[2010-03-29] Alizée autograph signing at Virgin Champs-Elysées

[MYGOGT]

Wish I was going also, but schedule will not allow it. Ideas for presenting the letter:
I am guessing artists get lots of things from fans at an event such as this. Maybe not as I have never been to one. But I think that adding something to make it personal would be best. Something that catches her eyes, or ears.
1. Like adding "From your fans" to the folder. (Or use "friends" instead of fans).
2. Does tinkerbell still peak her interest? (yeah, I am still 10 years behind all of you)
3. Or a build a bear with AAm logo? (I would even spring for it)
4. I am assuming you can speak some french also to make it more personal?
I am just throwing these out there for all to comment on. Don't worry, I can take the hits if need be. After all, what do I know as the new kid on the block?

You made mention the other night of how you found out about Alizée. Why don't you tell us. I'm sure everyone would like to hear. There's a thread for that where you can find most of our stories,
http://alizeeamerica.com/forums/showthread.php?t=4611
or you can post it here, either way works.

P.S.

I also plan to mention to Alizée how many of us have been voting for her on Radio Atlantis. I'm sure she must know about it.

Edit: I'm almost afraid to ask this question but does anyone want me to buy a copy of the new album and have Alizée autograph it for them. With a lot of people preordering the limited edition one, I imagine not too many people would have any money left for this. I would imagine it would run about $25, that's U.S. dollars of course,maybe more if they package some little extra along with it.



[QUOTE=Roman;154662]Bonjour Alizée ! Je viens d'Alizée America. Pourriez-vous regarder la caméra là (point of course) et dire, « Hello Alizée America » ?

There you go. There's your script to have her say hello.

Thanks for this line Roman. I'll probably use it. I just hope I get the pronunciation right. If she slaps the beegeebers out of me, I'll know I've said something wrong.

Thanks! I'm going to try and do a good job of it, but I'll be more nervous than a gold fish in a toilet bowl.

Earlier today, on nobody's authority at all, I sent a note to the Virgin Megastore on the Champs-Élysées, reporting that 10% of the hits on Alizée's official Website now come from the USA, and that Alizée America is sending an "ambassador" to the autograph session at their store, to purchase multiple copies of her album for the Corsican girl to sign. I further inquired about a quantity limit and referred them to this thread in case they are dubious. Naturally, I will report on any reply I receive. Tie, tails and sash for you, Scruff?

Damned if I know why either Virgin or Alizée would be against multi-level marketing of the type you suggest! <a href="http://alizeeamerica.com/forums/showpost.php?p=152308&postcount=93">A sale is a sale.</a> Is the labor of signing so arduous that Alizée would object to keeping at it before her hand got tired?

BTW, it is not so hard now to replicate a signature and even make it appear to non-experts to be a pen-written original. I never have committed, nor will I commit fraud by misrepresenting things in commercial transactions, but in doing historical recreations for cities celebrating an anniversary, I have fabricated replicas of copyright-free historic documents and artworks which are now missing (or may even have never existed), for the purpose of honest fictional spectacle. (P.S. Alizée is not really Juliette.)

So you might imagine that I would be reluctant to pay a premium for an autographed good whose provenance I could not reliably authenticate, i.e. including stuff on eBay, too.

Don't worry at all!!!

About a year ago now, I published a <a href="http://bellsouthpwp.net/d/o/docdtv/Alizee/2009May.htm">fan page</a> in which I detailed a suggestion that Alizée make a revised version of the Joan Osborne <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hbAeTywPiP4#t-1m22s">music video</a> for <i>Saint Teresa</i>.

A key scene consists of rescuing a goldfish from a toilet bowl and tossing it into a filled tub. If my dreams have come true, the Corsican girl has been practicing this for a whole year now, so you are quite safe!

Enjoy yourself Scruffy and keep it simple. You may never get a chance like this again, although I hope there are countless new album signings in the future. It is really nice of you to think of AA fans the way you do. You might even think of giving her a dvd of your favorite fan video that you have produced. You do a great job and I think she would get a kick out of it. She has probably seen some or all of them before, but receiving a copy from the video creator would mean something I would think. Just a thought.

Ben or others that have been to these things may have a better feel for how much you can get away with by observing how things went last time.

That's a good point. Last time, I bought 5 and gave her a list of names I wanted them personalized to. I was thinking this time, where I'm buying 11, I was thinking maybe I would just give them to her and just have her write, what ever she wanted, such as Merci Alizée or like last time kisses from Alizée, but if I did that, they might think I'm trying to get them for E-Bay like you say. So I guess I will give her a list. I did hear from Ben, he thought 10 would be okay, anything more would be pushing it so that's the limit until I find out something more. Hopefully they'll be a little more understanding where I'm representing a forum.

That was an awesome idea and thanks for thinking of it. You would think they would want to sell as many copies as possible, that's the main purpose of it. But maybe they think the people who don't come, would probably buy it anyways, so they limit the quantity here, so other fans wont have to wait in line so long. One thing they dont realize here is several of these people have pre-ordered the limited edition one and would not be buying another copy.

That's another interesting idea. I'm not sure about it though. There are a number of good fan videos out there. The only one that would really sets mine apart and is kind of a unique nature is the Alizée interview one. Kind of corny maybe, but it has a few funny points in which she might get a laugh out of it, but it does mention the cancelled concerts, something she might not want to be reminded of. I'll post it here so people here can see it. I had originally made it after the first cancelld concert, added to it after the second cancelled concert, then again added to it after she was being criticized a lot when we kept hearing rumors for an single release date back in September, but of course there wasn't one.

I'll post some of my other videos here so people who haven't seen it, can see it and offer an opinion.

So I the interview one is out but maybe,
A six pack of Alizée (2)
Alizée Moi Lolita From teenager to young woman 2
Alizée - A video history of her early years
Alizée - J'ai pas vingt ans / I'm not twenty - This is one where Roman told me about an audio file someone had created, where they combined J'ai pas vingt ans and I'm not twenty. I just added video to it. Combining the audio is the hard part. I tried to find out who created that file so I could give them credit in the video but never did.

Anothe one I made but which I don't think I should include is
Alizée Alex busted!

If you don't mind, of course! I'd like a copy as well! I would really appreciate it. Just tell me where to send it!

I was afraid of this, afraid it might snowball, but that's a great thing. The more I give for her to autougraph, the better impression it will make of our forum and as I had mentioned before, I get to gaze at this beautiful woman while she's signing. I'll have a subliminal message tatooed on my eyelids, write slow.

P.S. Everyone please let me know how they would like their names signed.
