Let me set the scene for you: It was a sunlit Saturday
morning. The air was humming with weekend optimism, and I, with a latte in
hand, decided to do a little shopping at Target. You know, just the usual
weekend activity of buying things I never knew I needed until I walked into
those wide aisles.
But that day was different.
As I strolled down the home goods section, deliberating over
which cushion could potentially change the entire vibe of my living room, a
voice broke through the muzak, unmistakably refined, unmistakably British,
unmistakably... famous?
"That's a rather chic cushion, isn’t it?”
Turning around, there she was. Joan Collins. THE Joan
Collins. Dame of the British Empire, an iconic actress from Dynasty, and, as I
was about to discover, a lover of Target's home decor section.
I couldn’t help but gape. "Joan Collins? Shopping at
Target?!" It was a sentence I never thought I’d form. But there she was,
in all her glamorous glory, holding a faux fur throw in one hand and a set of
gold-rimmed glasses in the other.
"You seem surprised," she laughed, a twinkle in
her eye. "Darling, everyone needs a good deal now and then. Plus, where
else can you get fabulous décor, trendy outfits, AND snacks all in one
place?"
We chatted for what felt like hours. Joan confessed her love
for Target's eclectic mix of stylish and affordable items. She had a knack for
mixing high-end pieces with bargain finds, making everything look effortlessly
glamorous - a talent I deeply envied.
She held up a set of velvety hangers, exclaiming,
"These! These are marvellous. And they don't let my sequined blouses
slip."
Who would have thought? Joan Collins, the epitome of luxury
and old-school Hollywood glamour, was just as thrilled by a good deal as the
rest of us. It was a beautiful reminder that joy can be found in the simplest
of places, whether it's a Hollywood gala or the aisles of Target.
We parted ways at the checkout, but not before snapping a
selfie – with her in those oversized sunglasses, and me, still in utter
disbelief. It was, without a doubt, the best Target run ever.
The moral of the story? You never know who you'll run into
during a casual shopping trip. So, the next time you're in Target, keep your
eyes peeled. You might just have a star-studded encounter of your own.
PS: Joan, if you're reading this, thanks for making my day.
And yes, the cushion was a fabulous choice. 😉🎯🌟
