Ok, so where do I start….Wow was it crazy today…From meeting Fabio and Adrian Paul to the 2008 Mr Romance contest..
As you can tell there is so much going on..where does one start…
For those of you wondering how things are coming up with all the video stuff that I have been shooting here..Still no go , so I have to wait till I get back home before anything can be done..
so now….getting back to today’s events…
First off I want to say a HUGE congrats to the 2008 Mr Romance Winner….
(Drum roll please)……
the 2008 Mr Romance winner is Chris Winters
Wwoooohoooooo
WTG Chris, you did it..
I’m so happy that my friend won..He has been working hard and he earned the win….
Since the Mr Romance contest and Cover Model Reunion Dinner were side by side and you had to dress up to the dinner I got all dolled up and went that way to the contest. Funny thing was when I arrived and saw the crowds I really felt over dressed. Most people were in their comfy clothes and I was wearing a cocktail dress….
The whole contest was so much fun, all the guys came out in the start dressed as construction workers as a bunch of the female authors joined them on stage and gushed over them. Each contestant lead an author down the stage and presented himself in front of the panel of judges which ranged for publisher to former models to authors.
Then later on each contestant had to do a small reenactment of a book where they were the hero…Each contestant looked wonderful and made all the ladies drool….They had to seduce the crowd and the heroine which had joined them on stage.
Each contestant also had to take a walk down the stage as the announcers read answers to a specific question that had been asked to the model…
I must say that they all looked so handsome…
By the end of that evening Chris was crowned the 2008 Mr. Romance winner..The winner gets to do a photo shoot to be on a new cover for one large publishing company.
Now I am sure you want to know about my evening with Fabio and Adrian Paul (he played Duncan in Highlander the series).
Myself and my two roommates Renee and Sherri were 3 of 150 people who had a ticket to the big event.
First off I had the honor of being seated at a table with a truly amazing author…
Who you may ask?
I sat at a table next to Angela Knight
Yes the author of Master of Dragons, Warlord, and so many more…
I was floored and honored…She is truly such an amazing author….
The evening began with a draw for all the cover models that were attending to sit at each of the tables. Some of the Ellora’s Cavemen were also having their names drawn for a table.
After that was settled there was a few introductions and speeches and then Fabio and Adrian Paul were invited to come up to the front where they gave their own sppeches…I must say it was so cool to be sitting and watching both men be just a few feet away…Adrian looks truly handsome in person and I will say so does Fabio.
Adrian Paul
By the end of the dinner i had gotten the chance to take a photo with both Fabio and Adrian..I also wanted an autograph but had nothing to sign. It was obvious that both hunks were occupied with chit chatting so I quickly made my way back to my room and grabbed a notebook and sharpie…
Yes I got back down in time to get a signature from both
During the dinner I had the chance to chit chat with 2007’s winner Jason Santiago and a few past winners and cover models who were all truly polite and a pleasure to chat with..
It really was a wonderful day filled wit many things…
I can’t wait to post the video’s that I have been shooting this week…
Oh I almost forgot to tell you, today I won an Alphasmart computer that one of the publishers were giving away. How cool is that. I have always wanted one..
Time to go to bed now, it’s 5am and I’m still up…
You rock Savannah! Thanks for keeping us informed. Enjoy what’s left of the convention.

OMG, how cool is that! The whole evening sounds like an amazing experience. And congrats on the Alphasmart, they’re supposed to be terrific. I can’t wait until you get back so we can chat. (I’m so jealous and wish I could have afforded to go. But then again I’m still paying off my bills from Dallas last year)

It’s wonderful that Chris won Mr. Romance, from what I’ve heard, he deserved it!
Oh….I would have killed to go to that dinner. Adrian Paul, Mr. Highlander, himself……..I probably would have fainted and Fabio, the original cover model who started it all. Wow! I am so jealous.
A laptop win, too! You must be sky high over all this!
