Providence Socialite?

So I have reached new heights here in the city of Providence. I have sadly been living here long enough that I run into at least 2-3 people that I know every time I go out (one of them I probably made out with), I have gone to the same hair dresser, mechanic, dry cleaners, eye brow lady, gyno, nail salon for the last 5-6 years that I'm known by name as one of their regular customers (although at the nail salon she calls me Kim and I never corrected her).



But this month I made a breakthrough (I would say equal to being in US Weekly) my picture was featured in the party pics section of the popular Providence Monthly magazine that is up on all the hottest restaurants, shopping, and nightlife in Providence. I have done it - I've officially visited these "hot spots" frequently enough that they caught my picture and published it for all to see. Of course it's not the best picture of me (lets just say it's not facebook worthy). I mean I don't look horrible but i'm smiling extra big and my cheeks are a bright shade of red. Of course I'm being featured next to the Lebanese silver medalist. Remember him? (see post "Here's to Winter). Funny how by the time this magazine went to print we were no longer speaking. He probably just said something really inappropriate and I was fake smiling/slightly embarrassed hence the look on my face.



However - since the magazine was published I have gained celebrity status in the little city. So far I've been noticed by:



1. The trainers at the gym - I'm not going to lie - I'm probably pinned up in their locker but that's not saying much.

2. The women at my new nail salon (I had to leave the other one because even though my old one loved me as "Kim" i didn't love how they never had time to give me a mani/pedi).

3. The valet guy at a nightclub.

4. My former students at J&W - who had a hearty laugh at my expense. (Although it did spark the idea for them to nominate me for the magazine's February issue - Providence's Most Eligible Bachelors and Bachelorettes - I've only been dying to be in that issue for years. literally.)



Although - the best part of my new claim to fame has to be the title of the issue that I graced the pages of - "The Cheap Issue"

God I can't get a break in this town.
