Who me...?

 

So we were at an "event".  Like a small socially distant event.  But not like something you would dress up for...or look even close to your best.  To be honest I probably looked a little like death.  No makeup and very little sleep.  

As per our usual we were taking photos.  On the way out we saw there was a backdrop to take pics in front of.  One of my girls and I were about to selfie when I heard someone say "please let me".  When I looked up there was this stupidly attractive guy.  He kinda looked like a cross between Jake Gyllenhaal and Chris Hemsworth.  Not tall but extremely cute with crystal blue eyes and a full beard.  Um okay....sure.

So I gave him my phone to snap a couple pics.  This turned into a 10 min, multiple picture photo shoot.  

"okay now you do this"

"Now look that way"

"No masks, lets see those pretty smiles"

We were cracking up.  He was CLEARLY having a good time making us giggle. Then my husband walked up.  He froze for a split second and was like

"we need you in there, sir, get in the middle"

So many more pics but not quite as silly.  He smiled almost shyly and handed me back my phone. 

It was one of those rainy days so we bolted to our vehicle to go home.  When we got to the car my girl was like "I don't know which one of us he was flirting with but he was obviously flirting with us...right?!"

Yes ma'am 100%.  Hubs was like, I can't leave y'all alone for 5 min. 

When I looked at the pics they were great!  We looked so naturally happy because he was making us laugh.  There were close ups of both of us individually and together.  Some with our heads back cracking up or bent over belly laughing. 

So I am not sure if he was hitting on one of us or just a really nice, funny guy but he made our day.  Plus did I mention he was really really cute so I guess if he was flirting, we were flattered.

Lucky Dogs for Lunch

I know its a couple days late but this weekend was soooooo much fun.  Wizard World was PACKED Saturday...P.A.C.K.E.D.  We saw Grinches and Doctors and Harley Quinns and Wolverines and and and.  And pick something the cosplays were on point.  Although I must say my absolute FAVORITE was a guy dressed as King Jaffe Joffer!!!  I don't have a pic bc  my phone was misbehaving something awful (stupid cracked screen!) BUT he looked like f**king James Earl Jones.  His cosplay was perfection. 

Oh if you don't know that would be the King from Coming to America....

A close second was Wolverine.  This guy was Logan and you can't convince me otherwise.

See...seeeeeeeeeeeee.  And he was very nice about everyone asking for pics. 

I will also mention the PLETHORA of f**king people dressed as Pennywise.  I have no pics because I basically beelined it away from them but the costumes were accurate...VERY accurate *shudder*.

Anyways, I was super stoked for my pic, right?   Right!  And can I just say David Tennant is like the nicest freaking person ever.  He was like hyper puppy excited the entire time.  He took pics Friday evening and twice Saturday with Autographs in there someplace and a panel.  And the energy never faltered. 

I took my pic during the first session Saturday.  I was probably the hundred and something person he saw and still just happy happy.  Like how do you do that?  I know its part of the job but it seemed 100% genuine. 

So anyways, here's my account.  I was in line forEVER but that's cool, I kept myself amused by people watching, of course!  I was wearing a t-shirt...one of these years I am going to dress up!  That is happening dammit!  Anyways, I was in a Star Wars/Doctor Who mash up shirt. 

So I finally get to the front of the line "yay"!!!!  He was friendly with everyone and all laughing and smiles.  It gets to my turn and I get a "point at" (Maybe a 'okay your turn'...maybe a 'nice shirt'...maybe a weird tick...no clue) and a crazy enthusiastic "Hellooooo, Good Morning!!!!" (I don't know how to type out a Scottish accent properly) and my response.. "Hello" with the biggest stupidest cheesy smile.  I am so f**king lame...hahahaha.  Then a 1, 2, 3 picture and you are off. 

Observations:
- where does he get his freaking energy?!?!
- JFC he is significantly taller than I realized...or I am just short...or both. 
- No really I fit under his armpit
- Seriously though, he had to lean over to put his arm around me
- He is so accommodating to fans
     - a couple had him do a gender reveal and he was crazy excited
     - some ladies had him hold a thing like he was crocheting and it was adorable

People always say don't meet your favorite whatevers because they never live up to your expectations but this was not the case for like the 3 seconds hahaha.  The panel was great too.  Again, INSANELY excited.  How does he do that?!?!?!

So all in all a crazy fun day!  Saw Stan Lee from a distance.  Saw Jason Momoa by being a creeper (shoosh). Side note - I knew he was tall but good lord he is a big guy!  Saw Rowena (Ruth Connell-Supernatural) just chilling in her Autograph booth.  Saw Thomas Ian Nicholas taking selfies and looking like he was having a great time.  The Fonz...the freaking FONZ (Henry Winkler) was there.  I didn't get to meet any of these people because that would have been crazy expensive but just seeing them was super cool!  Also, ran into Rob Kerkovich walking around (Sebastian-NCIS NOLA), told him hello but I didn't ask for a pic...because I am lame.  He is so super sweet! 
 
I love love love going to these.  Its so much fun.  Just being there, walking around, surrounded by other fans...just that its worth it.  Meeting/seeing your favorite celebs is Lagniappe. 

So now I have a pic with David & Jenna.  Who will I get to meet next time?!?!?!  Maybe I should venture away from Doctor Who....NAH!  Or maybe...depends on who is coming. 

Just some sights we saw (wish I had more of the cosplays...stupid phone!):

I was in line and couldn't get their attention

Cool set up at one of the booths WWTW 

Eeep

Baby

Let go Back....to the future!

I can't contain her...she is breaking freeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

No no no ...not an Alien (check please)....my inner fangirl...she is trying to escape

In 3 days-ish I'll be at WWNOLA.  Yay!!!!!!!   I missed last year (boooooooooo) but we got our tix for this year (yaaaaaaaay).

I'd be excited just for that but I am suuuuuuuuuuuuper excited about my photo op.  I try not to be weird but I am totally being weird.  He's one of my favorite actors! 

I'm sure I'd be the same way if I took a pic with any of my other favs.  Probably.  More than likely.  Yea, no, for sure.  I mean I wanted to meet Stan Lee

but $120 for his signature.......I'm good.

And apparently there is a panel.  I didn't know we had panels.  I don't remember panels.  I am going to attempt to attend said panel.  I've never been to a panel.  I'm going to stop saying panel.......PANEL. 

Nah...okay maybe a little...shhhhhh

Anyways, I'm having a moment...Ex-cah-uuuuuuuse me! 

Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Its still in the 30's down here, I think my brain is a bit frozen so I'm going wrap myself in more blankets and attempt to type...I can't feel my fingers!

SIDE NOTE - I just read this in the "rules"....."❿ There is absolutely no personal photography, no videography and no autographs in the photo bay. No exceptions. Also absolutely no kissing of the guests or asking to be kissed by them."
Is that something people do or did?!?!?!  That's creepy weird...DON'T BE CREEPY WEIRD. Remember, these are REAL people...with REAL lives...REAL families...that's just.......

Music, why you do this to me?!?

Sorry, sorry for the "internet speak" but two different musicians have me having feelings at the moment...completely opposing feelings.  My feelings are confused.  Dammit, I came here to have a good time and I am just feeling so many things right now.

First up, Mr. Ed...Sheeran (tee hee hee).

OMG is that a baby Ed (I mean a really baby Ed not the fact that he is STILL a baby...24 Good Lord!)?  This was the most ADORKABLE video ever!  Then I looked up the lyrics and...shut up, I'm not crying I just cut an onion or something.  He needs to stop with his amazing music. 

Seriously though (just a taste):
We keep this love in a photograph
We made these memories for ourselves
Where our eyes are never closing
Hearts are never broken
Times forever frozen still

Then in a totally unrelated video...Mr. Levine apparently broke the internet.  I've watched the video.  Yes, I saw his butt...I don't remember much else, I may have blacked out (kidding, sort of).

With that said, I cannot link the video here (well, I did link the page but if you click it, it may still be not there) because it was removed from YouTube sometime after I watched it!  STG! I went to look it up and its on the Official Maroon 5 YouTube page but it has been blocked stating "This video contains content from UMG, who has blocked it on copyright grounds." What?!?!  But it is their video...right?!!?!? I so confused.  And now I wont get to watch it again and see what I missed, pahaha.  Told you I have a type and I guess it also includes tattoos in some cases.
