Derober

Dee:
We are getting some great ideas on how John can get a date with Kelly. I must say, some of the ideas are really amazing. So much so that we’re going to post the best ideas on the site with a Derobed picture. ‘Restless’ came up with the idea that people should bring signs to a Kelly concert! Imagine Kelly looking out on a sea of people holding ‘Date John’ signs. Lol. That would just be hilarious. We’ve also heard some girls are planning to print up John’s story and deliver it to Kelly during a meet-and-greet (thread courtesy of bixblitz). So good! Believe me, he really is a gentleman. He walks me to my car everyday when we leave work. Who does that? Really.

Stacy221 at Sodahead writes that, in order to date Kelly, I should, “Become the best person you can.” And, you know what, she’s right. Just because people vote you ‘Kelly-worthy’ doesn’t make it so. I doubt Kelly’s fans want to see her with an idiot (much less Kelly herself). Starting today, I’m holding myself to a higher standard. I’m actually going to try to be a better person. I know it doesn’t happen overnight. Baby steps. Everyday, I’m going to learn a new skill. And today is platform diving. It’s going to be painful… because I’m going to suck at it.

But keep the comments and suggestions coming. Thanks again for the suggestions. Honestly, I’m reading a book tonight and I have no idea how long it’s been since I did that. Whether I get the date or not, when they close the book on this story, at least i’ll have something good to show for it as a person.

Let me preface this by saying that before I became a Derober, I was a professional headshot photographer in Los Angeles. I often have contact with celebrities and I’m not easily impressed. But there is something about Kelly Clarkson that hits a soft spot I guess, and makes me go gaga.

The whole thing happened on a Saturday morning a few months ago. Continue Reading: The Day I met Kelly Clarkson

Derober, John met Kelly Clarkson one time and totally blew the opportunity to ask her out. You can read the full story here. He wants a second chance and needs the readers’ help for that. John needs your advice on the best way you think he should go about scoring a date with Kelly. He’ll take the best advice you have and put it to work. This is no joke, John will get a second chance at a first date, it’s just a matter of how soon he gets it with your help. Check back for future updates to this saga!

Kelly Clarkson showed up at the Motorola Party last night looking beautiful in Juicy Couture. Kelly also performed at the event by all accounts was amazing. But there is a more pressing issue at hand, readers. John, our sarcastic little co-worker has a huge crush on Kelly. As many of you know, he met Kelly recently and stuck his foot so far into his mouth, I think his shoe is still in there. He wants another chance…a redo. Let’s get the word out. Use the chat rooms and email. Let the people decide. If we can generate enough interest in this, maybe Jonny will get his chance. That idiot who wanted a date with Drew Barrymore got his. Since the Derobers’ indentities are a secret, the rollover picture below is the best you’re going to get. If you want my opinion on John, I’ll say this. He’s cute and rather harmless. But Kelly-worthy. I dunno’. That’s up to you.

If I could go back in time to that hiking trail, instead of putting my foot in my mouth, I guess I’d just tell the girl that I think she’s just plain talented. And in this city full of over-hyped hacks and bubble gum princesses, it’s refreshing to know that somebody like Kelly is out there with her head screwed on right and a beautiful voice to boot. Lots of people are writing in pleading for the full story. Here’s the deal, if we get over a thousand votes, I will share. I can honestly say I really hope that never happens. Ever.
