I'm famous *thud*

Since president Obama visited my homecity Dresden yesterday several pictures of me can be found in the web. Apparently people really liked my little Obama figure! I also got interviewed and appeared on some German TV-channels: ZDF, N-TV, RTL, Dresden-TV (and I have it all on tape!); plus my picture is in some newspapers as well: Dresdner Neueste Nachrichten, Morgenpost, Freie Presse and a quote without picture in the Sächsische Zeitung.

First, here are the pictures I took that day:

batch 1 (Thursday): http://dieastra.livejournal.com/5585.html

batch 2 (Friday): http://dieastra.livejournal.com/6545.html

And don't forget to look at my story how General O'Neill explained the Stargate programme to the new President: http://dieastra.livejournal.com/3687.html

Picture from Dresdner Neueste Nachrichten:



And at a stand of the Sächsische Zeitung you could get this picture:



It was here when RTL asked me what I was doing at the moment. Well, what does it look like? LOL I need to digitalize the video. It was in their main evening news, and afterwards my mother called: "I've seen you in TV!"

Dresdner Morgenpost:



Freie Presse (Chemnitz)



Video in ZDF heute:



Here's a link to the video, it jumps right to my moment: https://youtu.be/Y4M7DPXGq3c#t=1m22s

Heeeeee!

I was looking for more stuff for you, so did a Google search of "obama puppe dreseden" in German, for the last 24 hours, and up popped a link to here!

Actually, it's the Jack briefs Obama post.

Your secret is out!

banlu ---> still has her Illya Kuryakin doll, but only clothes left are his black pants and shirt

Squeee! I didn't even know you had an LJ!

Love your icon! Can I have that picture in big, please? *puppy eyes*

As for searching - I recently searched for "Stargate actionfigures" and wanted to find likeminded people - my journal was the first one on top of the google search. And somebody recently told me she searched for pictures of Jack's "In the middle of my backswing" and found this. It's amazing.

Illya Kuryakin you say? I think you should check out the LJ of lothithil (she was among our group in Vancouver, remember?) - I think this might be the same Illya she is writing about everyday (though I still have no clue ;) )

Thanks for keeping to look! (for a moment I had read "Jack in briefs" and wondered which post that should be ;) )

Illya!

Wow Loth sure is fanning over DM these days!

Ah, I was 9, and my friend and I used to play UNCLE - she sent off for UNCLE ID cards, and we had the luger-type toy guns,and we'd dress in black pants and turtlenecks and run around the neighborhood. Only problem was, I had to be Napolean and she got to be Illya, since she was blonde and I wasn't. LOL

That sounds like fun! And it proves you were a fan years before SG came along. I love it when kids take things so seriously.

Next Gatecon you'll have to bring your Illya figure, I will bring mine, we can make some pictures ;)

I never watched the show and have no clue at all what you and Loth are talking about, because where I lived in Eastern Germany we were not able to get TV from Western Germany (the rest of the republic did get it, and watched all the cool stuff). So I often feel left out when there is talking about such things, but if I ever happen to catch it on TV I'll check it out, I promise!

Well, since it was s spy show, and even though Illya was Russian, I'm not surprised it didn't get to you.

My friend moved away at the end of the first season, so I never played like that again. :(

There are episodes on Youtube

This is a highlight clip from "The Thor Affair"

(all the eps titles end in 'Affair', and each act is titled LOL)

You'll like Illya - dry humor and very smart - actually a bit like Mac ;)

And lots of gadgets LOL

BTW, Napoleon was played by Robert Vaughn, who was RDA's father on Emerald Point LOLOL

*headdesk*

Okay, scratch the "I didn't even know". Of course, I read the story about the invisible Jack there. A long, long time ago. So I really forgot - sorry!

There's an Illya doll??? How did I miss that in my proto-Fangrrl youth??? (I was a fangirl for Illya Kuryakin before I was old enough to know what a "crush" was... Watched the show when it was new, 'til my parents decided to limit our TV viewing...)

[dieastra.livejournal.com]

If you don't know it yet, you should go to [Unknown site tag] , she also posts many pictures and stories about Illya.
