问答题 If you could go on vacation as anyone you wanted,
who would you choose? Joel Stain decided he'd make a great Ricky Martin. Welcome
to Fantasy Island. It's an offer worthy of Mr. Roarke: Wyndham
E1 San Juan Hotel & Casino, in Puerto Rico, has developed a three-night
package in which you check in as a Celebrity. The hotel puts no
constraints on which name you choose, though President Clinton, Dracula, and Boy
George have all been rejected. (Two men were permitted to come as Rodgers and
Hart, so I'm not sure what the problem with George was.) I almost picked someone
I admired, until I realized that a weekend as Wallace Shawn might not be a
Dionysian romp. Instead I chose Ricky Martin, because he's big
in Puerto Rico, and my girlfriend chose Jennifer Lopez, because I told her to.
(It seemed more legitimate than When I make her pretend to be Jennifer Lopez at
home.) I didn't know much about Martin, so on the flight down I read
'Entertainment Weekly'. I wasn't happy about what I found out, and I don't mean
the meditation stuff. Upon landing we were greeted by a hotel
publicist and a driver, each holding a piece of paper that read Mr. Ricky Martin
and Ms Jennifer Lopez. The pomp was so unimpressive that no one at the Airport
expected Ricky and J. Lo. The lack of a crowd was a lucky break, since the hotel
had also sent a photographer who kept asking us to hold our placards and smile.
Never have the words, 'Ricky Martin' and 'giant loser' seemed so
interchangeable. On the five-minute drive to the hotel, the driver told us to
sit back, relax, and reach into the white limo's fridge for a cold can of
Medalla Light. Celebrities really do live better. At the hotel
the publicist whisked us to the Texas-themed restaurant, the Ranch, built with
real Connecticut barn wood. Nothing submerges you into the relaxing Caribbean
lifestyle as much as Texan attitude and Northeastern barn wood. The manager gave
us a complimentary platter of rattlesnake sausage and jalapeno poppers, which, I
believe, are known as the food of celebrities. He blasted Martin's song 'She
Bangs' and made five waiters run over and ask me to dance, an unpleasant thing
to demand of a celebrity, much less of someone pretending to be one. Then they
led me to the mechanical bull, which I rode until I fell off...
