I met Leslie Jordan

[strandinthewind]

I was at a gala tonight and met Leslie Jordan - he is about 4'10" and EXACTLY like the characters he plays, which include Karen's tiny nemesis "Beverley Leslie" on Will and Grace (I smell Gin and regret - why it must be Karen Walker) - the one who played pool with Karen in a bet to get Rosario, etc.

He also played Brother Boy in Sordid Lives.

I took a picture with him sitting on my knee - again, I am 6'4" :laugh: :laugh:

My life somtimes . . . :nod:

I always pictured Deb and you both as being tall. Hmmm.... I'm only 5'2" and I'm used to being shorter than everyone. :laugh:

When we met up with Wondergirl & Seteca at the Dallas HRC in 2003, Christy was taller than Deb...I am tall, Just not rather swift (ie-Face buster on the top stair of the HRC!) :thumbsup:

He's in the funniest Will and Grace ever in that episode where Karen is at the party by herself drinking gin at the bar. I forget the event but their banter was hilarious!

This link was such a tease. I was thinking there would be a picture of the little gnome in your lap.

It is forthcoming. The photographer at the event said he would email me the pic. soon. When I get it - I will post - it should be very Gulliver and the Lilipucians (sp.?) :laugh: :laugh:

Me, too. :lol:

That's one visual that cracks my sorry ass up.

I forgot (AND HOW COULD I :eek: ) that Celia Costas - Producer of Angels in America (http://www.hbo.com/films/angelsinamerica/cast/costas.html ) - was at this soiree as well - she received an award for the show. She was an INCREDIBLE woman. I got to talk to her for about five minutes. I was amazed at her wit, intelligence and willingness to talk about her work in a polite way. She was also very funny. I asked her waht Streep was like and she responded she was a doll, etc. I asked her if Streep liked doing the three characters and she said yes. I then said Streep looked like Bea Aurther (Streep - http://www.hbo.com/films/angelsinamerica/cast/streep.html - Bea - http://www.beatricearthur.com/ ) and she laughed. What an amazing and great woman I am proud to have met!!!!!!!!

Hey Jason, who have you met that was a total a-hole? I'm curious. LOL

I have not met THAT many people and the ones I have met have been ususally in a social setting that seems to warrant civility.

You can be short and not too swift, either. I fell flat on my face going down the stairs to the underground when I was in London. I thought, "Yep, I'm representing America well!" :laugh:

I was projected to be 5'6" at age two. So much for scientific prediction. :lol: Although if I would have been taller, I'd probably have much more trouble...I have scoliosis.

yeah - I don't know what happend - everyone else in my family is tall - except for my mom - guess my sister and I have her to thank for our short plumpness :nod:

I remember being tested in middle school for scoliosis...but have never actually known what it is...

And yeah - I'm not so swift either - I went to the symphony a couple of weeks ago - and was wearing some high heeled boots - with a lovely dress...well the bathroom was down a flight of stairs - so I happily went downstairs - but one boot got caught on the stair carpet...i totally fell down the stairs...it was really embarassing..:nod:

My mom is only 5'1", so I know I take after her.

Scoliosis is the curvature of the spine....mine has a slight "S" shape. In more severe cases, you have to wear a back brace or have surgery. Since mine was mild, and because I'm short and had stopped growing by the time I was diagnosed, I really don't have to do anything.

Oh man that must have really sucked. My roommate fell down a flight of stairs in her bridesmaid dress, the hazards of fashion... :shrug:
