J Lo apparently requests that hers be all white while Britney asks for Doritos. Considering I spent three hours this morning on my hands and knees, sorting through my kids' toys in the basement, I'm definitely in the mood to make some demands of my own!
So let's pretend for a minute that I'm on top of the world, a woman in demand, with nationwide sold out shows to thousands. My whims have become dire necessities to keep me energized and at my peak. Although like Steve Carell and Paul Rudd, I have a reputation as a "nice" star, my staff is still extremely eager to meet my every need, and thrilled that they are not so complicated. In fact, they find it easy to have:
- A chilled bottle of Riesling on ice with two delicate Riedel crystal balloon wine glasses.
- A small box of truffles from the Maison du Chocolat.
- A half dozen local perfectly ripe strawberries, only when in season.
I can hear the crowd now. I think I'll close my eyes a few minutes to hear them chant my name a little longer and to avoid the teetering pile of laundry I need to fold. Or better yet, maybe I'll just ask my assistant to take care of it while I sip a little more Riesling.
Happy Sunday Scribblings! What would your demands be if you were a superstar?

If I were a super star I would demand incredibly tasty and indulgent dishes that taste creamy and decadent, but each contain fewer than 500 calories.
When they'd protest I'd just wave my hand and say "Make it work." and walk away.
Ah... the dream...
Love your demands...chilled white wine is always so refreshing and chocolates a 'must' but the heated massage table, well, wonderful.
And, of course, the assistants jobs would include laundry folding and ironing, just to name a few.

This cracked me up - listening to the sound of the crowd and then coming back to the reality of folding laundry - yep!
