Wentworth Miller: ME & CITY, China's Boy (Part 4)

“Wherever you go, go with all your heart.”

~Confucius~

Day 2 of Went’s visit in Shanghai turned out to be a splashing affair.  Day 3 was no exception as you’ll soon find out.

ME & CITY did indeed splash out.  They took Went on a tour inside the ME & CITY store.  He was shown the wonderful display of the clothing range for ME & CITY.  His wonderful photos were displayed all over the store to attract the shoppers.  Went even had his hand print cast in stone. [She winks.]  I wonder who the lucky devil is who got to keep that!  Imagine being an archaeologist and discovering that valuable find in a million years from now! It would be a matter of fighting to the death to keep it. [She laughs.]

I confess that if I happened to find myself browsing in this store and I saw Went’s pictures all over, I’d loose concentration on what I was shopping for.  I’d definitely grab the first card board cut-out of him instead and dash out the door with it. Come to think of it, this would be a far more effective and quicker way of obtaining a memento from Went opposed to waiting for his autograph via the mail.  From what I’ve heard it could take months, years or even centuries if you’re fortunate enough to receive his autograph at all and if this is true, I could be pushing up daisies at that rate.   [She sobs.] 

 I’m told patience is a virtue, so patient I shall be but they also say life is short and who knows what tomorrow will bring. And if the 2012 doomsday predictions are anything to go by, then time is definitely running out.  [She frowns.]

Getting back to business and very serious business it was.  Went had the honour of cutting the ribbon outside the ME & CITY store.  He performed this task with the utmost grace and enthusiasm.  Excitement and joy was written all over his face.  Thank goodness he isn’t clumsy like the character “Inspector Clouseau” from the Pink Panther movies ‘cause it would’ve been disastrous if he had cut the man’s sleeve next to him, by mistake. [She giggles imagining this scenario.]

“It won't be easy, that is why I have always failed where others have succeeded.”

~Inspector Clouseau~

After this auspicious affair, Went attended interviews.  I’d like to add that this must have taken a lot of patience on his part as most of his interviews were translated into English and Chinese.  I applaud Went for his amazing calmness, patience and generosity.  He spoke so eloquently and intelligently.  He nailed the questions posed to him and as always his sincerity came shining through.

After a gruelling day [She laughs], Went hopped on a plane and headed for Beijing, China.

I thank you all for sharing this momentous occasion with Went. 

“Until we meet again and the case is sol-ved.”

~Inspector Clouseau~

We’ll most assuredly meet again in Beijing, where Went stopped over for more fun and games.

Wentworth Miller: ME & CITY, China's Boy (Part 3)

On day two of Went's visit in Shanghai, Went was photographed ferrying around the lake in a rubber dinghy at Central Park in Pudong at the ME & CITY clothing store waving to his fans.

We can only thank the lucky stars that he was on the lake and not treading water.  All I know is during my research of this segment I’ve come to have an appreciation for life jackets and I guess Went has too. First of all I never realised that a man could look so attractive wearing one. Secondly, talk about going overboard!  If "the precious cargo" (Went), had taken a nose dive overboard, the organisers of ME & CITY would've been in deep water or rather hot water that’s for sure!  [She wags her finger.] Thank goodness every thing panned out just fine and no mishaps had occured 'cause if they had, I can assure you that whatever explanations the organisers could have offerered at the time,  sure wouldn’t have held water with me. [She frowns.] However, I must hand it to the organizers they were riding the crest of a wave and managed to sail through everything without any hiccups.

 

 

  

In the afternoon Went found himself on a slow boat in China.  The photographer took these amazing pictures of him.  Thank goodness Went doesn't suffer from sea sickness 'cause this day could have been a complete wash out.  [She laughs.]  If you catch my drift.

ME & CITY

That evening at the Grand Opening Ceremony of ME & CITY, Went was skippered once again around the lake in the same rubber dinghy and this time the skipper was wearing a frog suit and our precious cargo (Went) had none.  Not even the life jacket. [She shakes her head and taps her foot.] I don't know honestly!

 What’s with these people and their rubber dinghys and boats and why did they have just one oar in the water?  Haven’t they heard of keeping your feet on the ground … all safe and sound instead of having a flight of fancy?  Talk about keeping abreast of things.  I realise that they wanted to show off Went but this was really testing the water with me even though Went enjoys swimming and is like a duck to water. 

Don’t they know that they can spend money like water hiring these boats and they can lead a horse to water, but they can’t make it drink?  They were pretty fortunate that Went does enjoy a swim now and again and that he is of the first water, otherwise they sure would’ve had a whale of a problem on their hands. Thank goodness he managed to keep his head above water even though he had to go through hell and high water to do so.  I’m so pleased that it’s all over and that it’s water under the bridge for some.  It took me a little longer than most to get over these water sport joy rides Went, went on (no pun intended) for this occasion.

I have come to terms with all of this finally and now I can honestly say that it’s water off a ducks back for me. [Gee whiz I wonder where all this water came from.  She asks herself … drying herself off vigorously with a towel and suddenly she sees the funny side of it  all and bursts out laughing.]

What a wonderful occassion and such a lovely man!

Thank you for reading my blog  and please note that I've written this blog in jest please don't take it seriously.

Before I say cheerio to you I'd like to  send this blessing to each one of you!

"May the road rise up to meet you, may the wind be ever at your back.  May the sun shine warm upon your face and the rain fall softly on your fields.  And until we meet again, May God hold you in the hollow of his hand."

~Irish Blessing~

Goodbye!
