I accidentally insulted Kylie.
Sometime in the late 1990s, I was picking up a few things in the Virgin Megastore in Times Square, New York. The place was ridiculously crowded, so I figured it was one of their celebrity signing whatevers.

Having made my purchases, I ninja'd my way through the crowd, and asked a record store employee who the honored guest was.

"Kylie Minogue." He didn't seem thrilled.

This was back when Kylie was first trying to make her comeback in the US, before her "look at my boobs in this impractical dress" video ensured it. So, I knew her only as;

"That 'Locomotion' chick? She sucks canal water," I wittily replied, trying to get a chuckle out of the miserable retail drone.

The employee started laughing, but gagged it back, looking over my shoulder. I followed his gaze and realized that the autograph table was right behind me, and she was glaring in my direction, having heard every word.

I smiled sweetly, and added to her face, "Sorry, but you do." I then made a hasty retreat before the approaching security guys made it for me.

you posted this elsewhere or previously on b3ta? Because I've definitely read it before.
