It Was The Calm Before The Storm... The Floodgates Have Opened...

I thought it had gone dead quiet on the autograph front but when I got home today, a great big pile of post was waiting for me, and only one envelope contained a bill...! The highlight was a signed picture of Marco Pierre White, but hearty congratulations also go to Frank Skinner, Adrian Chiles (including Christine Bleakley's autograph but sadly she can't really score points as I didn't ask for it!!), Karren Brady and the ladies from GMTV...! A bumper day!

I'm finding that so far, celebrities 'do' seem to care about the little people and have no problem sending something out, in the main by first class post, with a compliments slip and in a DO NOT BEND envelope, but it will be interesting to see how I get on with the megastars! I have tested the water by sending requests to Tom Cruise and Will Smith via their official websites. All of the autograph hunting sites say that your chances of getting an autograph from a huge name will be increased if you send a photo or magazine picture for them to sign, along with a pre-paid envelope and a nice letter... Nah! That isn't for me... I think that makes it far too easy. This is about spending no money at all, after all, their true fans will have spent loads on their products and merchandise already...

I am having some difficulty in contacting certain celebrities, but more of that will be in another post...
