Charisma Says Hi!

Kika · 06-25-2005, 07:07 AM

I've got a few minutes to spare whilst we wait for one of the talks to start at the London Film and Comic Con, so I thought I'd post quickly about meeting Charisma.

It was only very brief as she had a lot of people to get through (she was one of the most, if not the most, popular guests there) but she was so very nice, waving at the people in the crowd. And if you can believe it, she was even prettier in person too. Anyway, after she'd finished signing the photo I'd given her I mentioned that we'd come from Stranger Things to see her, and she looked pretty surprised. She asked me to say hi to all her fans here, so hi!

Sadly, we couldn't really get any decent photographs as she didn't want flash photography (not that I can blame her as it does look annoying) but hopefully somebody else did. I know at the start people were allowed close ups and she was even posing for them, too.

Anyway, I have to go. Times up. More when I get back

Aw, I'm glad you got to meet her and had such a nice time.

Platypus · 06-25-2005, 10:10 AM

Thanks Kika! I hope you have a great time at the rest of the con!

angelicgal82 · 06-25-2005, 11:58 AM

Forgive me if this comes out rambly but... I just met Charisma. *dies of geeker joy*

I followed Darlakane, Kika and Andrea in the queue to get autographs and Charisma said, "Are you a Stranger too?" I was like, "Yes!" LOL. I gathered from that that Kika had told her she was a Stranger 'cause we were all standing together.

Charisma signed my photograph of her (pretty Seaon One promo shot), I told her it was really great to meet her and then we were on our way.

We went back later on for the John Barrowman talk and tried to get in some pictures of Charisma while we were loitering around, heh. I got a couple (not really many 'cause the stewards there were all "no photos") but some of them didn't look to be all that good quality, unfortunately. Plus, there was this big dude with an even bigger arm who kept standing in my way. Grrrr.

I still managed to get one taken with her after taking one of her with some random convention goer (lol) 'cause he didn't have anyone else to take the picture. The others were gonna try and get one taken too until the steward got all pissy and "no photos" again.

Charisma was really nice about it and told him "just one more and then we're done" so I got my photo with her after all.

She's so nice!

Kika · 06-25-2005, 11:58 AM

Just finished the con for the day. We were fortunate enough to be able to go back to see Charisma a second time as there was a short lull in the queue. We asked if she'd pose for a photo, which she happily agreed to. Unfortunately, she'd only managed to do one other personal photo (with some guy who'd went up to ask with us) before a steward came across and told her no more photos were allowed. Charisma told him just one more so Christie (angelicgal82) luckily managed to get one of the two of them together. It was very sweet of her.

Oh, and Emma? We saw you in the John Barrowman talk but totally missed you on the way out. One year we'll catch you *g*

Penny Century · 06-25-2005, 12:05 PM

w00t!

One of these days, that publicist is gonna help me set up a Stranger Interview. Yes, I'm sure of it.

Meanwhile, it's great there are Strangers at the con to represent. Y'all have fun, and let us know if CC does a talk!

Angela · 06-25-2005, 12:24 PM

And even after all this time, it still makes me juuuust a little giddy to have confirmation that she remembers us. Whee!!!

Thanks, ladies! Glad to hear you all had a great time.

You did? FRONT ROW BABY! Seriously, he was almost too close.

....

Oh yeah, CC. Heh. Saw her early on, no phosed photos sadly but I did get a few of her, not sure how they turned out though, shall have to check later.

I got a copy of the UK CC ad signed, where she found out I designed it (cos, you know, I may have mentioned it. LOL). She said it was wonderful and so was I, so I was a happy bunny.

I also have a ST pressie soon I'll scan for you soon, as is my tradition, and she said 'You guys are wonderful, you've done so much for me'.

Of course when I was talking to her, she couldn't hear me so I had to keep leaning closer and closer and closer, and then my attention kinda drifted to how nice her skin was and how pretty she was lol. Had to stay focused.

FYI, for those interesed in the rest of LFACC (Who, Firefly), I'm posting those reports and photos in my Live Journal, so head over there for those. Should be posting stuff as soon as I've eaten.

One pack of sweets to live off all day. Am starved!

ETA: All my photos of CC turned out rubbish. Shall have a play in hopes of saving some, but I'm doubtful, they're giving my motion sickness. LOL

Perhaps tomorrow I'll have more luck.

Gabriella · 06-25-2005, 02:26 PM

Isn't she lovely?

Thanks Kika!

argel · 06-25-2005, 03:48 PM

That's awesome, you guys. I'm so glad you got to meet her. She's really great to talk to, and very pretty in person. And she loves us here at ST!

Penny, if you ever do set up that interview, it would make me feel a lot better. I still sometimes beat myself up about looking like an idiot that night of "Cats and Dogs" when I didn't know we were even trying for an interview. So, interview = good, argel looking stupid = bad.

Once again, hooray for all the Con-goers who represented for the rest of us Strangers. I hope your entire con experience was as good as meeting Charisma.

***argel***

Trillian · 06-25-2005, 04:13 PM

Gah! You lucky people! What a sweetheart CC is and I am completely envious. Thanks for your reports though, looking forward to Emma's pressie!

I got a couple of decent pictures, but one of them - my favourite one - is SMUDGED. SMUDGED, I tell you. I'm not inpressed.

Anyway, I had no idea Charisma knew who we, (Stranger Things), were. I told them I was from ST and her whole face just lit up. I'm not kidding. I asked her about future projects and she says she has a film coming out on Lifeline at some point... (yay!), and she told me to tell everyone 'thanks'.

Anyone any good at de-smudging pictures? I got some great ones of John Barrowman too.

KarKar · 06-25-2005, 06:14 PM

That's really cool that you guys were able to see her and let her know that she has supporters. Also glad to hear that you guys were able to hook up and have a good time together at the convention.

But that line made me crack up, "We came from Stranger Things."
