The Most Beautiful Man on Earth, Matt Bomer!

I'm a heterosexual male...and I have no problem admitting that Matt Bomer may be the best looking man on Earth. The other day Matt was going to be out so we swung by to try to get our 2 11x14s and 1 8x10 done. Matt is one of the nice celebrities you'll ever have the pleasure of meeting. Everytime I see the guy he smiles and signs and takes photos with pretty much whoever asks. This night was no different. Thanks Matt.

Aly Raisman...Finally.

I've been wanting to meet Aly Raisman for some time now. Things haven't worked out so far but today felt like it could be different. Heard she was going to be out so I made a trip down. Pulled up. Flipped the keys to Edwin so he could park the car and grab some drinks at 7-11.

Walked up...and 3-5 minutes later here comes Aly! PERFECT timing. Called her over and she came right over and signed my three 12x18s for me. I also got a pic with her. Edwin barely had time to park and buy a snack at 7-11 before we were back in the car.

Vote for Aly on Dancing with the Stars. I don't watch the show but I will watch to support Aly.

Once Upon a Time at Paleyfest - Ginnifer Goodwin, Josh Dallas, Jennifer Morrison & more!!

Went to the Once Upon a Time Paleyfest recently. Here's how it all shook down.

Once Upon a Time cast during there panel at Paleyfest 2013

The crowd was wild...very into it...cheering and going crazy for their favorites (Especially Lana Parilla!) The panel was fun and the cast had a great chemistry and seemed to genuinely enjoy each other. Lots of joking around and laughing.

Robert Carlyle & Emilie de Ravin

Josh Dallas & Ginnifer Goodwin

Jennifer Morrison

Colin O'Donoghue

Lana Parrilla

Once the Panel broke...the madness began. This crowd was rabid. I got out of my chair as quick as I could to get to a good spot and hope to get a few items signed. I ended up getting into a nice spot and was able to get Jennifer Morrison on a few items.

After Jennifer signed Josh Dallas made his way over and I knocked out a few items with him.

Next up, Snow herself...Ginnifer Goodwin. Added Ginnifer to a pair of solo 11x14s and a cast item I was working on.

While Ginnifer was signing Lana Parilla made her way down the stage and squatted right in front of us and began signing. She is always so sweet and today was no different. Added her to a couple of solo 11x14s, which she loved, and finished the four person cast item I had started at the beginning with Jennifer.

Finally, Mr.Gold aka Robert Carlyle. Robert signed...and signed...and signed. I was surprised by how much he did. I added him to two 11x14 solos.

I was also able to get 1 Emilie De Ravin but alas, wasn't quick on the draw with the camera. Colin O'Donoghue also came over and signed and was very cool with the fans. Added him to an 11x14.

The panel was a lot of fun. They screened the next episode as well as the first part of the episode after that and they all took a good amount of time with the fans. Very enjoyable experience.

Marty McFly flies from Back to the Future - Michael J Fox

I'm a lover of 80's movies. Big or small I love them all...but I have a soft place in my heart for Back to the Future and Back to the Future 2!! (Let's forget #3 exists)

So Anytime I can go for Marty McFly...I'm there!! On this occassion I had heard Michael J. Fox was flying in and out on a quick trip to LA. I love Mr.Fox. Not only is the guy cool as hell and takes the time to sign for fans despite his obvious limitations or hurdles but he's nice about it. Top that off with things like Back to the Future, Frighteners and his great episode of Scrubs and it's safe to say I am a fan of this man.

Way in...madness. It was like Pooh Bear to honey. I managed to walk away with one. Edwin also escaped with one. I'll call this a success as we never really see him anymore and it's just nice to get him.

A day later it was time for Round 2. This time, things were considerably more controlled. Michael hopped out of his car after his driver had asked us to line up and began to sign. I had him right in front of me so I took this opportunity to ask him to personalize one for me. He did. The pen isn't great but I'll take it! I stuck another one out and Michael signed that too. 4 Michael J. Fox's in two days. Worth every minute!

Pretty in Pink: An 80's Icon & The Model - James Spader & Candice Swanepoel

Went for my first Victorias Secret model today. Heard she was one of the nicer ones so I headed down to the airport in hopes of catching her. Traffic wasn't kind on this day and parking was even worse. I finally got down with a little over an hour to spare.

While we were waiting we spotted James Spader. This is how the interaction with Edwin went.

Me: Edwin, come here. It's James Spader.

Edwin: <Walking over> Less than Zero James Spader?

Me: Yes.

Edwin: Oh My God, Oh My God, Oh My God...Pretty in Pink!

Me: What's wrong with your leg? <His leg began to shake 90 mph.>

Edwin: Oh My God, Oh My God, Oh My God, dude, Oh My God...

He then got his picture with Mr.Spader.
