In my new dentist's office, waiting for thirty, forty minutes because he's stuck in an elevator, on West 51st. An old lady is haranguing another old lady about politics and how we all should be more like Denmark. The harangued old lady, in a very familiar voice, says "oh, yes, well thanks for sharing, that's very nice." The old lady, is, unmistakably, LIZA MINELLI. This is only confirmed when the dentist calls out "Liza!" and she laughs her unmistakable laugh and says "I'm here!" She is wearing a zip up plushy onesie and naively slutty hat only comprable to Degrassi TNG Season Two Manuela "Manny" Santos. Spray-on tan. Suuuuper skinny. While I am getting my teeth prodded I keep hearing her laughing, which leads me to wonder what is so funny about her teeth.
I am this close to sharing an elevator with her and I wanted to scream at the hygenist ringing me up "HURRY SO I CAN SHARE WITH LIZA" but I didn't. I will make my next appointment in six months to the dot in hopes of running into Ms. Minelli again.
Also last night I gave myself a mani-pedi, face mask, and watched this two-and-a-half hour epic:

Cannot recommend enough.

When I was about thirteen, I ran into Bill Cosby at the dentist. Another girl in the waiting room was so excited to see him, she squealed with glee as soon as he was out of earshot. Then her mom, Diane Wiest, came to pick her up. None of these people are as exciting as Liza, but the point is, celebrities need to go to the dentist too!
