I too noticed that he was a bit standoffish to some & smiley to others depending on if they were part of his show or not. He spoke with me only after our demo... Wasn't pure Diva as you say but almost..... L- Violet,

Great writeup. I too noticed that he was a bit standoffish to some & smiley to others depending on if they were part of his show or not. He spoke with me only after our demo…

Wasn’t pure Diva as you say but almost…..

I mean, it was a room over 50% performers so it just made us laugh. it was definitely not passionless though -- after the performances it could have easily turned into a pickup zone, the performances were red-hot arousing. and I agree that MCho would make a great politician, but I should note that another celebrity I've met (and drank with) several times since at least 2005 is David Byrne. he is sweet, smart and slightly withdrawn in crowd situations, but totally just hangs out the whole time. no entrances, no diva fourth wall. it's comfortable to be around him. which brings me to... @ Toaster: annoyed, nah, but just observant. I had no expectations, and maybe others did, but it was odd the way he had tunnel vision. and it seemed to me he wanted to be like a Cho or Byrne in the space, but he came from a different perspective. maybe that's how traditional celebs are taught to behave. it's just weird to have someone interrupt and butt into your conversation and not even make eye contact with you (and I think, expect you to fade away), which is what he did when I was talking to Madison. @ ME: the vibe in the room was high energy, and a good number of us were old friends or at least acquaintances. we were really all wrapped up in talking when they interrupted us to coach us on ignoring Navarro which was why it was so odd.

Eh, imagine being judged like that, by everyone, all the time. I can't imagine anything worse then being a Hollywood celebrity, having to live up to everyone's expectations, I totally couldn't do it.

A nine-month lag until the show airs does seem pretty long. What was the vibe like in the room? Did it feel sexy, or passionless? My guess is that Navarro sequesters himself for the same reason most of us would - it's uncomfortable to be the center of attention without the protective barrier of the stage. Women like Margaret Cho make fine politicians. That was Hillary Clinton's undoing - unlike her husband, she really didn't want to hang out and hear your sob story. When are you getting your TV show, Violet? Cheers, ME Good report. A nine-month lag until the show airs does seem pretty long.
