Who is that model?

I’ve never really met a celebrity before.  I mean, one time I ate dinner with John and Annie Glenn but that’s about the most “famous” person I’ve ever met.  So, when we saw a swarm of people around some French man with hair straight from Jersey Shore, I wanted to investigate further...

Actually, our whole adventure started when we happened upon a big charity event in Nice.  We saw a group of dancing German people and decided the day could only get better from there.  When we heard music coming from a large tent a little further down the road, we realized they had a rapper there for the event.

And that’s how I met Kanye West. 

Just kidding.

Ok well really we only thought there was a rapper.  When we got to the tent we saw a stage filled with elderly couples doing some type of waltzing.  Let’s pretend it was a rapper though so it sounds a little cooler.

Growing tired of the waltzes, Lauren and Claire decided to go get some cotton candy and then check out the rest of Nice.  On their journey they encounter a French man who playfully pretends to eat some of the cotton candy.  They smile at him but decide to keep the cotton candy for themselves.  Who did he think he was anyway?  You can’t just go around pretending to eat cotton candy…even in France.  Not cool.  Maybe if you hadn’t spent so much on hair gel you could afford your own cotton candy.

As the rest of us walk around at the charity event, we see a crowd of people form around a man.  Thinking it was a street magician, we make our way to the crowd.  After asking the crowd of teenage girls who this person was, we found out he was just some model that the girls wanted to meet.  Ehh, I’m not impressed.  There are thousands of “models” in the world and I doubt a festival that featured the elderly waltzing around on stage would really have anyone too special.  Just for fun we snap a picture of the model.

Later on we “bragged” to Lauren and Claire about how they had missed meeting a model but that they shouldn’t feel bad because we got a picture.  As we show them the picture they laugh, not because of his popped collar, gelled hair, and terrifying facial expression, but because it was Cotton Candy Stealer.  Still though, did he really expect us to know who he was?

Turns out, he is kinda what you’d call a big deal.  Ranked number one on a list of top male models and working for Chanel, H&M, and Dior, Baptiste Giabiconi is probably someone with whom you wouldn’t mind sharing your cotton candy.  However, he is also someone who could afford to buy his own cotton candy.  Maybe next time, Baptiste.
