15 minutes

Andy Warhol said everyone will be world-famous for 15 minutes. I look back at what it took to become famous back in the day...hmmm a funny thing called intelligence and some talent didn't hurt either. Yes the Brat Pack seemed to be known more for their partying ways than their movies but maybe they were on to something as they are still around..some in rehab.

These days if you have no talent but were born to wealth you are almost instantly famous. All you have to do is make a sex tape and have it "accidentally" leaked onto the Internet. Sex tape not for you? You could always go the route of buying several packs of Altoids and saving a semen covered dress which you "forgot" to have cleaned. Too yuck for you? How about having ten plastic surgeries in one day and having half your brain removed at the same time?

I guess I have let my life slide. I grew up and was a good kid, for the most part. Went to school, got good grades. Went to university, got a job. Went back to school, got a job...a husband...a cat and a dog. I guess nothing fame worthy...except maybe that I am still married.

Working in the marketing world I realize that sex sells. The more of a teaser you can entice people with the more popular the item becomes. Who knew this translated to woman as well. I wonder if I did it wrong? Maybe I should have grown up, said screw it to education and gone to Hollywood. Work in some bar in said Hollywood, gotten a boob job and slept with someone famous....hey then I too would be famous once their sex scandal broke....which it eventually would after I leaked it to TMZ. Then I'd play dumb because I "didn't know he was still married", save every text message he ever sent me (this may be my biggest challenge) ...get a large settlement and retire. Fool proof! OR I could pimp my husband out to the wife of said husband and get maybe an hour of fame and double the payout. What were my parents thinking when they raised me with morals...sheesh!

But for those of you without any morals and looking for a way to get your 15 mins here are some ideas which have worked for others:
1. Sleep with someone a 100 other woman have. Remember STD's are only a small price to pay on your way to stardom
2. Have a lot of plastic surgery and become plastic looking.
3. Have more than 14 kids; as others are way ahead of you...oh and throw some religious beliefs in there as it makes you look more credible
4. Eat to become 1000lbs, whether you live that long is another story...but at least you have a goal.
5. Tell people that you can hear dead people

or you could go in another direction
1. Help the blind to see
2. Win a Nobel piece prize
3. Spend your life aiding others
4. Invent something
5. Write an epic novel

Ok now I know why people don't go the second route...it's too hard! Oh well I guess it is time to tart it up to make our 15mins...but then again there was that time when I was 5 ad it was school bus safety week........
