Hey!
Sorry for not posting quite as often as I'd like, but you know how school is!
Anyway, I was finally able to make it to London Expo, and as the Merlin cast were gonna be there, I thought I should go as Morgana in her purple dress! So, here Im just gonna comment on the Merlin side of it, and if I have time I'll add more!
So, we managed to get pretty close to the front for the Merlin talk. It was so exciting! Before it began, a camera man came out and told us all to get up and say 'We love merlin!' for the DVD extras! When Katie, Angel and the creator, Johnny Capps, came on stage, there was a big scream! I got to ask a question: 'what was the most funnist moment on set?' to which Angel replied: 'when Bradley had to film with a horse in a lake and it just decided to sit down!' XD I got to stand up and say it, and while I was waiting, Katie and Angel looked like they were discussig about my dress! When I sat down, Katie was like 'I really like your dress'!!!! Made my day! A girl gave Katie some Jelly Babies, which was sweet! There was also another girl dressed as Morgana, so I got my picture taken with her! She was so lovely!
We then went to stand in the que for autographs! They were giving out free sticker books, whoch was very cool, so I got one of them. There was also another cameraman, who was interviewing people for the specials on the Merlin DVD extras, and surprisingly, we were interviewed! We got to say why we liked Merlin, and the question I asked and also about my dress!
Upon finally reaching the stars, it was Johnny up first. I was all like 'hi' and once he had signed the poster, he was like, 'do you mind if I take a picture of your dress?' and I was like 'No....' being the star-struck idiot that I am. So he got his phone out, and Angel was all Lol at him because he didnt know how to get it on to camera! So he took a picture of me and said,'I'm gonna show this to the costume designer, Kate'!!!!! I think I might have died and gone to heaven!! And, me being me, just laughed like a maniac!!
Next up was Angel, who was very sweet, but a bit reseverd. She said how she liked my dress and signed my poster and I asked if I could have a photo and she said 'yes of course'! I said thank you and moved to Katie, where I got a very big surprise...
All i saw in my face was a camera that Katie was holding! I was like 'What the...' and Katie was saying how cool my dress was and that she REALLY liked the belt! XD She was all like 'are you me?' and I was like 'yes...', probably sounding like a complete idiot! But Katie was really sweet and said how it looked much better on me than her! I said it really doesn't! So she returned the camera and signed my poster, asking who made it and when I said me, she was like WOW. Hehe XD Then she said, 'whats your name,' and THAT took me my surprise and I said 'Anna' and she replied saying 'well,its very nice to meet you Anna,' and shook my hand!! I asked for a picture and she said, 'you can have whatever you like'!! How kind! I said thanks, and we were on our way.
All in all, a very exciting and enjoyable day! Hopefully going again in May (!) and possibly seeing the cast again in November!! But my sister, gets to see Angel and Bradley on Saturday for a book signing! Lucky girl!
