Fab Freebie: Moore Candice To Love

*** This contest is now closed – see who won below!***

And this week’s random winner is… Stacy (who says “when I was little, I got the local radio dj’s autograph and thought I was so cool! Looking back, it is just funny how silly it was!”). Congrats Stacy!

We love us some Candice Olson (and still pinch ourselves that our faces share a webpage with her over on BenjaminMoore.com). So we sweet talked our way into a little Benjamin Moore / Candice Olson prize for you guys – including a signed copy of her latest book, Candice Olson Bedrooms. So once you’ve torn yourself away from petting her signature (not that we’d do that, ok we totally would) and are ready to put that Olson-spiration to use, Benjamin Moore’s gonna lend a hand with two gallons of their Aura paint, a 7-piece applicator kit, a $50 gift card, and your very own Candice Olson Design Picks fan deck. And if that’s not enough of a Candice fix for ya, you can enter to win a personal design consultation from her over on Benjamin Moore’s site.

    We took dd to see Taylor Swift in 2009 at a small venue. We got out of the car and wen to wait by the driveway where the busses were. She had brought a cd for someone to sign, and we got lucky. Grant from her band came out and signed her cd, she was in heaven.

    I’m not really an autograph collecting type.

    I did, however, serve Dee Schneider (Twisted Sister) his coffee every morning when he came to the Dunkin’ Donuts that I worked at when I was in college. (This was in the ’80’s) He used to order a large coffee with lots of sugar (8 tsp) and cream(half the cup) and a plain donut.
    That Dunkin Donuts was on Long Island in NY, I served Billy Joel and Christy Brinkly, and a NY Jets football player Mark Gastineau.
    I may have served some other “stars” but most of the time I am oblivious to that kind of thing. I only knew these because my co-workers would say “that was………”

    When I was eight years old I met Elvis Stojko in a hotel that we were staying at. It was my first “famous person” encounter and i’ll never forget it!

    MOORE ME! I was just thinking about my ol’ Dick Button autograph from a maybe-1997 figure skating tour that hit Springfield, Mass. Oh Dick Button and your love of constructive criticism and classic spiral sequences.

    For a school project when I was 7, I wrote to Vanna White to get her autograph. I got a signed picture and a nice note from her!

    MOORE ME!!!! In middle school (circa 1997), my bestie and I went to the Sugar Ray // 311 concert at the state fairgrounds. It was RIGHT after “Fly” came out, and I was 13. Mark McGrath came out after they opened for 311 and was signing autographs. I had nothing to write on, so I stretched out my tank top, and he scribbled his name on it with sharpie. Just before I fainted from his manly beauty, he gave me a kiss on the cheek… my 13 year old self is still giddy, and as you can tell, I still can’t stop bragging about it.

    MOORE ME! We were in Trace Adkins fan club so we met him backstage after his concert and he signed a CD. Candice Olsen seems like she’d be a really nice person in real life; she’s so talented!

    MOORE ME!!!
    Many many years ago when I had a crush on Ethan Hawk (Dead Poet Society, remember?), I wrote to him and he wrote me back!!! He wrote, “Carpe Diem” :-) I still have the card. Probably, his assistant signed it, who knows?

    I scored an autograph from dave matthews when he was all the rage back in 1999. There was a rumor going around at the carousel mall in syracuse ny that dave was spotted. My friend and I took a break from our retail job and were eR able to bump into him!

    Moore me! Oh my, I think the last autograph I got was by my favorite illustrator in elementary school – Steven Kellog. I guess I have become less ambitious as time has gone on(:
