Fame and Fortune

[JollyApe]

What if you for some reason all of a sudden became internationally famous over night. Any scenario is a possibility. You get the role you auditioned for, write that book, make a scientific discovery that wins you the Nobel prize or gets to record that number one record. What would happen to you? Even though you have to be on galas and have to receive awards and party with the cool people"¦..

"¦.would you take time of your busy fame and fortune schedule to go online? Would you in any way act different? Would you go to your old online hangouts and chat with the people you used to talk to? Would you tell them who you were or would you keep you true identity hidden, playing Clark Kent?

So share with the rest of us your way to fame and fortune and tell us what would happen to your relationship to the BBers.

Yo, I was talking to Eps yesterday about winning the Nobel prize. I can't tell you why and what prize cause then it would be like throwing this wonderful and genius idea straight into the garbage.

But when we win the nobel prize for this particular scientific advance, I'm taking my prize money and buying a big pimped-up pink Hummer. Then me and Eps are gonna qruise around town being generally cool, seriously bling-blinged and drinking malt liquor. We'll be the envy of every ghetto-wannabe chick, going to award shows, movie premieres and cool parties in our gangsta style outfits.
We're also starting our own clothing line called 'Bootylicious Bitches' so eveybody can rock it Epo and Fran style.

I don't know about Epo, but I would go in total denyal and forget about everything that is BB and online friends... 😛

I'd never tell ANYONE online who I was...eh, ok, maybe some of my "special friends". But after I get that dream role I'd buy a house in the Garden District of New Orleans, 3 new cars (a green 2005 Mustang for me, surplus Humvee for Jim and a Prius to use in-town because who needs yet more air pollution), a new computer, quit college, and move Jim in with me.

I'd buy my mom and dad a new house, my dad a new Harley...maybe an old one....he likes those better...
Oh yeah, and I've have to buy a WHOLE new wardrobe. And a personal chef. Mmm, yummy food! I'd have a fragrance too, just so no one ever has to wear Britney Spears' hussy scent ever again. And I'd have shoes custom-made for me, so I never have to buy drag queen shoes again. Stupid size 12's.

But I'd have to keep going online or I'd go completely "snob" girl. Without BB, CouncilofElrond and HP Boards, I'd go completely nuts. I'd have to get a new laptop in addition to my new desktop though, so I could post between scenes.

You took my idea😉

Once I make some weird scientific discovery, I am gonna spend my money on lots of stuff. I am gonna get me a new house, I am gonna make the color 'Pimpin Pink' and paint my house with that. 14 out of the 16 rooms would also be 'Pimpin Pink'. One of the other 2 would be only science and the other would be the 'Elecrtonic' room.😛 Of course, I would not live in the house alone. I would have anyone who wants to stay in my house, that I know, have the ability to stay at my house.😀 My wardrobe wouldn't really change, I would just be wearing alot more white overcoats instead of a black or grey sweatshirt. I would also have a Harley with flames on it, painted on by my uncle😀 And to keep the beggars out, and electric fence😛

Of course, I would not forget about any of you. I can't live without BB, TS3 or runescape.

Hmm... I've never actually thought about being famous... I want to be a big-time writer/director, but I don't want the fame... The money would be nice, but no fame... If I ever get/got it... I'd never acknowledge it... But yea...

Depending on when it happened... I'd buy an expensive apartment... Like, studio style... I'd put a games room... With a pool table, and pin-ball machines... And my PS2 (Can't forget that) and every good game around 😛 I'd have my office, where it would be way too comfy for an office, but that is where I would write... And a full-steel kitchen, with an island instead of a table... And my living room would be entirely red... Red sofas, red tables... Red carpet... But walls in a dark slate gray... And I'd have top of the line equiptment... HUGE plasma flatscreen on the wall... Every kinda player available (even LD... can't neglect the classics 😛) I'd have various artwork by various people around the loft... Oh, and most importantly... I'd have a "music" room, where I'd buy a new 13-peice drum kit... And a couple electric guitars, and my trusty acoustic... Amps and such... Kareokee machine 🙂

For cars... Hmm I'd have three...

A 67' Shelby GT500 Mustang... Mmmmm Dark blue with white racing stripes... Glossy finish... White leather interior... Decked out in all new audio equiptment 😛

A 2005 Ford F350 Super Duty XLT (6.0L OHV Power Stroke Diesel V8) in dark toreador red, with black leather interior and again, all new audio equiptment... And chrome... Lots of chrome... 🙂

And lastly, a 2005 Cadillac Escalade.... Black with pewter leather interior... And all new audio equiptment, including Flat-Screens in the back of the headrests, and a DVD player upfront. And seat-warming capabilities... Gotta have that 🙂

And, I'd have to have access to some ice... And ice rink somewhere... I've always said I'd have one in my basement... 🙂



And I would never forget anyone... My friends are what make me, me... And I'd share the wealth 🙂 Tons of parties... Everyones invited 😛

Looks like you figured me out, I might as well come clean 😉

Hmm if I were famous, not sure what I want to be famous for, but i'd keep the friends I have now, launch some foundations for causes that are close to my heart. Move to New York and make sure my family were repaid for everything they have done for me.

I must admit if I were to make new friends online I wouldn't tell them straight away but if after a while I felt comfortable I would say something. But thats not to mean I would change who I am, i'd just say I did something different for a living than I actually did.

 

[Xander]

I'd buy a car, all fancy like. Then put a lot of money in the bank (to cover the car in case) and then go down the pub and buy everyone drinks, and all my friends lots and lots of drinks.

Ah yeah, that's the plan alright.

I want fame. I'm gonna win the Nobel prize like Fran just explained. And I'll be a famous writer/poet in Sweden. I'm gonna be the next (female) Quentin Tarantino/Tim Burton/David Lynch. And I'll be a pretty famous stage actor in London. Mhm. Plus Epo and Fran will be famous all over the world, just because of who we are, oh yeah, but I guess you already knew that was gonna happen..

I'll never abandon my boards and my online life. I'll bring my iBook everywhere, no matter what. Sine I have told you what I'll be famous for, you'll probably figure out that's me, when I'm there, so yeah I'll try the Clark Kent thing but you'll all figure me out quite quckly.. since I'll be famous online at all the boards by then as well.. umm...

EDIT: Oh and what will I do with all my money? I'll buy DVDs, duh...

 

[Lee]

Its weird, cuz Ive often thought of this...

I would *definitely* stay online and tell people who I was, but I wouldnt want people to treat me any different, just as Lee, the same as you all know me now...

The Internet is like a second home to me, and plus, say, I was a famous actor or whatever, I'd *LOVE* to talk to my fans and stuff...ok...so...it sounds mostly like I want attention, but...ya know, thats not the case, lol...

Ok...Ive completely confused myself...
Oh Lordy...

 

[Anchovy]

GAH! Kd, you made me think of it! I've forgotten the French Quarter!! I would of course buy a huge apartment...possibly on Iberville or Dumaine...for weekends! See, I'd have to have the Garden District house so that Jim could get to class, and I could run in Audubon Park, but then I'd have to have the French Quarter apartment for weekends...

Yeah, and you could walk to the Cafe du Monde for cafe au lait and beignets on Sunday morning! I'd be sooo there...but your idea is top notch...and you could have all your friends over for Mardi Gras parades and uhhh, nightlife off the gallery of your apartment! You would have a gallery, right?

After watching the movie Paparazzi, I don't think I'd want to become famous overnight anymore. LOL.

Not much would change for me..as for online friends..my close ones would know but no new ones would...unless we became really close!

Oooh i've been wanting to see that, how was Cole?

 

[Patran]

I'd hate to become famous. I'm far too shy for that type of stuff. But if I did, it would have to be becuase I did something good for mankind, like inventing the first hangover-less beer or discovering Atlantis before Indiana Jones does. : grinno :
