Pamela Anderson Signs For Collectors

Pamela Anderson continued her recent good signing ways, autographing collector's items on the way out after her appearance on Larry King Live earlier tonight (4/14/2010). Anderson hit a couple of items on her way into the building but signed more when she was leaving. She signed 7 or 8 total autographs before jumping into her awaiting SUV. I was one of the lucky ones, securing Pamela in beautiful blue Sharpie on a photograph. The autograph in this instance is her typical large-sized "P" and a connected loop that resembles the number "2."

Pam Anderson Launches Vegan Shake at Millions of Milkshakes

Pamela Anderson has long been a supporter of animal charities, including PETA, so when it came time for her to launch he milkshake, there was only one way for her to do it - a vegan shake! Vegans strive to not consume animal products of any kind, so this presents some challenges when creating a milkshake, but Pam and Millions of Milkshakes did it. Pamela was scheduled to arrive at 3pm, but par for the course on these events, she showed up closer to 4:00. Pam posed for the paparazzi, signing a few autographs on her way in. Unfortunately, I was unable to get her before she entered the store. Actor Corey Feldman showed up apparently there to support Anderson and signed a few autographs before making his way into the store. Many in the crowd had been waiting for hours, so a "VIP" line was assembled. Fortunately, I was able to secure a place in the middle of the line. Anderson came out of the front door, signing and posing for pictures with the VIP line. I was able to meet Pam and had her sign a photograph for me with the black Sharpie she was holding. Soon after this, the line began to dissolve and it became a situation of every man for himself. Unfortunately, this happens all too often at events, so it was to be expected. I was able to get Pamela on some more photos, index cards and even snapped a couple of photos with her. I took some video of the event which I have posted in this blog. The signatures themselves are of varying degree in quality but all were much better than Pamela's typical autograph these days. When I got Pam in a crowd, after a television taping appearance, the autograph I received was a capital "P" line. Today's autographs were large, bold autographs even consisting of a capital "P", a loop for "a", "m" and "l". Most autographs were signed in black Sharpie but Pam did sign with a blue Sharpie that I handed her.



Pamela Anderson at Millions of Milkshakes:

Pamela Anderson and Snoop Dogg Give It Up For Collectors

Renowned as an international sex symbol, Pamela Anderson appeared on the Tonight Show (3/24/10) and on the way out, stopped to sign for collectors. The amassed group went crazy, pushing and fighting for a precious Pamela autograph. We were fortunate enough to secure Pam's signature on a shot of her as C.J. Parker from "Baywatch". Anderson's autograph is little more than a capital "P" these days but nonetheless, it was a score and a great addition to the collection. One thing's for sure with Pam, wherever she goes it is sure to draw attention and typically results in chaos from clamoring collectors.

A few minutes later, musical guest Snoop Dogg rolled by in a rather average-looking car, not the expected limousine or SUV. Also surprising was that he was driving himself, without security or an entourage in tow. Snoop rolled the passenger side window a bit, taking items one at a time and placing his autograph on them. We knew that Snoop is a great signer and were pleased with adding 7 signed photographs to the collection. Now that's truly racking out with the biggest pimp of them all, the Snoop Dogg!

Jay Leno has been leaving from a different exit lately but we tracked him down to an alternative side exit. My sister was first to spy Leno approaching us from a distance in one of his vintage automobiles. With his window rolled down, my sister called out, "Can you please sign?" Jay replied, "Sure" so we ran up to his window where he signed a photo for each of us. Jay took off down the road, waving to those who gestured to him while tooted the horn on his car. Leno seems to enjoy his fans and seems really comfortable with the attention.

Next, it was off to Hollywood for a taping of a television show that evening. Gerard Butler and Gabrielle Union were the scheduled guests and Union was already in the studio by the time we arrived. At least twenty people were already lined up, waiting for autographs so we were unsure how successful our hunt would be. Celebrities are much more willing to come over and sign autographs for a manageable, smaller-sized crowd than a large group as tonight's. Even more collectors and fans arrived after us, lining up behind us. Butler waved to us when he arrived when we called over to us but he went inside the building as well. We were still holding out hope that Butler would oblige us after his taping. Almost two hours later, sure enough, Butler made his way over to the assembled crowd that was now numbering close to 50+ people, grabbing a blue sharpie and got to work. Taking his time with each person, signing one signature per person and posing for photographs when asked, Butler quickly worked through the line. We were grateful to each get a still from "The Bounty Hunter" autographed with a large, bold signature in blue sharpie. Sometimes Butler signs a little more than a giant "GB" but these autographs were large with a couple of loops following the "G" in Gerard and his last name somewhat spelled out - maybe not every letter but more than you would expect. After finishing up with his fans, Butler went back down to the studio entrance and spent several minutes in the alley engaged in conversation with some friends. We called over to Gabrielle Union as she exited but she did not make her way over to us, instead signing for some collectors assembled at the other end of the alley. One collector mentioned that Union autographed four photographs for him.
