I THOUGHT WE WOULD BE FAMOUS

In college, my best friend Anne and myself had the brilliant idea to
start The Smock Shop. Specializing in "Three Piece Middle-Eastern
Wear", we would sell "smocks" to the growing number of Middle-Easterners
in America. Being slightly ethnocentric and poorly-versed on
Middle-Eastern culture as we were - it is quite possible that our idea
was less than PC, and our attempts to sell the idea nothing short of
offensive. But we were certain this was the idea that was going to lead
us to celebrity. A reality TV show about the inner-workings of The
Smock Shop would lead to our 15 minutes of fame, culminating with
alcohol problems, a stint in rehab, our own E! True Hollywood Story, and
finally - a life as D-list celebs on VH1s Best Week Ever. Yes, we had
it all figured out.
Today I am a 25 year old accountant living in Bemidji...where did I ever
go wrong?
