED WITH YOUR CAMERA PHONE AT THE 20 MINUTE MARK!”

OH, GOSH……..NOT the PROPER LADY LIKE THING TO BE CAUGHT DOING amongst ALL THOSE STARS!!!!!!!!

NOT VERY LA CONTESSA like either…………………..

I’ll take THE SCOLDING!

I HAD SO MUCH FUN!

STILL ON A HIGH from ALL of you who emailed or TEXTED THAT NIGHT saying I SAW YOU AND SANDRA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

MY STARS WERE ALIGNED THAT MONTH in MORE ways than ONE!

 

TOM SELLECK and I having a GOOD LAUGH!

Me looking at Robert SALLIN.

 

HERE we are CLOSE UP!

I assume it was staged as TOM asked CAROL A QUESTION on

 HEAVY PETTING on THE FIRST DATE?

HER RESPONSE MADE THE LAUGHTER!

IT DEPENDED UPON THE DOG…………

HERE SHE IS TALKING TO TOM!

DO you know they both lived in HAWAII?

WHY AM I THE ONLY ONE LOOKING THE OTHER WAY!!!!!!?

FOUR ROWS UP MIDDLE………….SEE MY PROFILE?

 

HERE I AM NAILED with CELL phone in HAND!

NEXT TO ME IS THE GORGEOUS SANDRA SALLIN who’s husband got me into THE SHOW!

NEXT TO HER Is THE GORGEOUS SLIM PALEY of the BLOG WORLD!

(HER NOSE DOES NOT LOOK LIKE THIS IN REAL LIFE!SOMETHING HAPPENED WHEN THE PHOTO WAS SNAPPED FROM THE VIDEO TAPE ON THE TV SCREEN! SHE IS KNOCK OUT GORGEOUS!!!!!!!!!!!She only ate .5 of ONE COOKIE!How can you eat just a HALF?!!!I need LESSONS!

THAN we have her HUSBAND who is Dennis Michael Miller.He is an American stand-up comedian, talk show host, political commentator, sports commentator, actor, and television and radio personality. HE IS A BIG DEAL!Some lady delivered home made COOKIES to him before the show started!Everyone in THAT STUDIO knew HIM!There were A LOT of HELLO’s and mini conversations.

ALL SO MUCH FUN!

It was a NIGHT TO BE~HOLD!

 

 

 

 

Other NEWS on MY RADAR was walking out of the FITTING ROOM in BERKELEY, CALIFORNIA this past week to this DELIGHTFUL WOMAN who recognized me RIGHT AWAY from INSTAGRAM!!!She was wearing BRYN WALKER from HEAD TO TOE and even had on ANGELA CAPUTI bracelets!!!!!!I HAVE THE SAME!

Her hands went to her MOUTH and she couldn’t stop SMILING!!

I asked WHO ARE YOU ON INSTAGRAM?

HER answer”I don’t Know!”

I just LOOK! ( I call that an IG STALKER!!!)

Than I said, Who am I on INSTAGRAM?

Her answer, “I DON”T KNOW BUT YOU ARE THE GRANDMAMA OF BANKSY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”

YEP………….she knew ALL about the ANIMALS…………….the only WRONG bit of information was she thought I lived in SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA!

I HAVE HER PHONE NUMBER NOW AND YOU CAN BET I WILL INVITE HER FOR DINNER TO MEET THE BEASTIES and THE ITALIAN!

PHOTOS to COME in the NEW YEAR!

I had MORE ENCOUNTERS over the weekend in a few ANTIQUE SHOPS!

I was RECOGNIZED for MY Blog. This one. THE one and only one I DO, that you are READING NOW!

THE VINTAGE CONTESSA.NET

I was HUGGED and THANKED for what I DO!!!!!!!!!

Which I have to say just BLOWS ME AWAY!

MY DEAR FRIEND who was with me on this venture said,” I know you and Read YOU, but I just GOT IT!

YOU BRING JOY ELIZABETH!

WHICH IS A HUGE COMPLIMENT I have to SAY…….I’m just being ME!

Which is FUNNY to me because I think my VOICEMAIL on MY CELL PHONE says OH JOY, when you ring me!!!!!!

WHICH has been there for YEARS and most likely will NEVER CHANGE!

BECAUSE

I HAVE JOY when YOU ring ME!

Plus, I donot know how to change it!
