SFX - Day One -or- 2x2 Meets The Most Beautiful Woman in the World

I went to SFX in Toronto this weekend and met Morena and Christina!!! It was amazing!

Below is my Day One experience!

I was late getting down to the convention centre, as traffic was hell, but still managed to meet with elizalavelle (from LJ) fortunately.

We went for a quick lunch and to get some money from the ATM and then headed to the Con for the advanced preview opening at 2pm for those with advance delux passes like us *G*

Looked for Angela, hat knitter extraordinare, to pick up our Jayne hats, but were sort of herded into the line up and we missed her! Looked at every pair of feet I saw for pink crocs while in the line up to try to meet up with (lj user)hjea, but didn't see them. Did see a very nice Serenity (the pilot) Kaylee costume - blue jacket, coveralls complete with teddy bear, parasol, sandles.. very very nice.

We finally got into the main area at about 2:30ish. Tickets punched, hands stamped.... Chaos! Vendors EVERYWHERE *G* Lots and lots of stuff.

But, first things first, we headed for Table L, Morena's table. She wasn't there yet, but we had the location scoped out.

Wandered around a bit, saw some interesting things here and there. Serenity autographed cards, $78 each!!! Some T-shirts, some action figures, the serenity ornament, lots of buffy stuff. And MANGA MANGA MANGA everywhere *G*

I bought an ornament which looks pretty cool! And I bought a Mal action figure *G* And we went back upstairs and found Angela and bought our Jayne hats (very cunnin’) and then the three of us headed back downstairs to start a line at Morena’s table.

There were a few people lined up already, including Heather, the Canadian Browncoats List Mom who knows people ‘in the know’ *G* After maybe half an hour or so (it’s really impossible for me to know how much time passed… time doesn’t seem to flow the same in there *G*) she was suddenly there!!!! And so was Christina Hendricks!!!!

And before I knew it… I was next to go up, and OMG I was suddenly So Nervous! I didn’t know what to say!

I went up and handed Cindy (Morena's wrangler *G*) the money for the glossy’s I wanted Morena to sign (Christina’s weren’t there yet) and all the while, I couldn’t look at her!! Then, it was time, and I looked up and she smiled at me *melts* and as I picked out which pictures I wanted her to sign, she asked if I wanted her to make them out to me *glee* So I said yes, and she asked me to spell my name…. she ended up leaving the ‘e’ off the end because Christina said something that interrupted her as she was writing, and so she didn’t hear the e part, I guess… I didn’t notice till after, but apparently it might not be uncommon (more on that later). So she signed my pictures, and I told her how I had enjoyed seeing her on SG-1. And she very sweetly said thank-you, and then Christina, all excited, says “Wasn’t she gorgeous?!” and I nod and say “Oh yeah, she was.” Then back to Morena “And I just loved your contacts!” I think Morena said “thanks” and Christina was like “Weren’t they neat! So pretty!” and I said “Yeah, they were amazing!” It was kinda funny, to be discussing Morena, with Christina Hendricks, right in front of Morena, who just signed and smiled. But Christina was just lovely!

Then I asked if I could have a photo, and got to come around the table and stand between them, put an arm around each of their waists, and… wow. Heh… Morena is *SO* tiny!!!! Her waist was just soo small and delicate in my hand, and she was warm and smelled nice :o) I have to admit, most of my attention was firmly on Morena and not Christina, but they both were very gracious when I begged a second photo from elizalavelle’s camera (6 megapixels… much better than my 2 *G*) and then I was floating away…. High as a kite *G*

I waited and took elizalavalle’s picture for her, then gathered all my gak from the friendly volunteer who’d held it for me… and we left the table area, and I was just floating and giddy and grinning and so overwhelmed from that brief cont

Oh yeah? Well... I never liked you anyway and you have stupid hair!

EDIT: Yikes! Just remembering non-Buffy fans won't get this! It's a quote from the show. It's meant to be funny. Honest!

*wanders off in a jealous huff*

Damn!! I wanted to go! Had my Jayne shirt picked out and everything!

Had a family function though. Maybe next year.

Sounds like it was fun though. Was it busy? Closing weekend for the CNE might have impacted on it. Did you get to go to Morena's Intimate and Interactive? I was wondering if she made the same hints as I read Alan and Summer did at Dragon*con.

There is a person on another site that says:

"There was a Sci Fi/comic book convention in Toronto, Ontario this weekend, and Morena Beccarin was there, as well as the actress who played the woman who tricked Mal into marrying her (I can't remember her name). They were signing autographs, obviously, and they both said that they (both) were starting filming for the sequel to Serenity in March 2007. All I can say is: w00t."

For those people who were there, can anyone confirm this?? PLEASE!!!!!!
