Desperately seeking publicity

I'm in the A&R Man and Plugger in Soho having a quiet libation with 2/5ths of Girls Aloud when the old mobile starts warbling. It turns out to be my accountant calling from Barbados who proceeds to give me a right ear-bashing. I listen to him whinging on about liquidising this and leveraging that for a few minutes and then I ask him what his point is. Apparently yours truly's down to his last few mil and has got to 'raise his profile' otherwise it's goodbye to the good life.

So I seems I've got to be seen out and about so that my adoring public doesn't think I'm sitting in chair in front of Trisha dribbling. Now I'm nothing if not resourceful so I blag an invite to this party in the back-end of nowhere where apparently there might be a few celebs. I pitch up at this gaff to find a right ruckus in progress. There's a ton of snappers from the red tops flashing away like mad. I'm thinking that I've hit paydirt as I head for the front door. Anyway, it turns out that some toff's got everyone fired up because he's wearing some sort of WWII uniform and the doors were well and truly barred. Well you can imagine that I was not best pleased since I'd spent a fortune on my Osama Bin Laden costume. Needless to say, the whole weekend was a washout AND I got charged for returning the costume in an 'unacceptable condition'.

Being a world-wide mega star is not all it's cracked up to be, I can tell you.

You sound like you might know my publisher Dave.
I'll see if I can get him to put out some feelers for you.

Great blog.
(Btw, I don't think your Archive links are working down the side.)
