How To Meet a Bravolebrity

It's a Brad Brad World

Confession: I love Bravo.  It's very hard for Andy Cohen to put on a show that I won't want to watch in marathon form.  Real Housewives of Everywhere?  Yes please.  Shahs of Sunset?  How could there only be six episodes?!  Tabitha Takes Over?  That takes over my TV set.  Rachel Zoe?  I die.  A few months ago when I saw that stylist Brad Goreski was going to get his own show after appearing on several seasons of Rachel Zoe, I got crazy excited because I looooved him on Rachel Zoe and missed seeing him on TV.  Obvi, I totes watched the show and loved it. 

Fast forward to a week and a half ago.  I was out for happy hour with my law school friends that we kicked off early and kept going through dinner and after.  Several glasses of wine later (ok probably bottles) my group ended up at a pretty nice restaurant/lounge with a beautiful rooftop patio.  We walked up to the door and my friend says, "Hey, I think that guy from Bravo just walked in ahead of us."  Immediately my ears perked up like my dog's do when I suggest we go for a walk.  A Bravolebrity?!  Here?!  It can't be!  Christian Bale-Batman style I demanded my friend tell me, "WHO IS IT?!  WHICH BRAVOLEBRITY IS HERE?!"  He says, "Brad from It's a Brad Brad World."  I said "Impossible."  He says, "No, I'm pretty sure it was him."  I said, "No and I'll prove it."  I then proceeded to shout at the top of my lungs, "BRAD!  BRAD!  TURN AROUND BRAD!!!" 

I was heading up the stairs to the patio at that moment when my friend said, "Um, turn around."  At the bottom of the stairs was Brad Goreski himself looking incredibly dapper.  I died a little inside of mortification at my rudeness, but my mortification was overpowered by my Bravolebrity obsession.  I trampled down the stairs and apologized to Brad for being rude, telling him I was trying to prove that Brad was not in fact Brad, said I was a big fan, and chatted for a second.  He was so wonderfully gracious and even posed for a picture which he did not have to do with a drunken a-hole such as myself.  This experience taught me that Bravolebrities are incredibly gracious even to barking fans.

So take note sugars, apparently being a complete idiot is how you meet a Bravolebrity.
