Mary-Kate and Ashley Meet Kate and Luisa:
Thanks to Kate Richardson for this great photo of her and friend Luisa Gough meeting Mary-Kate and Ashley at the Total Girl fashion show event in Australia recently. Here's what Kate had to say about how it went:

Yea, it was pretty awesome, completely surreal. Although what I learnt from that trip is that on TV, people care about making it look like you're having fun, and don't care much for whether you really are or not. I won a comp through MTV, and they were filming us here there and everywhere. I'm sure we came off as moronic tweens, even though we're the same age as the girls, because while we wanted to just be ourselves, the MTV crew wanted us to act over-excited and ditzy. Meh

	Thanks for posting that. Here's the link to the journal entry (not in this group, just on my own journal) where I talked about it: http://misssowhat.livejournal.com/49299.html (Reply to this) (Thread)

Yea, they were really lovely. But it was such a shame that it was so rushed. I really just wanted to chat, not to ask a quick question or have them sign something (neither of which I did). But it was very much, "say hello, get a photo, get out". Which is fair enough, seeing as though they would have been busy and tired from the flight, organising the show and meeting fans, but it's really dissapointing. I would have prefered they got EVERYONE who was meeting them to just sit down and have a chat as a group with the girls, rather than lining us up and shooing us out. It would have taken the same amount of time, but been a lot more worthwhile. Oh well. I can't complain, I met them.

	you're right--that would have been a much better idea. but that's because you're a die-hard fan who would rather just get to know the girls than have an autograph of them or say they got to meet them. (Reply to this) (Parent)(Thread)

	Exactly. Everyone was constantly asking us, "What do you want to ask the girls?", assuming that we had a list of questions or something, but we didn't, we just wanted to hang out, see what they're like as people. (Reply to this) (Parent)(Thread)

	what did you end up asking them, anyways? i just can't think of what i would ... (Reply to this) (Parent)(Thread)

Nothing at all actually, didn't get a chance. It went something* like this. I'm leaving out the bits with Luisa, but every hug I got was followed by one for Luisa, and when I was talking to Ashley, Luisa was talking to MK, and visa versa.

Me: "Hi, I'm Kate"
Ashley: "Hi, I'm Ashley"
Me: Duh!. "Nice to meet you"
(Same introduction with MK)
MK: "Congratulations on winning, what did you have to do to win?"
Me: "I had to say in 25 words or less why I should win and meet you girls"
MK: *Laughs*, "Did you practice it over and over?"
Me: *Laughs*, "No actually, I just said the first thing I thought of", *laughs again*. "I love your shoes, where did you get them?" I feel like such a loser, I hope they realise that the guys from MTV made me ask that, errgh, they're going to think I'm weird, why did I agree to say that?
MK: "My shoes?"
Me: "Yea"
MK: "X made them for us" (I forget her name, I think it was the CEO of Big W or Total Girl Magazine, which was why I had to ask them about them... grrr).
Me: "Cool!. Oooh, these are for you" *grabs a toy kangaroo in a red box and a toy koala in a blue box, and gives them to MK and Ashley respectively*, "and I also got you a copy of the CD I'm singing on! I'm singing on track two... well only back-up vocals, but yea", *hands MK and Ashley each a copy of the CD*.
MK: "Thank you!" *hugs Kate*
Ashley: "Wow, that's really good, thank you so much", *hugs Kate*
Me: OH MY FUCKING GOD, THEY HUGGED ME!!! "You're welcome!"
[We get the photo above taken]
Ashley: "Which track was it that you were singing on again?"
Me: "The second one, Cherry Blossom Epitaph"
Ashley: "Wow, that's so great"
[The usual stuff, like, "It was so nice meeting you", hugs, etc.]

There was also another lot of hugs in there somewhere, I know we got three, but I can't remember where the middle one fit in.

*Those aren't the exact words, I didn't bring a dictaphone. That's an idea of about how it went.
