I’m a star of stage and (small) screen. That’s right, I’ve walked the red carpet (no, not the doormat outside my apartment), I can wear a borrowed suit and host a televised event like nobody’s business. I’ve been wined and dined. My services are in demand, baby. Should I get an agent?<\/p>\n

The Stevo’s fame is current limited to seven-year-olds. But, they will pass word of his magnificence and his fan base will grow. In the not-too-distant-future he will be, in the words of Wanda<\/a>, bomb diggity. Hopefully, before all his hair falls out.<\/p>\n

I was in a show back in February to celebrate the end of the Chinese New Year festival. I didn’t have a speaking part, because the sound of my voice would have driven my fans into a mad frenzy. I stumbled upon the photos on the shared files drive in the office.<\/p>\n

\"Waving<\/a><\/p>\n

There he is! Bye-Bye!<\/p>\n

I can’t wait to be trailed by the paparazzi. They will cringe when I’m a big star. The gossip rags will pay up to $14 US for a photo of me.<\/p>\n

Ya, baby: Fame.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
