Just another ordinary day

UPDATE: CONGRATULATIONS TO OUR UNSCRIPTED WINNER!
* Eric K. (#25)

Our winner has been notified via email

Yesterday was a day just like any other, really.  Nothing out of the ordinary happened at all.  Woke up, started working, talked to Patrick Dempsey.

Hmm?  Patrick?  Yeah, just Patrick Dempsey.  No biggie.

How did the conversation go?  You really want to know?  I mean, because really, it’s not a big deal at all.  Me and Patrick are like “this” (do the whole, cross your fingers thing – yeah, that one).

Ok, so you really want to know what we talked about?  This is kind of silly because I mean, geez, we get on like any other regular buddies do.  Alright, you’ve pulled my arm.

So, I called up Patrick.  Yeah, I have his number.  Although, he really ought to let up on the security over the phone…making me “announce” myself and give a “passcode” and whatnot.  Come on now Patrick!  Is all of that really necessary?

I digress.  I called him up and we made small talk.  Of course, he’s such a popular guy, he had to mute me on occasion to accept a delivery at his door and oh, that pesky call waiting of his.  We must have been interrupted by other callers a million times.  Anyway, I called him up because he’s got this fantastic new fragrance with Avon called “Unscripted” and I just HAD to talk to him first-hand about it.  Here was our conversation, in a nutshell:

Me: Hey Patrick!  How are ya?  How are Jillian and the kids?  Gosh, it’s been so long!  Are you all ready for the holidays?  I’d love to drop by again soon, I have gifts for the kids.

Patrick:  Hey Aims!  Good to hear from you!  The family is doing great.  Man, when was the last time we spoke?  My goodness, has it been that long?  Gifts for the kids?  Oh, you SHOULDN’T have!  You’re the best, Aims.

Me: So, Patrick!  Tell me ALL ABOUT Unscripted!  I’m just so THRILLED for you!  It must have been something, designing this lovely scent from start to finish.  It’s just so…unexpected!  I just couldn’t be happier for you!

Patrick: Yes, well, it has been amazing being involved in the entire process.  I love the scent, I wear it every day.  I’m so glad to hear that Eric likes it!  I really had him in mind when choosing the layers, including the black pepper in the top layer and the lavender in the middle – come on, Aims, I knew  that you’d love that one!  And of course the finishing touches of musk, vetiver and patchouli.  This scent is really all about following your passion.

Me: Well, Patrick, you have really hit the nail on the head with Unscripted.  I can imagine there will be a lot of great smelling men and their very pleased ladies after they get a bottle of your new fragrance in their hands.  I hate to cut our conversation short, really, I do!  But I must get going now.  Tell the family hello and lets not wait so long to chat again, shall we?

So, really, that was the jist of our conversation.  Interestingly enough, I was blog-hopping earlier and came across some other ladies who apparently also decided to put their call in to Patrick right around the time that I did.  Like Beth from I Should Be Folding Laundry, Arianne from To Think is To Create, Steph from Adventures in Babywearing, Michelle from Scribbit, Janice from 5 Minutes for Mom, Trisha from MomDot, Katja from Skimbaco Lifestyle, Kim from Jogging in Circles and Maria of Blue Suit Mom.

Hmm?  You visit their blogs too?  Oh, alright.  You caught my bluff.  We were all on the call with Patrick together.  Rain on my parade, why don’t ya?  Oh well.  A girl can dream, can’t she?  Thanks to Maria for making this call happen and including all of us star-struck bloggers (who, by the way, Patrick really appreciates!).

We have some McDreaminess to share with you.  How would you like to surprise your man (or men, surprise your women?) with Patrick’s brand new fragrance, Unscripted?  Here’s your chance.

    I would ask two questions.

    1. What fragrance did he wear before?
    2. What was the inspriation behind doing this?

  • ¬ Stephanie D
    #11982 December 11th, 2008 at 12:02 pm

    I would ask; 1. does he wear this fragrance all the time now? 2. Waht would he do different if given another chance?

    You girls are a hoot. Very obvious why you were selected to do the calls.

    I would ask:

    1. Do you REALLY wear the fragrance?

    2. Is anyway to get a Dempsey Doll, slather it with the fragrance and call it our very own? :D

    That was nice of you to take time out of your day to chat with Patrick :) If I had a chance to shoot the breexe, I would ask him:

    1) What is the story behind the name “Unscripted” and does it refer more to the fragrance or his own life experiences?

    2) What were some of the other possible names that were thrown around (and rejected)? Maybe “Can’t Buy Me Love”?

    Thanks for the fun giveaway!

    Hmm, only half a dozen comments into this, and there are already a whole bunch of better ideas than the one I had, haha!

    I would ask how he chose the components of the fragrance. Did he like, say, vetiver or patchouli scents previously, or did he just like how they blended together?

  • ¬ Janet F
    #12167 December 12th, 2008 at 3:53 am

    I would ask if he was going to create another one after this.

    Definitely ask about the origin of the name ‘Unscripted’
    Also, whether he will continue with additional fragrance lines

  • ¬ DesignHER Momma
    #12281 December 12th, 2008 at 1:20 pm

    well, the designer/architect is going to show through here. I probably would have asked him if he had any say in the concept/shape of the bottle. Fragrance bottles always have intrigued me…

    This sounds like a great scent! I wondered if he would considered a womens scent? Thanks!

  • ¬ katelin
    #12597 December 14th, 2008 at 11:00 pm

  • ¬ Linda Kenni
    #12608 December 15th, 2008 at 12:13 am

    If given the chance I would ask him these questions:

    ” What inspired you to make this perfume?” and “Are you satisfied with its final fragrance?” and lastly “If you were to promote your the perfume,what are the things that you will say that will make customers want to buy it?”.

  • ¬ Kristin
    #12610 December 15th, 2008 at 12:16 am

    I think I would be to shocked to ask anything. It would come out as “blah blah blah, your so hot, blah, blah.”

  • ¬ Jessica P
    #12612 December 15th, 2008 at 1:11 am

    I would ask him what part of his body he wears the fragrance on!

  • ¬ Michelle H
    #12617 December 15th, 2008 at 2:14 am

    I would ask him what scent he wore before “Unscripted”. I’d also love to know what he likes to smell on women.

    Ha! That is hilarious. I totally believe you- I know the call was just like that :)

  • ¬ Lindsay
    #12631 December 15th, 2008 at 4:09 pm

    I would ask Patrick if his wife Jillian planned on creating a female fragrance that was a kin to his.

  • ¬ Jean D.
    #12636 December 15th, 2008 at 5:19 pm

    I’d ask Patrick which actors have influenced him most, especially in preparing the film, UNSCRIPTED.

    Great giveaway. Thanks!

    I would ask him how long the whole process took?

  • ¬ sarah b.
    #12674 December 16th, 2008 at 3:35 pm

    Oooh. I’d ask him what it is about the scent that expresses his personality better than any other scent. Also, is he naked when he puts it on every morning? Or half clothed? Just curious.

  • ¬ Summer
    #12712 December 17th, 2008 at 12:11 am

    I would ask what he wore before? And will a womens fragrence be following soon?

  • ¬ Cecilia
    #12718 December 17th, 2008 at 3:52 am

    What imput did you provide for the creation of unscripted?

  • ¬ Eric Kneidel
    #12733 December 17th, 2008 at 11:10 am

    I thought it was real until the end… Was it really? I still don’t know.

  • ¬ Marsha C
    #13820 October 20th, 2009 at 6:15 pm
