化妝舞會服飾商蘇•戈德曼很喜歡開玩笑。
而當一位做房產經紀的朋友打電話來，問是否可以跟邁克爾•傑克遜一起到她家吃晚飯時，她認為那只是另一個玩笑。
但當半個小時後，流行音樂之王本人出現在他家門口時，45歲的蘇和她的丈夫、48歲的達隆都嚇了一跳。
那是2002年12月的1個夜晚，傑克遜來到了他們位於弗羅裏達州朱庇特的家。蘇很快就給這位元音樂王者穿戴上了自己的塑膠王冠和閃亮長袍。
這位上個月卒於50歲的明星當時正在佛羅里達想找一處新房產。在帶他看了棕櫚海灘附近幾處廣闊的大宅後，房產經紀提出帶他的客戶去吃晚餐。
傑克遜同意了，但堅持要避開公眾場所，於是經紀人提議去找個比較私密的地方。
蘇解釋說：“我們的朋友突然打電話來說，‘我和邁克爾•傑克遜在一起，我們能過來吃晚餐嗎？’”
“我說，‘什麼！’我以為他在開玩笑。這是我遇到過的最不真實的事情了，我們現在想起來都還想笑。”她問朋友該給傑克遜做些什麼？傑克遜當時帶著他的孩子，五歲的普林斯和4歲的帕麗斯一起旅行。
她回憶說，“他告訴我邁克爾想吃肯德基和多米諾的批薩。”
“我沖到肯德基，買了一大份原味雞塊和超脆雞塊，然後又捎上些批薩。邁克爾還想要橙汁汽水，他顯然是它的狂熱愛好者。”
下午五點，傑克遜和家人跟著房產經紀以及一位不知名的朋友一起來了。蘇說：“我跑到前面去迎接他們。邁克爾真的很親切，說他非常喜歡我們的房子。一走進來，他就想要參觀我們家，於是我帶他上樓看看。”
“然後我們坐在休息室，而我去廚房將食物裝盤端出來。”
“邁克爾特別好玩，他看起來和普通人一樣。他說他認識住在佛羅里達的‘比吉斯兄弟’（Bee Gees），我們聊得很輕鬆。他看來是一位很負責的父親，確保他的孩子們都吃了東西。”
蘇和達隆家中當時還有一位女性朋友和她的小女兒。蘇說：“那天有六個大人和五個孩子，包括我們一個四歲、一個兩歲的孩子，非常密切。”
晚餐之後，所有人都轉移到房子後面的船塢上去看日落。這對經營化妝舞會服飾公司的夫妻為了活躍氣氛，問傑克遜和孩子們是否想穿上服裝試試？
蘇回憶說，“他們興奮地說想。普林斯想扮超級英雄，而帕麗斯想成為蜘蛛俠。然後邁克爾說，‘我想當國王！’我們簡直難以相信，流行音樂之王竟然還想要裝扮成國王。”
“達隆到店裏把所有的服裝都取來。”
之後，傑克遜表示有興趣買幾套服裝，於是達隆到辦公室去談生意。然後就到裝扮的時候了。
“那位房產經紀穿成了個皮條客，我丈夫則是《星球大戰》裏的歐比亡克諾比，邁克爾的朋友扮成了騎士，而邁克爾則是國王。”蘇說，“邁克爾幫孩子們穿上他們的服裝，而我則幫他披上國王的禮袍。他們都非常喜歡。我感覺邁克爾喜歡玩裝扮，並且還認真地扮演角色。”
但極為注重隱私的傑克遜突然停下來，讓她不要拍他的孩子——當時孩子們還仍然是嚴格保守的秘密。
照片裏，一條巨龍（服飾公司的一件道具）在大家的頭頂，傑克遜坐在一把華麗的椅子上，手裏攥著一張蘇給他的聖誕卡。（這張圖片沒找到）
她說：“封面上是我們一家的照片，他很喜歡，一整夜都拿在手裏。邁克爾感謝我們讓他度過的愉快時光，甚至邀請我們去夢幻莊園。”
最後直到午夜傑克遜才離開，還仍然帶著王冠，穿著王袍。蘇說：“他和孩子們都非常喜愛他們的服裝，所以我們讓他們一起帶走了。”
“可帕麗斯落下了她的小紅毛衣，我至今還仍然留著。”

Fancy dress business boss Sue Goldman is used to her share of practical jokers.
And when an estate agent pal rang and asked if he could he drop in for dinner with Michael Jackson, she thought it was just another wind-up.
But the joke was on Sue, 45, and her husband Darron, 48 - half-an-hour later the King of Pop himself turned up on their doorstep.
It was an evening in December 2002 when Jacko arrived at their home in Jupiter, Florida . And Sue quickly sorted out music royalty with his own plastic crown and glittery gown.
The star - who died last month aged 50 - was visiting Florida in search of a new property. And after showing him around several sprawling mansions near Palm Beach , the estate agent offered to take his client out to dinner.
Jacko agreed but insisted on avoiding public places - so the agent suggested something more intimate.
Sue explained: "Our friend called out of the blue and said, 'I'm with Michael Jackson, can we come over for dinner?'
"I was like 'What!' I thought he was joking. It was the most surreal evening I've ever experienced, we still laugh about it." She asked the friend what she should cook for Jacko, who was travelling with his children Prince, then five, and Paris, aged four.
"He told me that Michael wanted KFC and Domino's Pizza," she recalled.
"I raced round to the KFC and picked up a large order of regular and extra-crispy chicken, then I grabbed some pizzas. Michael also asked for orangecrush soda, apparently he's a big fan."
Jacko and family arrived at 5pm with the estate agent and an unknown friend. "I ran out front to greet them," said Sue. "Michael was really nice and said how much he loved our house. Once inside he asked for a tour so I took him upstairs.
"We then sat in the lounge and I went into the kitchen to dish out the food.
"Michael was great fun, he seemed like a normal guy. He said he knew the Bee Gees who lived in Florida , it was light conversation. And he seemed a hands-on father, making sure his children ate something."
Sue and Darron had a female friend staying at the time with her young daughter. "There was six adults and five kids, including our two aged four and two, it was very intimate," said Sue.
After dinner everyone moved outside to the dock behind the family's house to watch the sunset. But to spice things up the couple, who run a fancy-dress company, asked Jacko if he and the kids wanted to try on some costumes.
"They excitedly said yes, Prince wanted to be a superhero and Paris wanted to be Spiderman" recalls Sue. "Then Michael said, 'I want to be King! ' We couldn't believe this was happening, the King of Pop wanting to dress up like a king.
"Darron went over to the store and picked up all the outfits."
After dinner Jacko expressed an interest in buying some costumes, so Darron went to his office to talk business. Then it was time to dress-up.
"The real estate guy was a pimp, my husband was Obi-Wan Kenobi from Star Wars, Michael's friend was a knight and Michael was a king," said Sue. "Michael helped the children put their costumes on and I helped him with his regal gown. They loved it. I got the sense Michael loved to dress up and really played the part."
Sue took a few happy snaps of the evening including a group picture.
But secretive Jackson stopped short of letting her include his children - at that point the kids were still a guarded secret.
I
n the shot a huge dragon - a prop from the costume firm - towers over the group. Jacko's sat in an ornate chair clutching a Christmas card given to him by Sue.
She added: "It had a picture of my family on the front, he loved it and held it all night. Michael thanked us for a wonderful time and even invited us to Neverland."
It ended just before midnight with Jacko walking off still in his crown and gown. "He and the kids loved the outfits so much we said to keep them," explained Sue.
"But Paris left her little red sweater behind which I still have."
