Why does every kid want to be famous when they grow up? Okay maybe that is not every kids goal, but it sure was mine.
I think I was introduced to this goal when I was introduced to the movie Annie.
Ever seen it? I’m currently watching it right now, don’t be too jealous.
Red head little orphan girl, hard knock life, finds a dog named Sandy, adopted by a bald Daddy Warbucks, crazy drunk orphanage owner tries to sabotage the happiness by dancing all sketchy with her bro (eww), climbs up some huge ladder and saved by a gypsy dude. All live happily ever after. Sound familiar?
Well let me tell you! I had this whole thing memorized to a T. Red dress, black shoes, heart locket, stuffed animal dog, and entire prop bag to prove it. I would act it all out, belt out the songs, nap during the boring part (I guess that is where I learned my love of naps), and even climb up my aunts couch during the intense chase scene. I may have thought I was Annie let’s be honest, an identity crisis as a 6 year old. Let’s keep the fact that this is all caught on tape a secret…humiliating in the least.
Boy was I destined for the big screen. The only thing I was lacking was a singing voice; I just figured my charm and good looks (ha!) would distract them from the fact that I can’t carry a tune… (If Ke$ha can sing, I can too right?).
Now that I look back on it, why in the world did I want to be famous? I’m almost convinced that I knew J Bieber was coming along and it was my only way to him. Yep, that has got to be the answer. J Bieber is always the answer.
So now that I’m 20, does that mean I can never be the little curly hair red head orphan? Yeah I guess so. Bummer. I guess that just leaves me to the drunk Ms. Hannigan? Broadway here I come!
And remember, You're never fully dressed without a smile!
