In
September, I got to have a super big fangirl moment when I got to meet Icy aka
E.L. James. She will always be Icy to me because when I read Master of the Universe
that was who she was in our fandom.
I
occasionally tweet with her. She’s a busy women with all she has going on. I'm always thrilled when she tweets me back.
I
was really excited that she was doing a book signing in Seattle and happy to
meet the person that created the characters that I love Fifty, Anna and her inner
goddess and of course who doesn’t like reading a little kinky fuckery !
I
went with @tispy_daisy. We met up with @Red_Bella and her friend and my new
friend @Eeyorefan12.
We
stood in line and had so much anticipation. I had my camera ready to take pics
of @tispy_daisy and @Red_Bella but missed the moment. They went by so fast. I
didn’t have time. It was basically her people handing her the book to sign and
saying this is so & so. She signed the book and then the next person.
After Icy
signed @tispy_daisy’s book she looked up at me and stood up and said “Chye-Lin.”
I walked up to her and gave her a big hug! I was truly fangirling. She
recognized me from my twitter picture so inside I was like “Squeee!!!” I made her some Rob Pins and gave them to her.
She handed them to her manager and told her not to lose them! I told her it was
lovely meeting her and thanked her for coming to Seattle and she thanked me and
the moment was over.
@Eeyorefan12 captured this moment of the hug! |
It was sooooo fast and such a fangirl moment for me! Fun highlight to my year!
Awwww, Chye-Lyn, thank you for sharing this lovely moment :-)
ReplyDeleteIt's a brilliant feeling to meet with people you've tweeted with all over the world and I'm so happy for you that you got to meet - and hug - Icy. I do believe your work changed my life - and for the better! :-)
