Meeting with Oprah is right on the nose

What's it like to meet your idol? Someone you've admired for so long and wished you could meet up close and personal, and just maybe have the chance to say something so witty and terrific that they would never forget you? Well,Get the latest Wholesale Cheap Celebrity Dresses Online and wedding news including editors' picks for celebrity wedding dresses. I'm not really sure. It was over so fast, I can hardly remember. That sums up my very brief encounter with Oprah Winfrey last April when she was in Montreal for her one-night show. People, friends, colleagues and readers all know about my fascination with Oprah. I have written about her countless times, quoted her, referred to her — you name it. And because The Gazette was one of the sponsors of her Canadian tour, I was blessed to have been given the opportunity to a VIP evening with Gazette contest winner, Kelly Nickerson, to attend a meet and greet before her sold-out Bell Centre performance. What stands out the most are the days and weeks leading up to the event. I was as giddy as a 5-year-old waiting for Santa.

The final day was spent running around with Kelly, who was equally excited to meet her; we were giggling like school girls attending a first dance, having hair and makeup done, manicure, drinks and dinner.The woman to the far right is wearing a typical Wholesale Cheap Mother of the Bride Dresses Online from 1929. Before we knew it, we were in a restaurant at the Bell Centre with about 500 other people, anxiously awaiting their one-on-one Oprah experience. The energy in that room was palpable. Before long, a line was forming for those who would get to meet her and have their photo taken. All I could think of was what I could possibly say to her that she had not heard before. Where were witty, terrific, funny words when I needed them?

As the women — and some men — went before me and my once-in-a-lifetime chance was coming ever closer, everything, it seems, went blank. I couldn't remember any of the things I had rehearsed in the days before. And then it was my turn. As I walked toward her, I was taken aback at how amazing she looked, resplendent in a shimmering green dress and that megawatt smile. I blurted out how much of a fan I was, that I loved spreading the message of O, how grateful I was that she got the world reading, how impressive it was she built a girls school in Africa and how we all have to find our true meaning here on earth. And then she threw her arm around my shoulder, we faced her photographer and had our moment frozen in time. And then it was over. But when asked what I remember most, I always say the same thing. Man does that woman smell good.
