Markie 'n Me

(a Brief Encounter)

Ok, Markie fans, here's the story...

Last April ol' Irmgard had to be in L.A. on business. Fortunately, I'd arranged it during the time of the taping of the pilot for the Goddess' new TV series, Odd Man Out. Also fortunately, my good friend, MP ind DC, had arranged for audience tickets, so I was set to see the most beautiful woman in the world in the flesh!!!

The Pages in charge of the audience said: "No Autographs!!!", but I carried a pic with me just in case....The actual taping was a lot of fun. It's a really cute show about a young guy living in a woman's world-three sisters, a mother, and his mom's sister. Markie plays the part of the mother. (I hate to say it, but Irmgard's mom never looked that good!!!)

Anyway, after the show, I went to the railing (the audience is elevated above the stage-different from a regular theater), and lingered there. The Goddess was just below me, talking to her husband Michael Ross (did I mention that Irmgard hates him???) and another couple. A Page approached me and said: "You've got to leave...", so I thought "It's now or never..." . So I called out to the Goddess...(me!...lowly Irmgard!)..."Markie... would you sign my picture?" To my amazement, she came right over to the railing and said: "How should I sign it? Should I make it out to you?" I responded: "Yeah! That would be great! Make it out: "To Ron". She did, and added "Love, Markie Post".

I couldn't believe how gracious the Goddess was-truly worthy of our admiration. Now Irmgard can die a happy man...He has seen Perfection in this imperfect world!!! Check out my prize below:

Recently, Irmgard was able to obtain another pic of the Goddess in that foxy white dress, probably taken that same evening as Markie emerged from attending the Emmy Awards in the late 1980's. Here it is for your enjoyment:
