It think one of the most stupid and awkward things I’ve done so far this year was when I contacted Donna Bottman with this silly question: ‘Are you the girl of the Pet Shop Boys video Domino Dancing?’
Let’s face it, we all would get tired of being asked the same question over and over again 21 years long, wouldn’t we.
So her reaction on my question was very simple.
She just ignored me and let me find my answer on Google.
You see, it was just one of these days where I asked myself (again) what has become of a certain person.
In this case my mind went back in time to the girl that grabbed the attention of every straight guy I knew back in 1988. Just for the record: I was one of them. Overnight she became the symbol of the ultimate femme fatal, at least in my surroundings. A girl that seemed to be the manifestation of the wise old advice: be afraid of what you wish for (or something like that).
So, what is Donna Bottman doing today? Did she became a movie star? A singer? I guess we can agree on a ‘no’ here, otherwise we would have heard more of her after her performance in the mentioned music video.
Donna is sales manager at the Hilton Ponce Golf & Casino Resort in Puerto Rico and she is still a beautiful woman.
It’s like I attracted the circumstances today. While I began writing this post I found this special alternative version of Domino Dancing. It sounds very alternative and it seems that there is a lot more Donna in it than in the original version. Enjoy:
Hmm too bad she ignored you :p
Wonder what she looks like today?
she just said (yes I am kind regards)to the same question
Yes she become a icon in my city in Sweden to. Even to day I can easily recall her appearance in my mind. Thanks for a good post miri.
Love from Sweden
Can i just say that i loved the headline of your blog: All day, all day!
So catchy
Of course you can
I had no better idea for a headline. By the way this article drives me nuts as it always climbs up to the top of most read ones here and I think there is much more interesting stuff to find on this blog.
I’m sure there is much more interesting stuff, but the thing is (i think) people google Donna Bottman and end up at your blog, cause that’s how i came here… I searched for the song on youtube, saw the beautiful Donna Bottman and was wondering what became of her… So i googled her..
This is true. Most visitors to this article come from search engine results.
Have a nice stay at my blog.
