Comments: My best friend is a Disney fanatic, so when she asked me to write Ms. Mills and ask for an autograph for her, I naturally requested one for myself too. I sent her this photo of "The Parent Trap" poster because I couldn't find a decent photo of Ms. Mills anywhere. I loved "The Parent Trap" and "That Darn Cat!" as a child, so I am so happy to get this one back. Ms. Mills signed one for me and one for my friend. I might frame this. It's pretty cool!

Comments: Wow! After having a really horrible day, I came home to find this nice surprise waiting for me in the mail. I sent this photo to the publicity department of the "Vampire Diaries" set in Georgia and included a respectful letter of request for at least one signature from any of the three lead actors -- whomever had the time or inclination to sign. I'm kind of shocked that all three leads -- Nina Dobrev, Paul Wesley and Ian Somerhalder -- signed it!! It's not personalized, but that's OK. What a nice surprise. And the envelope even has a "Home of the Mystic Falls Timberwolves" sticker on it. How cool is that?

Most wanted for 2010

I had a good year for collecting in 2009. These are the autographs I want the most in 2010:

*Kristen Stewart, *Robert Pattinson, Taylor Lautner, Emily Blunt, Stephanie Meyer, *Tom Welling, Allison Mack, Mischa Collins, Sam Worthington, *Nathan Fillion, Eliza Dusku, Lena Headey, Victor Webster, *Skeet Ulrich, Anna Paquin, Sam Trammell, Ryan Kwanten, Kerr Smith, Kristen Bell, Ryan Reynolds, and William Shatner

*Does anyone have any suggestions on how to obtain these?

An old vamp favorite: Alex O'Loughlin

Sent: Uncertain (multiple tries and addresses)

I can mark another one off of my most wanted list for 2009. I've written Alex O'Loughlin multiple times since I first started watching "Moonlight," which I might add, was my favorite new show of the 2007-2008 season and further proof that I loved vampire tales before Twilight. I was upset when CBS canceled the show. Now Alex is on CBS again, in "Three Rivers, which is good but it's no "Moonlight." Each time I wrote him, I sent Alex pictures in character from "Moonlight," but he only sent me this high quality 8x10 from his new show. I'm not complaining! Not only is the photo personalized, but he put a heart sticker on the envelope beside my name and protected the picture with a piece of cardboard. I'm thrilled with this success!

Most Wanted: Review

Most Wanted for 2009

Back in January, I posted a list of my most wanted autographs from 2009. The year isn't over yet, but I thought I'd go back and review now.

Most wanted:

*Kristen Stewart, *Robert Pattinson, Ashley Greene, *Jackson Rathbone, Peter Facinelli, Nikki Reed, *Billy Burke, Stephanie Meyer, *Tom Welling, *Brandon Routh, *Alex O'Loughlin, *Nathan Fillion, Eliza Dusku, Lena Headey, Victor Webster, *Skeet Ulrich, Anna Paquin, Sam Trammell, Ryan Kwanten, Kerr Smith, Kristen Bell, Ryan Reynolds, and William Shatner

Conclusion: Not a bad year, considering I finally got Brandon Routh and I got a chunk of the Twilight cast that I wanted. However, maybe Santa will bring me Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart, my two most wanted of all, since I think I've been a good girl this year. I can hope, can't I?

My first "Eclipse" autograph!

Comments: OK, Seth Clearwater is one of my FAVORITE characters from the Twilight series of books, so when it was announced that Boo Boo Stewart would play him, he is the first person I wrote to from the Eclipse cast, and the first success I've had from it. He sent me the photo since I didn't have one to send him. I think he'll make a great Seth. I can't wait to see the movie in June!

That's Why It's Good to Be Me!

Gene Simmons
via venue (KISS concert)
Mailed: 2 8x10 photos, a SASE and a letter of request

Comments: OK, wow. This is one autograph I never expected to get back. I'm still investigating its authenticity by comparing it to real sigs elsewhere on the web, but I'm 99 percent certain it's really his signature. I wrote Gene because my best friend and I love "Gene Simmons Family Jewels." I explained what the show meant to us and asked for an autograph for both of us. Well, he only signed one picture, but considering I didn't expect to get anything back (he's a notorious non-signer unless you pay for the privilege and I have never seen a TTM success posted from him anywhere) I'm pretty happy with this success!!
