And this week’s random winner is… Stacy (who says “when I was little, I got the local radio dj’s autograph and thought I was so cool! Looking back, it is just funny how silly it was!”). Congrats Stacy!
We love us some Candice Olson (and still pinch ourselves that our faces share a webpage with her over on BenjaminMoore.com). So we sweet talked our way into a little Benjamin Moore / Candice Olson prize for you guys – including a signed copy of her latest book, Candice Olson Bedrooms. So once you’ve torn yourself away from petting her signature (not that we’d do that, ok we totally would) and are ready to put that Olson-spiration to use, Benjamin Moore’s gonna lend a hand with two gallons of their Aura paint, a 7-piece applicator kit, a $50 gift card, and your very own Candice Olson Design Picks fan deck. And if that’s not enough of a Candice fix for ya, you can enter to win a personal design consultation from her over on Benjamin Moore’s site.

I think my best autograph ever was Robert Plant. I bumped flat into him a few years ago at a showing of Spamalot here in NYC. He apologized for not looking where he was going and was a perfect gentleman.

MOORE ME! My husband is a huge fan of Bobby Bowden and Florida State. I was able to snag Bobby’s signature on a jersey AND get him to pen a little note to the hubs for his 30th. He is still trying to match that one.
stacy says
Moore Me! The only “celebrity” signature I ever got was from Denny Terrio. He hosted a show called Dance Fever back in the early 80’s. he also taught John Travolta how to dance in prepartion for Saturday Night Fever. We were from the same hometown and my mom worked with his sister. Yeah- not too impressive!!

I dont have any “famous” autographs but my 3 year old Mckenna can write M’s & O’s so i showed her how to write Mom and she wrote it under one of her first pictures of a rainbow she did all by herself. Best picture ever :)

I kept an autograph book as a kid, and had all my friends sign it. I love looking back and remembering all the great times we had together! (And sometimes seeing a name and having no idea who that person was… oops!)

Michelle says
MOORE ME! I sent a birthday party invitation (I know I am a loser) to Prince William and Princess Kate (I love her!) and recieved back a reply (declining, of course, haha) from Priness Kate’s lady in waiting. So not a real autograph, but a real letter from thier office, on their stationery. I was pretty stoked about that :)
Hannah says
MOORE ME!!!

MOORE ME!
No autographs here other than Mickey Mouse…
Kristen M says
MOORE ME
My husband collects autographs and my favorite of his is a Walt Disney. It’s special because it’s large in size and is an actual autograph instead of just a signed pay check.
We even got to speak to the lady who got the autograph some 50 years ago. She worked at a food stand at Disneyland the year it opened and Walt loved the chili there – so he signed the back of an order ticket for her after a little persuasion.
Anna says
Moore Me!
I got an autograph from one of my favorite authors, David Sedaris, after a reading! He also gave me the rest of his french fries (I was last in line and he found out I had eggs for dinner, so he took pity on me).
Darlene W says
MOORE ME!
I don’t have a singe autograph so I would LOVE this one!
Casey says
MOORE ME!!! Once my parents took us to see David Copperfield when I was 10 or so- I waited in a huge line to get his autograph and when they handed me back the “signed” program. It was like some sloppy star. I said to him “Excuse me- but this doesn’t look like your name– This isn’t an autograph..” I was quickly given the boot by his bodyguards.. I shoulda never waited. He was just a short skinny dude in a puffy shirt, lots of makeup and overteased hair. It was wierd.
Laura says
MOORE ME!
The bandmembers of Fall Out Boy signed a poster for me when they performed at work one day!
Courtney says

I really cannot remember the last autograph I’ve gotten. Proabably a baseball player at the last game I went to a few years ago.

My Dad had Digger Phelps send autographed pictures to me and my sister when we were probably 6 and 8 years old. We were really into basketball when we were young (it was a requirement when growing up in Indiana).
Susan says

I have an autograph from Morrissey. Swoon!
Paul says
MOORE ME!
When I was in college the band Guster came and played at our spring fest. I didnt know the band that well but my friend was a huge fan, so afterwards we waited outside to meet them and get autographs. When they came out they told us it was their last night on the tour bus and started giving away food they had on board. I got a box of Raisin Bran, which the entire band signed. I still have the box, complete with still sealed cereal inside.

My biggest claim to signature fame is having all the Disney Princesses’ autographs in my daughters’ autograph books from our last Disney trip!
Lauren says
MOORE ME! As a kid I had an autograph book full of autographs from all of the Disney characters. Jealous?
Lisa Romney says
MOORE ME!
I’ve got a band poster that I got signed way back in the day by Tim Armstrong of Rancid. That’s about it.
Amanda says
MOORE ME!
I have my Meet Samantha book signed by Valerie Tripp. She was definitely someone I was SUPER excited to get an autograph from!
Margaret says
MOORE ME!
An autographed postcard of a tour guide named “Candi” from some family trip that I found in my husband’s stuff from the 90s (yes, the “i” was dotted with a heart). I think it’s so funny to think about how at 10 he probably thought she was the bee’s knees, it cracks me up.
Kiera Jenness says
MOORE ME!
I am a little embarrassed to admit, but I once got an autograph from Debbie Gibson…..when she was WAY past being Debbie Gibson, and was now referring to herself as “Deborah Gibson”. I think she was at a Borders bookstore to promote her now “grown up” album of piano music or something….but I HAD to have an old Debbie Gibson music video VHS autographed by her to send to my old college roommate. Her music was our “silly, dance around, while we are supposed to be studying” music our freshman year in college (long ago!) so sending her the autographed VHS was a MUST! I don’t think Deborah appreciated having to sign an ancient VHS when I was supposed to be buying her new stuff, but I stood in line a long time and my roommate LOVED it! (I gave it to her as part of her Bachelorette party gift before she strapped on the old ball n chain! : )

My most treasured autograph is a first edition Trumpet of the Swan signed by E.B. White. My grandparents found it in a used bookstore and snagged it for me when I was only 7. It still graces my nightstand 29 years later.
