Paris — engaged in Utah?
Maybe it's the words "FREE HUGS," emblazoned 1 foot-high on his made-for-Sundance sweatshirt (fashion tip: wear message shirt on top of your down parka). Or his carefully compiled list of actors and premiere screening locations. Both tools helped Orem's Skippy Jessop — in his own description, "a 30-year-old Mormon virgin who lives in his mother's basement" — nab 40 celebrity sightings in Park City on Saturday.
Perhaps Skippy's biggest success, however, was his cute meet with Paris Hilton on the sidewalk outside the St. Ives Sensory Spa and Gallery, 364 Main St., around 7:30 p.m. Saturday. Seconds later, the Utah celeb hunter proposed, while Her Thinness (fashion tip: black sunglasses the size of a film cannister and a white knit cap with your name embroidered in silver) graciously signed autographs and posed for a handful of pictures before she was whisked away into celebrity party land. "I'm kinda engaged to Paris," he announced to friends on his cell phone after popping the big question.
Skippy, who swears by his trusty, idiot-proof disposable Fuji camera, has been pointing-and-proposing at Sundance for several years. (Last year, his most high-profile bride-to-be was Mandy Moore.) This year he's serving as a correspondent for Salt Lake City's 93 K-BUL radio station, and will be posting fresh photo encounters on his www.iamskippy.com website.
