Chapter One

As I came in from work, I switched on the Television, more for company then content.  My timing was incredible as a new show was just about to air.  Intrigued by the plot, I took a seat.  Almost immediately I was viewing an extremely attractive actor.  

He was dressed in one of those super 'macho' costumes, playing the kind of powerful character that is created to attract the female eye.  As the program was a science fiction / fantasy kind there weren't too many limits on what he could or could not do, and that slight alien tilt he possessed forced the focus.

I'd never seen him before, but then I did not watch much television and was somewhat out of the loop when it came to these kinds of celebrities.  I assumed he was somebody, and I just did not know it.

I grabbed my coffee, sat back, and enjoyed the show. Although the plot was interesting, I was more fascinated by the actor.   At the close of the program, I got the credits to catch his name, then did a search on the Internet.   I assumed to find the usual reams of information, but, surprisingly, found very little.

Apparently, he had been in a daytime soap opera and now this presentation.  

It seemed odd to me, for he had been rather significant so I wondered how he'd been ignored, but as I had a life his existence was not so central that I would spend my hours searching.  All that perplexed, was how could someone so striking, with such presence, be an 'unknown?'

I say this at the outset because I was about to plunge into a tragically sad world of those pathetic women who had no life.  Failed women who devoted themselves to an actor who had no idea they were alive; or contrarily, was aware of them, and wished he wasn't.

I was entering a zone of middled aged women who, for lack of reality were fixated on this actor.

It is one thing for young women to scream at a rock star and plaster their room with posters of their 'idols'.   It is rather repulsive when women over forty, over fifty, become fanatical in their following of a very minor actor.

I had not imagined such a sub-culture existed had I not tumbled down the rabbit hole into what is called a 'Fan Board'.
