Riders.

Many celebrities have them.

They are frequently ridiculous, often expensive, and in some cases?

Completely bizarre.

Now, I’m not a celebrity or anything remotely LIKE a celebrity or even on the CUSP of celebrity, but I was thinking today… if I had a rider, what would be on it?

What kind of random things would I think to include?

Would I have specific settings for the thermostat? Would I choose the scents of my (soy and beeswax only) candles to reflect my mood? Would I demand a certain variety of cold cut, or a giant bowl of Jolly Ranchers (citrus varieties, please)?

Actually, I doubt I’d do any of it. But it’s fun to imagine.

What would be on YOUR rider?

Tell us in the comments….
