Who's the most famous person you ever tried to swap shirts with?
OK, before I go to my deposition,I thought I'd post something fun.

I was wearing a Stay-Away Super Maxi Bitch T-shirt when I met Diamanda Galas. She loved my shirt so much. I told her I'd give it to her, but then I'd need a shirt. She was wearing this great-looking black satin sleeveless shirt. She almost pulled it over her head 3 times, but finally said, "If it were any other shirt..."

I said, "That's OK, a story about almost getting you to take off your shirt for me is very nearly as good as getting you to take off your shirt for me."

She thought that I was very funny.

See you all later!

;-)

3. I actually did trade shirts with a girl I'd just met.
I'd met this girl at the marina at Lake Powell. She wasn't famous, though. She told me she liked my T-shirt (a Sisters of Mercy shirt), and I told her I liked hers and I'd trade her. She was happy to oblige.

I actually didn't like her shirt at all, I just wanted to see her boobs.

6. Let this be a lesson ...
Once upon a time I swapped shirts with a young woman under very similar circumstances, except she asked me.

I'm certain she just wanted to show off her boobs.

Or maybe she wanted me to take off my shirt. In any case, her shirt didn't fit me, and I was shirtless for the rest of the afternoon.

Oh, yeah, she put sunscreen lotion on my back too.

8. Her shirt didn't fit me either.
But at Lake Powell, you really don't need one. :D

4. Never shirts, but I once swapped a ballcap.
I was working on an indie film, and I was infamous for my ballcap collection. I was even dubbed the "hat king" because of the great assortment of ballcaps. Several were even borrowed by the costume designer.

One of my caps was a very well broken-in college hat, incidentally the same college that the film was being shot at. I was a student at that school a few years before, so it had the authentic look of a hat that was well worn, because it had been. One of our cast was Jeff Anderson, the actor that plays Randall the video-store clerk in the Kevin Smith movies. Anyway, he wanted it for his character, who had been at the college a while and would probably have the oldest, crummiest hat around. After a day of filming, he got a new hat and offered to swap hats for good, because a perfectly broken hat is hard to come by.

It's been a few years, so the new one has been broken in now and part of my regular hat rotation.

5. No one really.
The guy who was in the Darth Vadar suit (not James Earl Jones, but he was an English actor named David Prowse) stared freakishly at my shirt once. :shrug:

Long story.

7. Andrew, the drummer for Dead Moon
Well, it was pants. His wife hated his red pants and she liked my blue jeans, so she wanted us to trade. I vetoed it, the pants were really ugly and red.
