American Idol in the lobby

All Monday morning it was another report:

"I just went downstairs to creative, and I saw her bra strap!"

"Her hair's down to her butt!" "No it's not, it's at her shoulder blades."

"Do you think that hair color's natural?"

"She's way shorter than she looks on TV."

Yes, Carrie Underwood's producer folk, decided that my company's front steps and lobby were the best place to film her latest video. So Monday morning, we started off our workweek by walking around our building and in the back door (not to be seen.) The police even directed us out in the middle of the street (mind you this wasn't a downtown holiday) so that we wouldn't "mess up the set" (aka. our sidewalk.) Carrie then proceeded to strut in and out of our building upwards of 50 times (the front desk person recalled) and played the same 20 seconds of her song over and over again for about two hours.

Kind of a pain, but having the bragging rights of "that's my building!!!!" when watching CMT's country music countdown on Saturday mornings - that's worth every inconvenience of it.

E's brush with stardom No. 3.
