Hey everyone I met Traci a long time ago. She came to a grand opening of a Bally's Fitness in Melrose Park, IL (a burb that's238 15 mins west of Chicago)
Now when I was a kid, I allllllllllways wanted to be famous or at least meet some famous people. So when I got to the gym, they had some very very exceptionally attractive girls who were signing up members and I by "mistake" thought 1 of the girls was Traci. I was likeTraci is that you ? She said no, but thanks for the compliment, she's right there on stage. On stage she said, "Hey you guys don't believe I got some black in me" !! She was doing the "running man" to some music, can't remember LOL5b4
After that she was taking pictures with guests at the fitness club and was being very cool about it. Nooooooo she wasn't charging, Yes the pictures were free but I brought my own "Polaroid" with me LOL this was back 1997 I believe; so technology was only as good as it was available to us. So as I mentioned on another post, that she flirted with me and read my name tag and I was using my alias/nickname. Plus I wore some cologne that made all the ladies melt. So she rubbed her "rocks" against me. YES they felt like rockssteel..whatever. So I had laughed pretty hard and I made sure that picture never got in the hands of anyone since I laughed and the pic looked like spit ! So we took about 3-4 pics together. So on a final note, she's a very very lovely lady "but", had bony fingers when I shook her hand. All I could feel was her bones in her hand and I was afraid that I'd crush her hand, just by shaking it. (I do have pics up on my myspace and facebook of Traci and me)
She was the first celebrity I met and some people read my other threads of very highly paid, extremely well known jerk actors I've met after her LOL
