My Celebrity Boo Boo

It was my second time to have had a celebrity on our flight. The first one was Ernest Hudson, who I really don't know. This time, it's somebody I know - Diana Ross on seat 1A from New York to Nashville.

I love her songs, and I was actually planning to watch her concert in Nashville the day after that flight. She boarded first with an escort, but I didn't recognize her initially.  When I asked for her service drink and asked my typical question if Nashville is home for her, she said that she's doing a concert. I got interested and right away checked the manifest and found her name. I got excited and asked Erica to take my photo with her, told her that I love her songs and was planning to watch her concert. Unfortunately, she hesitated and said that she doesn't do photos!  I was embarrassed but I thought I handled it well. I continued my duties boarding our passengers. Before take off, she borrowed my pen, then later tried to return it to me. I told her to keep it.  She didn't order any drink and didn't get any snack. I noticed she's was chewing her throat candy while inflight. After everybody have deplaned, I found all the candy wrappers on the floor!

This was my celebrity boo boo. She's a great singer with great songs. It was not a good experience for me, but I will let it go.  The good thing is, I didn't watch her concert.

Nevertheless, it was still a great 3 day trip with Erica. It was a memorable trip and I've had my lesson learned.
