Sunny's meeting Paula Story/Pictures.
11/6/04
I met Paula. I still can't believe it, it was seriously a dream come true. She is the absolute nicest person I have ever, ever met. I was third in line, to meet her at Sam's Club here in Rogers, AR. She was in town doing a charity deal with the Childrens Shelter. She's so sweet...and anyways she was at Sam's for an autograph session. They put together a brand new chair for her to sit in..which amused me lol. So when she finally got in, the people in front of me were going. And the coolest guy in the world, came up and asked if i'd like him to introduce me to Paula. So I said yes, and he did. My gosh, you should've seen me shaking. We shook hands, and then she said something like "Aww I need to hug you.." I don't remember exactly what was said, I was in a trance...but she initiated a hug. So we hugged. I know this probably sounds stupid, but theres nothing better than a "mommy hug" and Paula's hug, was a lot like a Mommy hug. I hope you know what i'm talking about. I feel so bad though, because she was wearing a white shirt, and I got makeup on her shoulder.. :-( So Paula, if you read this, I am very sorry for that! I feel really bad! We talked for a few minutes...she did most of the talking though, like I said, I was out of it. I don't know why I was so nervous...I never get nervous. I brought up Simon...you should've seen her face, I wish a picture would've been taken then....it was so cute...she made like this "Blech!" face. I got her autograph, and I just got the warm fuzzies all over, (I have since learned that they are permanently there..) she drew little hearts around my name...On the auto she put:
Hi Sunny

Robin's meeting Paula Story and Picture!
11/7/04
November 7th was the most AMAZING day ever! The Day that I met Paula Julie Abdul! Ok ill start with the day before. When we got to the hotel! I met up with Roni (kRaZiiPauLaL0VE), Ashleigh (xTiNyDancerAsh6X),and Rachel, and Rachel's sister. Ok when I got there I found Ashleigh and then we waited about 2 more hours til Rachel and her sister got there and then Roni came about an hour after that. Then we went out to dinner to Max and Erma's which was good and we saw this scary huge football bobblehead guy who I hit my head on but lets not go there. Then we got back and stayed up around the hotel til about 12 and then I went to bed. Sunday morning I got up around 7 and then we went down to get breakfast (I didn't eat any because I was too nervous) so we got back upstairs around 8:00 and then we checked out of the hotel and put the bags in the car and came back inside. Then we all met in Rachel's room and we went down to the expo around 9:15. When we got there we met Stephanie from the Saula Heaven board and her friend. The expo didn't start until 11 so we were waiting around and Ashleigh had this BRILLIANT Idea to talk to the guy in charge of the whole thing (dean taylor) so we talked to him and he wanted to know where we all traveled from and we told him and he said he would give us wristbands to go to see Paula and it would just be the 7 of us so we were TOTALLY excited. Then around 1:15 Paula got there and I videotaped the whole q&a and it was awesome and then dean comes back and he tells me to meet him by his office so we go over there and he tells us we get to go into a *gasps* PRIVATE signing with just all 7 of us so we go into this hallway and into this room and Paula is sitting there on this couch with her lawyer and I think her assistant. She signed my greatest hits CD cover and wrote a TON and then signed everyone elses stuff. Then we got a group picture with her and then we didnt have much time so I asked her if I could just get an individual pic with her and she was so nice and she said "Absoulutely!" so I got it and I hope it turns out lol! This was the best day EVER!!

Danielle's meeting Paula story!
We hear that Paula.s coming soon. Since we made friends with the security people and Dean, we were SO in. So I see Dean and I go up to him and i'm like "DEAN!!!" and he gives me this huge hug and said "hey sweetie! " i thanked him for everything. Paula was standing right by the door and she looked GORGEOUS. I swear,she is the most beautiful person i've ever seen. I'm not even joking. So, I was the first person to walk up to her. I was like "Paula I got a gift for you, i'm a huge fan" and gave her a stuffed dog. She was like 'aww thank you' and I was like "Paula can you please sign my cd for me?", and handed her my "Forever Your Girl" cd booklet. She couldnt get the marker open because she had her hands full so she was like "Here you hold, i'll pull" So I was like "ok!!" and she signed it "live,love,dance,sing!smile and sing,big hug Paula Abdul".
She spent so much time on me. I told her how I was a fan and me and my mom listen to her cd all the time in the car. She said "Aww that's good." or "That's nice" or something. Then I said how my 2 year old cousin loves "Zoe's Dance Moves" and she was like "Awww that's so sweet." and then I asked if she could sign my shirt and she said sure. She signed it "xoxo Paula Abdul" the girls behind her, i'm guessing were her makeup girls, they were so nice . The whole time they were like "Awwww". When Paula was signing my cd, I was like "Oh my God Paula, you are so pretty!" it just came out. and what did she say??!!!!!!!!!!!!! "SO ARE YOU". I just about died. And she was wearing this star ring that was like the "When u wish upon a star." necklace, and I told her I loved it and she was like "Thank you." OK after that I was ecstatic. lmao. And then she had to go and I was like "Thank you so much!!!" *breathes* she is so tiny. I felt so fat next to her. And ugly lmao cuz she is like flawless. She spent the most time on me. She only wrote "xoxo Paula Abdul" on everyone else's paper! But she spent like 5 minutes on me. It was unbelievable. Thank god I have pics to prove it haha.
Thank you paula, meeting you was a dream come true and I am so thankful that I was finally able to tell you that on Larry King Live!!!
