Meeting Dannii Minogue And Tabitha Somerset-Webb :)
On Thursday 8th November I got the opportunity to meet Dannii Minogue and Tabitha Sommerset-Webb again, which is always a pleasure, being a big fan of Dannii Minogue.
The day started at around 6am when I got up as I just couldn't sleep anymore from being overexcited about meeting my role model. Normally I have an outfit ready in advance but this time I had NO idea at all in what to wear, this resulted in a huge rush through my wardrobe in the morning to find something suitable.
I picked out a little black dress which is always a safe option to wear and toned it down a little by wearing a little denim waistcoat with black tights and 'military' boots. (They're really comfy and one of my favorite pairs of shoes to wear)
After deciding what to wear I was then able to choose exactly what I'll be able to do make up and hair wise. I ended up wearing make up which i rarely wear unless its for special occasions. I put on eyeliner, mascara, foundation and bright pink lipstick and did my hair in a bun, that way my hair was out my way.
Once I was ready and rocking I made my way to the train station and started the long day ahead of me. First of all I went to meet Patricja who was over in my hometown from Poland for the week. It's always so lovely to catch up with fans as you don't get to see them everyday.. (Wish you could!!!). We both headed into London together where we (finally) met up with Jodie :-) We all headed to Westfields in Shepherds Bush where the Project D London watch launch will be taking place.
Once we arrived we headed for a coffee where we met Stacey then Stephen and also Lou and Claire came over. We did a spot of shopping then I finally finished the book and by that time. everyone else had turned up and we had a little reunion and catch up.
While waiting in the queue I saw and said hello to Dannii's make up and hair artist, the very talented Christian Vermak. He looked quite shocked to see that we had recognized him, how could we not? After all he is behind the amazing looks of Dannii Minogue and various other celebrities.
We had a group photo with the 'Twitter peeps' outside the shop and watched Dannii having her press shoot pictures. Myself and Laura were at the front of the queue and we were able to see Dannii having each shot. We called her name and she looked so happy to see us, waving and smiling. Dannii then did press interviews inside the shop and before we knew it, it was time to head in and see Dannii.
I was at the front of the queue along with two good friends of mine Laura and Shannon. We were lucky as we were the first people who got to see the Project D London watch collection, and I must say they are GORGEOUS! (reminder.. put on my Christmas list):) Shannon was the first ever person to try on a Project D London watch. I must say, it looked gorgeous! As soon as we looked at them we then looked over to the table where Dannii and Tabitha would be sat. They both sat there sipping champagne and talking among themselves.
Laura, Shannon and I then headed over to the table where they were sat and Dannii looked so happy to see us. I am sure she recognized me but I wasn't 100% sure. I stood there in front of the table taking in how gorgeous both Dannii and Tabitha looked. Dannii looked amazing and elegant in a aqua blue/green dress and Tabitha looked 'Rock chick', with a jacket over a black top and bright orange/red skirt, they both looked incredible.
Dannii stood up from the table and smiled shouting 'SHOES SHOES SHOES' at us. Normally when I go to see her I have heels on, a different pair every time since Dannii had given me the confidence at a previous signing, in Manchester. Unfortunately I hadn't decided to wear heels this time and thought i'd let Dannii down, until she leaned over the table and said "You look good in boots anyway"; This woman always knows how to make you feel better about yourself!
I then passed her over a fan book which I had been working on for around two weeks collecting messages, writing them up and deciding the design for each page, on top of this I was working towards my A level media deadline, STRESS!! As soon as I gave it to her Dannii and Tabitha's faces both lit up with a smile and Dannii thanked me a few times. To be honest it's the least I could do with all she does for me. She then opened the book and seen the front page which said something like "We Love You". Dannii then looked at Tabitha and put half a hand heart up and smiled at Tabitha and said "I love them too" which made me smile, wide.
Dannii then began going through the book and seen pictures which Claire, another Dannii fan kindly printed off as I had a drama with trying to find a printer.
The pictures were from Dannii's early years and from recently as well, I tried my hardest to get a mixture, hope she was impressed.
Laura and Shannon then spoke to her and Dannii phoned Gemma, which was such a lovely thing to do as she could not make it.
We then went round for pictures and I gave Dannii my vinyl and my 'Love And Kisses' CD to get signed by her. We had a photo together then she looked at the stuff she was signing and signed them.
Dannii then said to Tabitha that apparently she looks 'like a boy' on her Love And Kisses album, which I can assure you she does not.
We then said goodbye and waved as we headed out the store.
Later on that evening I got a chance to speak to Nathan, Danniii's PA and ask him if we were allowed to get a group photo together. After waiting, until the end of the signing which was around half 8 we got let back in and we had a group photo with Dannii. This gave me the opportunity to give her a present that I bought her and also I gave Tabitha the same thing but in a different colour.
Dannii told me how she has been having weird dreams and that she hopes the present will help them stay away.
We then said goodbye and headed out the store where we waited right up until the security moved us along.
The day was so amazing, especially seeing my favourite lady but then also got to see people that I tweet daily, which is always a plus to catch up.
Until next time.. Bye!!:)
