celebrities sighted at the worlds in Orlando
« on: August 17, 2009, 10:04:18 AM »

To help pass the time I started a list of all the celebrity look a likes that I could remember seeing while at the Rosen.  Here's what I came up with:

Elvis (of course)
Ann Margaret (what a tight dress!)
Michael Jackson (was only there a short time and left early)
Dean Martin (always with his drink)
Robin Williams (he was very good)
Jessica from Roger Rabbit (she was really curvy)
Britney Spears (someone was always around her)
Barack Obama (didn't look that much like the prez)
Michelle Obama (she was a GREAT look a like)
George Bush (looked good and often with Bill)
Bill Clinton (he would have been the heavier Bill)
Forrest Gump (his ears really stuck out)
George Burns (I wanted to talk to him)
Liz Taylor (in her 50's)
Liza Minelli (didn't look much like her but her voice was right on)
Arnold (with several costumes so I guess he could say "I'll be back")
Cindy Lou Who (great hair)
Dr. Phil (many said he was the best of all of them)
Judge Judy (never went anywhere without her robe)
Bing Crosby (with his golf club)
Tiger Woods (also happened to have a golf club)
John Lennon (sang for our younger top spinners)
Patsy Cline (I knew her but others didn't - am I showing my age?)
Tina Turner (very flashy)
Rod Stewart (had tourrettes - really!)
Jack Sparrow (great outfit)
Judi Garland (as Dorothy)
Barbara Streisand (her movements made me laugh)
Frank Sinatra (didn't see him very well)
Roy Orbison (I heard his voice was great)
KC and the Sunshine Band (didn't see them all together)
Supremes (Diana was always off doing her own thing)

Who did I miss?

I got a very funny Whoopi Goldberg with a Throwback.


Robin Williams was also very funny. So was George Bush, but I could not get pass my feelings for the real one so I did not ask him for a picture. There were like 3 Sarah Palin, and several others were in multiples. I was reserving Figaro to pose with other big tops (as in silicon), but the opportunity did not present itself.

Yes, Catherine, now that I am retiring from competition I will have more time to work on the site and start new photo galleries.

I just remembered seeing Drew Carey.  It only took me another six hours after spending 20 some in the car to get that one.

I am guessing that Jorge will not be at Nationals because they love him at his house and he has already been gone several times.  This, of course, means that Catherine will have to step up for the freestyle this year along with one of your kids!

Unfortunately, I don't have "permission" to go to nationals. Actually, my wife had assumed that if I went on the Euro Top Tour I wouldn't go to worlds  ::) so I am already in big trouble. I wish I could go and just practice for a top battle ;D

What I am wondering, Jorge, is what she thinks about your visit to Orlando now that you came home with the world championship?

Also, as I drove home, I realized we missed a big opportunity at the Rosen.  One of us should have dressed up as Lug Ditka from the movie "My Summer Story" and walked around with a black top (Mariah) trying to beat up other tops!
