Pink lady
I was remarkably fortunate today to witness a world record display of bhb-ness [Bei Hiao Bai or utterly thick skinned] while shopping with guru in TM - the gracing of Pink Lady in one of the fashion shops. In case people have forgot who the pink lady is, she's the abagail cum Xu Chun Mei look alike who made her impressionable debut in S'pore Idol. The following translated conversation took place between the poor sales girl who took the direct blow of her bhb-ness and her.
Pink Lady: Recognize me? I went on TV before..you know the S'pore Idol..as the Pink Lady.
Sales girl: On yep.
Pink Lady: Why is it that ever since i went on TV everybody seems to recognize me? Why huh? The next day all the newspaper got my face.
Sales girl: Oh well..you know.. [I speculated that she's trying to tell her no one can easily forget how a stick insect attempted to join S'pore idol with a horrible voice n an equally revolting outfit n appearance]
Pink Lady: Haiz, actually I wanted to join Superstar..but hor, my bf don't allow. He don't like all the attention I'm getting.
By then I was choking down my laughter so hard that I didn't hear the sales girl's response.
Itz a wonder how some people can live in self delusion. She seriously needs a good Samaritan to tell her she can't sing and she's erm..not pretty. Memories of what she said in a Life! interview sent goosebumps racing down my spine. "I have male admirers asking me for autographs after I joined S'pore idol & I told them I've got a boyfriend" Urg.
