Wham, Baby!
Two separate social situations in the past week, his 40th birthday party last weekend and his book signing party last night, have both produced attractive, vivacious women approaching me to ask whether anyone has every told me I look like George Michael.
What?
Of course with all his recent publicity, the trysts in the parks with fugly truckers, the sleeping in the car thing, I wasn't sure how to take the question. Well, that's not true, I knew how to take it if they meant, "did I know that I look like the recent George Michael", but they clarified they were talking about the post-Wham, solo George Michael.
So in the spirit of honesty, I will reveal a few things. The first is that even back in my late teens/early 20's, people would mention more times than I care to admit I favored GM. Every time I've ever played that who-I-remind-you-of celebrity game where you have a mystery celeb taped to your back and you go around asking people questions to deduce who they picked for you, inevitably I always get GM.
The second thing is that while I dont' actually see any similarities myself, I would be an idiot not to take this as a compliment. GM, back in his zenith of stardom, wasn't such a bad looking guy. In fact, his "Father Figure" video is one of my all-time favorites because I think he's a hot looking homo mofo. Now where did I store my big, dangly crucifix earring?
I can remember the first time I ever saw one of his videos, back when MTV finally made its way into the Midwestern Bible Belt. I think it was a Wham video, and I distinctly remember my Mom sighing and saying, "He's too pretty to be a man." Super white teeth, perfectly feathered blond hair... So pretty! So it was a compliment, I'd say.
Don't feel bad, I used to get Lou Costello.
Boy, the electricity between George and that model is just crackling, isn't it? Heh. She's got shoulders like a linebacker, though. The common thread of the women I dated was definitely an "athletic build". Go figure.
I think you're way hotter than GM.
Hey, I always got "Skippy" from Family Ties. All those people who said that are dead now, of course.
LOL... Who said you look like George Michael at my party?
Just please tell me we don't ever have to worry about you singing Careless Whisper, I HATE that song!
four words for GM:
