Good point. Seems I’d be the senior person and the celebrities could be any age. No mention of the Pope in the advert, regrettably.
Some of the “must haves” include:
Proven experience of working with and influencing celebrities, securing high level support for charity campaigns and events.
A keen interest in celebrities and entertainment news, and knowledge of digital influencers.
Be an expert in your field and provide consultancy to your colleagues when needed around how celebrities can add value to their campaigns and projects.
Other relevant details:
Assist at celebrity visits/appearances and events that may fall outside of office hours, including travel and overnight stays at the Travelodge.
It’s basically a Small Claims goldmine for the successful candidate!
My son and daughter were in DSM today having a browse, then daughter calls me up pleading to get her an ADWYSD T-shirt. I say no. Next thing, my son calls up to say that Rick Owens overheard the conversation and has bought them all an item of clothing each - apparently he was in there just paying for random strangers shopping.
Either that or they’ve progressed to highly sophisticated shoplifting…*
Been with my partner for about two and a half years. Her dad (long since passed away) was considerably older than her mum and she has a few half sisters that she only occasionally, if ever, sees. They’re mostly in the US and Caribbean.
Last night, we were talking music and touched on old school, classic hip hop. She says, “My sister married some guy who had something to do with Run DMC but he died, Larry something or other”.
Produced maybe the greatest Hip Hop record ever in Sucker MC’s which changed the game.
I remember when he was ill and I think his family were struggling with medical bills, don’t think Russell or Rick, who went onto to be multi millionaires of course, helped the family out, bit like what’s happening now with Alfredo.
Same as it ever was.
Met Steve Davis yesterday at a record fair in bristol. He had a stall selling mainly soul and funk. Great selection and prices weren’t that bad.
He just bought this and told me to go get it.
Another thread regarding the name Jennifer brought to mind the song Jesamine by The Casuals. In the early 80’s a couple of us had a Saturday job at the International store in Eastbourne. Rather an overstated name for a 1980’s supermarket perhaps, though they did sell Camp coffee, which is made in Scotland and had a Sikh on the label. I know because I dropped a crate once in aisle four and it’s a bugger to clean up. Anyway, during this time they decided to rebrand as Gateway, whether this reflected a backward step is both debatable and beside the point.
A new manager, Mr Milton was brought in to oversee the process and perhaps in an effort to bond with his two 15 year old shelf stackers he told us that he had played bass on the 60’s hit Jesamine.
We were suitably impressed and for the following forty years that song has held a special place in my heart.
It’s also been a useful anecdote if i’m in a social situation and the conversation dries up. “You know the song Jesamine?…”
Well, unquestioning as I was of that grand claim all those years ago, I thought I’d post it here. I decided to search the internet to check the facts. I am sorry to say I have found no evidence that he was ever in the band. I am bereft and feel like a part of my childhood has been stolen.
When Jesamine goes…
When I was doing stand up about 15 years ago, I was on the same bill as Richard ‘Baby Reindeer’ Gadd many times. I didn’t like him then and I don’t like him now and in no way whatsoever am I jealous of his success
(in all seriousness, you soon begin to realise your abilities in that game, and it’s fine that there are levels, and you also need people at different levels to make a night work, but he was head and shoulders above most people, despite having a weird face )
In summer of 1999 our high school Russian language class travelled to an imperial suburb of the former Leningrad, freshly reverted back to Saint Petersburg, ostensibly to set up a computer lab. Owing to the economic situation in Russia at the time, much of the computer equipment was quickly sold off but we consoled ourselves with copious cheap booze and hijinks. There was a disco in the basement of the dormitory and we’d have dance parties every night. Anyway, we were accompanied by a film crew that made a documentary on the whole business. I’ve just learned that the guy on the crew we knew as “Seth” is Seth Gordon - who went on to direct “Horrible Bosses”, “Baywatch”, and that great Donkey Kong documentary.
