You can't see it in this pic, as the photographer did it not the other way round, but I had my hands on John's bum, grabbing hard. He wants it like that ;) I had to do it even twice as they called me back for another one.

Phew! On Monday John Barrowman had to cancel a TV show where he wanted to promote his upcoming tour because he had lost his voice. We all feared he had gotten ill at the convention from hugging all those people. I especially was worried as it had been me who said that I had wanted to touch his biceps, and he took off the hoodie he wore to show off his muscles, and then stayed like that for the rest of the pictures. It was cold and drafty in the room, and I never would have forgiven myself if it had been my fault that the concert on Saturday needs to be cancelled!

But today he tweeted a video, he is rehearsing and looking good, and it was actually a bad reaction of his shellfish allergy (again). Even traces of it in his food make him go ill. He says he is better now but we were quite worried the past few days.

So, now I can show you what I got to do with him! This biceps was really firm, I pressed it hard.



I also got shooting lessons:

Well, we are getting closer to the fun stuff. Two pictures of me with John Barrowman from Saturday.

Especially for sueworld2003 ;)

Next up was James Marsters. Originally his shoot clashed with John's, so we were very happy to get it earlier. As it meant I could get it signed at the same day.

I can confirm what everyone says - he is a very sweet gentleman. He shook everyone's hand at the autograph table.
He also thought that JB would abuse his power at the Torchwood set with groping all his female co-workers and tried to tell them how to defend themselves - only they actually did not want to LOL

The past weekend was full of laughter, and I managed quite some wonderful pictures. Will post them in the order the were done ;)

Here's the first one - Kai Owen. He obliged when I asked if he could pick me up. He also liked my shirt and asked where to get it (but it had been only available for one day):

It's 2 AM but I am still here, flailing about so many things at once, I don't even know where to start!

- the Public Choice Award and the Golden Globe for Matt Bomer

- that his Monty Clift movie will be made by HBO. I'll only have to wait like 2 years to be able to see it? So expect lots more flailing

- the announcement of the Torchwood radio plays

- the new weekly John Barrowman radioshow on Sundays. First one two days ago and I loved it!

- actually still not finished writing (and flailing) about the John Barrowman pantomime in Glasgow and the pictures we took, so expect more from that as well

- upcoming events this year: Torchwood Convention, John Barrowman concert tour and Benedict Cumberbatch as Hamlet on stage

- in May I will be able to purchase new Arrow action figures

- Today also Big Chief announced the headsculpt for their other Tenth Doctor 1:6 figure - in blue suit this time and with spiky hair. I am so getting that!

So, yeah. I guess you understand why I can't sleep?

Edit: I just realized I forgot one important thing to flail about! Every month we have a contest in our action figure group on Facebook and my entry for December won and is now for a month the header of the group! Isn't that awesome?
