VSfan meets Alessandra (kind of)
13 November, 2007


<<<On 13 November, VSfan of Alessandra's Official Forum set out to meet Alessandra as she and the rest of the Victoria's Secret Angels were appearing on the Hollywood Walk of Fame to receive a star for Victoria's Secret. Below is his tale.>>>

Touched by Angels: Meeting the VS Angels on their Hollywood Walk of Fame!



Well as most of us are aware that the VS Angels received their star on Hollywood's walk of fame on November 13th on Hollywood Blvd!

I was very excited/looked forward to the event, at first thinking it was originally on Wednesday I had a ride there and only thing I had to do was wait...

Turned out, after checking the forum, it was Tuesday! It was great it was earlier then accepted, but at the same time that had screwed over all my plans, after asking 4 different people to take me or skip school with me, nobody was available Sad

Knowing I absolutely had to attend this event, it came to mind "How about taking the train??" Before going, I had never been to Hollywood nor have I ever taken the train from my city... I live in a city bordering Laguna Beach which would take about 2 hours to drive to Hollywood...

So after gaining the approval from my mom I was off to Hollywood about 7:30am...Going there was a great experience, after taking a 1 hour train ride to downtown LA, then riding the Metro subway to Hollywood Blvd taking about 30 mins, then finally walking 2 blocks to the Kodak theater...

I was probably the first person there arriving around 9:30am, along with a few paparazzi stationed there, I watched people set up for the event..

2 hours later! The "Here Comes the Angels" bus pulled up! Paparazzi going crazy/fans cheering/ and music from the theater blasting! The VS models strutting down what seemed like a mini runway making their way to the front stage! I'm not sure exactly but at total of 30-27 models showed up with the Angels being the last to arrive at the bus. It was soo overwhelming to see them all, I didn't know who to cheer for! haha, as each Angel made there way I shouted there names "Adriana!""Ale!""KK"etc..

The mayor began right away cracking a few jokes throughout his speak with the angels and then started to acknowledge their special star infront of the theater..by this time, paparazzi was busier then ever and totally blocked my view from the models (even when being in the front and waiting over 2 hours) but the actual "receiving of the star lasted about 20-30 mins" afterwards... The VS models cleared with the Angels remaining to take interviews and pictures with the star...

At this point to mee was the most exciting because this was the only chance to meet them/get signature/take pics... I found that a couple of models such as Heidi and Izabel kept visiting the same side with the loudest fans and found myself on the other side... so I made my way to the final walkway where they exit trying desperately to get a shot with the Angels... I got nervous I would not get the chance to meet any of them...

I missed Izabel when she quickly rushed over taking care of signatures/pics as well as Heidi... then the 3rd Angel to make there way over was Ale, knowing I was to late to get to her I shouted "I LOVE YOUR FORUM" and she looked over and said "Thank You!"... At this point I was finally over to the walkway exit area and KK barely passed me and asked her if I could have a shot with her and she was soo sweet, she came and walked over to me (even when the security continued to push her into leaving and I got a got a pic with my first Angel there!!!<333



Next came Miranda who I asked as well and she also took a shot with me, although I seemed a bit concerned in the shot because the security guard who took the pic took it too early when she wasn't looking in the camera, but I guess in the end it's good enough for me<3



Last was Adriana who I sadly thought I'd get a pic with, I asked her but she simply looked at me, and continued walking down and ended up taking a picture with a girl who was behind me...bummer ;p

After I followed Heidi & Adriana to the VS store where they apparently had a restricted access signing...with about 999,999,999 security guards infront of the store, I waited a little outside hoping maybe I'd be able to get a shot with them returning outside, but remembering, I said to myself, "I'd better get home about now" (around 4:00pm) soo I traveled all the way back home using nothing but public transportation Wink

Amtrak ticket- $18.50
Metro Red Line-$5.00

(That sums up my journey, I hope you enjoyed the story and sorry if it's too long, I got carried away, haha)

I'll be going down to Hollywood (this time having a ride) tommarrow to try to run into the Angels and possibly get a picture with the remaining Angels I have yet to meetLove
