Star Struck

- Mrs STM & I - definitely star struck!!

I don't often get too excited meeting celebrities, identities, sport stars yadda yadda yadda because as a journalist it's just part of the job and really no big deal.

But it seems there is an exception to this rule. Last Friday night at the Capricci's launch a collegue, a former collegue of mine and myself got ourselves in a little bit of a tizz over meeting one of our mentors. I've only been in the media a few years as have my collegues, this lady on the other hand has been around a long time and sure knows her stuff.

We affectionately refer to her as Mrs STM and when Mrs STM talks you listen. There aren't many around like her, in fact I can only think of another guy who I will refer to as Mr WA News who commands as much respect. These two people together really know what they are talking about when it comes to food and as someone relatively new to the food caper I listen. The thing is after our Friday night conversation it seems I am learning as most of my views seemed to match theirs so it just goes to show I really do know what I'm talking about. I just got to start believing it a little more......

Have you ever been star struck? Who is your mentor? Tell me your stories I'd love to hear from you.


- Another star struck moment in Sydney with another one of my mentors Kochie - love him!
