Tonight we anxiously awaited Mark
Wahlberg's arrival to a television talk show. Soon he appeared and we called him over. Confirming the stories that I heard about
Wahlberg being a nice guy, he came over to the awaiting line assembled and began to sign autographs and take photographs with anyone who asked. Mark took a black sharpie from the first
person in line and kept the same marker, working his way down the lengthy line. Even with 15-20 p
eople waiting, I have to say that
Wahlberg is the epitome of cool who truly appreciates his fans, generously signing an item or two for each person. My sister got 2 photographs signed and I did as well. We chose some still photographs from "Boogie Nights" and "
Invincib
le", two of my favorite films by Mark
Wahlberg. Since
Wahlberg was still signing, I pulled out an index card which he also inked. My sister took some great pics of Mark
Wahlberg signing. It's always nice to meet a celebrity but it's even better when a star of
Wahlberg's caliber takes some time out for collectors.
Unfortunately, the same can not be said for t
his year's "Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition" cover model Brooklyn Decker. Ignoring collectors both upon arriving for her television appearance and when leaving, I guess that a person's outer beauty doesn't always transcend to the inside. We all wanted to meet and hopefully get an autograph or picture with this model who dates tennis star Andy
Roddick. Many collectors left after
Wahlberg signed so signing autographs wouldn't have taken more than a couple minutes of Decker's precious time and it certainly would've gained her some new fans. It's also disappointing when collectors are blown off by Decker yet the bigger star,
Wahlberg, was more than happy to sign and greet fans.
