I do plan to attend. This is great!!! I can't wait. I am clearing my schedule so I can be there. Yes I am up to my ears in work, but this is wonderful and I wouldn't want to miss it. Congrats to you Lady!!!! You are so dam right about not saying anything about the artist. I don't know what that is all about. My agent is having a real fit over it too. She said, "She could have at least said your name once!" It's not alright and it's not cool, but it is what it is for the moment. They called and told me not to worry about hair and makeup on tomorrow for the book signing. Now I am a makeup artist for well over 28 years. What makes them think I don't care about the way I look cause I'm an illustrator???? Girl I am going to beat the heck out of my face for evening and that is for sure. he he he he he! It's all good Lauren. As long as my name is written correctly on the check I could care less! Hug to you beautiful!!
Take care,
V
Are you serious!?! Lets just hope they meant that they've got a special hair and makeup person for you at the event. Otherwise, that's the craziest b.s. I have ever heard. Good luck tonight Vanessa, and go outshine that "star" :)
Congrats Lauren. Knock their socks off!
Thank you for dropping by my blog, Jack! And, if you're in the Brooklyn area, I hope you'll get a chance to see the show!
Thanks so much Lauren. It was wonderful and what's more many of my loved one showed up. Now I will tell you that they were not happy that Borders decided to change the game once I got there by telling me that there was not enough room for me for signing on Tori Spelling and her best friend. My agent was pissed and so was I for that matter. First I am doing the signing with her and then magically, "We have no place or Vanessa to sign. She can just stand in the isles and if people want her to sign their books then she can do so." Hey what are you going to do. Tori is the star here. I totally understand, but we SOOOOOOO need to change the dam game man. I believe as you do. Artist Illustrators should get the same billing as the Authors. No ands, ifs or buts about it. The pictures are just as important as the words and I think that so many people miss that. Don't worry Lauren Sistah girl is about to change the dam game that's for sure. Hugs and kisses and always best wishes darling.
Hugs
