Ashley Tisdale is left handed
 

Ashley Tisdale is left handed, and rather short.

These are the things you learn as the father of a Teen girl.

Ms. High School Musical herself is on a Mall tour and today's stop was in our area. So with the concert set for 7:00pm, we set out at 4:30 so Headliner could stake her and her friend a primo spot. There were several dozen screamers (my term for teen girls) crowded around the tour bus but no sign of the star. A Black shirt came out of the bus holding a half dozen signed postcards to hand out. A crush ensued. Headliner held her own, and without screaming or clawing (or perhaps because of not screaming) scored one of the postcards.

Next we learned that due to weather forecast, the concert had been cancelled. The only chance to meet Ashley would be at a meet-and-greet in the mall but that was only open to contest winners from a local radio show.

Headliner however is not easily discouraged. On her own she left the crowd of mindless screamers hugging the bus and started talking to the event coordinator who was handing out wrist bands to the contest winners. She sweet talked the guy into giving her and her friends wrist bands for the meet and greet. She got a hug from Ashley, a personalized signed T-Shirt and a photo-op. All without screaming, crying, or similar antics.

Way to live up to your name Headliner.

Way to go! :snap:

Is she fan friendly?

Shows you raised 'em right, doesn't it?

Hard to say. When she came out of the bus she waved, signed a couple of autographs (I think, I was a ways back) and declared her love for everyone before getting in her SUV to be driven around the back of the mall. Total appearance time < 2min. but it was raining. Given that her concert was cancelled it would have been nice of her to hang a bit longer with the disappointed screamers but she was off to the pre-planned meet-and-greet.

What's an Ashley Tisdale?

Is that like an Airedale?

Me thinks I live on another planet.

But, it sounds great for Headliner!

if you don't know, your in a better place...

-trys to get fabulous out of my head!!-

at least the celebrity's currently kind, and your child was lucky...

I took several pictures of Ashley Tisdale at the Monsters, Inc., "blue" carpet event at DCA. They are by far the single most viewed and commented upon photos I have on Flickr.

I still really haven't much of a clue who she is and really wish the 14-year-old girls would stop telling me what an all around perfect person Ms. Tisdale is. It was bad enough living through the NKOTB infatuation of my sisters, I don't need to experience it vicariously through strangers.
