This incident happen before I became involved with WIITWD but it did involved a strong in the driver's seat kind of woman that I was very infatuated with.
I was 25 yrs. old and was having my first Art Show opening. Before this I was very partiular with whom I shared my art, so although I had gotten very possitive feedback from family and friends I really didn't know how "out-siders" would react to my art.
I had sent an invitation to this woman and hoping she would show. The evening was about half way in progress and the feedback so far was very possitive and the conversation's very flattering and inspiring. I was riding pretty high. Then "she" walks through the door and I become a self conscious wreak[&:].
I try to keep my cool greet and speak to her and continue to flit around.
After watching her look at my art with corner glances, she approaches me, gives me lot's of kudos' about my work and we have a great conversation and when she is ready to leave I said I would walk her out to her car.
Okay I am really riding high now, we go outside and there is a somewhat long stairway down to the street and the parking lot, they are made of marble. I am wearing spiked heels that are somewhat slippery, dressed to the nines and we take our first step down, I slip and go tumbling down the rest of the stairs, I wasn't seriously hurt(thank goodness) but I do now lay crumbled up in a pile at the bottom of the stairs totally mortified.
Luckily she had a great sense of humor and when she rushed down to see if I was okay, I just looked up and said "Boy, that sure brought me back down to earth quick!" and we sat there and laughed and laughed.
Pretty damn embarrassing for me though.
I was a bit more level headed walking back into the show too[;)].
