truth. lie. OES opencall . most of y'all were wrong! HA!

Rate: 8 Flag

            I just know y’all have been holding on to your seats awaiting this valuable information. Without further ado….

  
  1. I received an award from Bill Clinton.

HA! Ha! This is true. I received an award for outstanding accomplishment in community development in 1987. Yep. Then Gov Bill presented the awards to 18 old men and me. I might have stood out just a tad. 2 weeks later I ran into Bill on a stairwell at a local convention facility. He and I….uno to uno. He immediately said “Hello Fab, How are you?” I blushed to high heaven and stood in awe that the man remembered my name. (He has a reputation for being good at remembering folks.) His, oh-so-blue eyes were piercing right through me. As he walked off, I swooned like a schoolgirl and took deep breaths to compose myself. Then I looked down and saw I was wearing a nametag.

 
  1. I was Miss Dallas in 19..something, something.
 

Only 5 of y’all guessed this to be a lie and y’all were RIGHT!!! Me? …..A beauty contestant? Get a grip! Never in a million years would I or have I entered a damn beauty contest…Mom use to swear I won a contest when I was 9 months old. But where’s the trophy? Never saw it, don’t believe it.

 

Cassiopia’s reasoning won a nod….”All Texas girls are required to enter beauty contests.” She’s right. But, I was too top heavy and too rebellious. Teehee. Poor Capt. Parrothead confused our disco days with a beauty contest. Capt – I was in pink, dancing to Dr disco tunes. That, dear Dr. Disco Capt., was a bar, not a beauty contest stage. It was the 70’s. We were ALL confused. And Lonnie is still in trouble for saying I was Miss Pine Bluff. UGH!

 3.      I’ve appeared on stage, in Los Vegas. 

True, y’all. Absolutely true. Caesar’s Palace. 8000 people in the audience.

 

I did a presentation that lasted a whopping 5 minutes. It was a business gig. Whoop-de-doo!

   

Special thanks to the Dog, for this little game. I spent way too much time, clicking back and forth yesterday, reading everyone’s truths and lies. As soon as I get this post up I’m off to see everyone’s answers. I think it’s great to share these little known facts with each other. Guess I won’t get anything done today, either.

 

Thanks OESHEEPDOG! As Randy Jackson, American Idol judge would say,”This was the bomb!”
