What would you do or have you done if/when you met someone who actually did take your breath away? Or are you surrounded by beautiful people?
My story: I went to the booksigning at RT when it was in Ft. Worth many, many years ago. I had never been to anything like that before and I was in awe at all the authors who were going to be there. I went with a group of women and they were talking about the cover models and I was very smugly thinking that I could care less. I wanted the books and to meet these authors who created them.
As we arrived so did a group of men. Jeans, no shirt, wearing vests, boots, tanned, muscled, 6-pack abs.
OHMYGOD! I couldn't look away. My mouth watered, my heart skipped beats, then began to race. Smugness went to hell in a handbag. I stuttered, I drooled.
But then I met one who took my breath away. John D'Salvo (spelling?) I asked if I could take his picture and quickly snapped two---double exposing him (don't I wish!) Never have gotten a blasted picture of him.
So, tell me since RT is fast approaching. What has been your favorite experience at RT? If you've never been and are planning on going then you're in for a treat. I always have a blast. And if you're not planning on going, have you ever met someone who made you stutter because they looked so damn good?
If you respond in any way, form or fashion I'll put your name in a drawing for a copy of Southern Comfort.
I'm off to look at flooring but I'll check in before I go to bed.
Good Luck!

Karen, great story. I've never had the pleasure of one of those beautiful guy breathless moments, but I'm still hopeful.
I honestly have never met someone who made me feel that way. Now I'm a bit jealous!!LOL. I havent been to many things like concerts or book signings, and no romance conventions. Hopefully someday.
I haven't ever been to one. If any comes close to where I live, I will be sure to go. They sound like they are fun. I would love to meet all the authors and the cover models.
When Dianne, Judy and I had our night with James Denton, I thought I was going to be all calm, cool and collected and I literally forgot my name. LOL
Karen I did get a pic with John DeSalvo and he was breath-taking too ;-)
Oh and when I went to see Keith Urban in concert with a girlfriend we(okay me)screamed like teenagers...
I have never been to RT. I would to go someday, so I can meet authors and see some of these cover models in person.
I don't think that I have ever met someone that has taken my breath away. If I did I would probably be super nervous and would begin speaking in one word sentences. I tend to either clam up or talk nonstop when I am nervous (depends on the situation). I think in this case I would be silent, except for the occasional word or two. But I can't be sure until it happens...hmm...maybe I need to find some take-my-breath away guys...for scientific research you know...just to test my reaction. LOL.
I remember LuAnn's moment He is like HI I am Jamie and LuAnn is gone. LOL
I remember one when I was in my 20's I went to go pay for my gas purchase and the guy in the little booth was hot. I swear I just stared, he had to ask me twice for the money lol.
I have gotten to met a couple of celebs and I am shockingly calm. Have met Huey Lewis, James Denton, Chris Collingsworth.
I have never been to a conference, or get together, but would like to attend one and hopefully in the future that will work out for me. I would like nothing better than to meet with the Authors and friends I have met online.
I have never really had a breath taking experience. But am sure that my reaction would be to be very quiet and speechless. But guess one really knows until the occasion arises.

Hi Karen, I've not met anyone near the calibre of the cover models at RT but at my first vacation job, there was a single and very good looking colleague. He has a killer smile (and he knows it). When he flashed it at me, my heart would trip and I would lose my train of thoughts.
There was a lawyer I used to run into when I was in Family Court. He was sooo gorgeous. If that weren't bad enough, I could tell by the way he moved that we had the same rhythm. Sometimes he even crooked his finger under my chin when he talked to me. I used to go the other way when I saw in in the hall sometimes. I was so afraid that I might accidently kiss him or do something to him without realizing I was doing it before it was too late. I couldn't speak coherently around him. Is that what you mean?
I've met lots of motorcycle racers and race car drivers, but never did anything embarrassing. (I may have to ask DH his opinion on that one! LOL)
I did just stare a few times when I worked fast food during high school!
Hi! I loved all the answers! And the winner---chosen at random---is Judy F. I found something while shopping the other day---grow your own prince and I'll stick one of those in when I mail your book and you can tell me if it works. LOL! I'll need your address. You can send to kkelley@classicnet.net
