*** This contest is now closed – see who won below!***
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.

- BONUS QUESTION: … what other autograph have you snagged? Did you get your favorite band to sign an album cover? Or receive a signed letter from a big name public figure? Maybe you got a big novelty check signed by Ed McMahon? Or just a sweet crayon-drawing signed by a niece or nephew?
- GIVEAWAY CLOSES: Wednesday, Sept 12th at 8pm EST or at 10,000 entries (whichever comes first)
- NUMBER OF WINNERS: One

The only autograph I ever got was from the actor who played the oldest son on a TV show way too old for you guys: My Three Sons! I don’t even remember the actor’s name, but his character was Robbie. I did meet and shake Bill Clinton’s hand. Regardless of your politics, he is very charismatic!

back in ’97 i snagged Jay Kay’s (lead singer of Jamiroquai) autograph after hotel stalking the band. ok it wasn’t really stalking since i just happened to be driving past the hotel and spotted them outside of it which meant of course i had to go back the next day to see if they were there again and just my luck they were!

Moore me! I got to meet ‘N sync (/swoon) which didn’t result in an autograph, but resulted in the realization that celebrities are never as tall as you hope they are!
Chris says
MOORE ME! The closest I ever got to a famous person was getting to pet ‘Socks’ the cat in Junior High School. If you don’t remember Socks, he was the Clinton’s cat. Yeah, I ‘worked’ in the White House (for a day).

MOORE ME!
I have several books with author signatures. I would never ask anyone else for their autograph, it feels too intrusive and weird to me. I’m too shy.

MOORE ME!
I personally don’t have anything signed by someone famous, but both my husband and son have a number or autographs from past and present NHL players – I don’t think you can proudly call yourself Canadian unless you have some form of hockey memorabilia in your house!

At the moment, I can’t think of any autographs I’ve gotten (other than the ones from all the Disney characters at Disney World back in the day), but my husband has Chuck Yeager’s autograph. He created a placard with it and keeps trying to get me to hang it up somewhere in our house. Maybe I’ll get on that sometime soon…
AviLynn says
Moore me!!
I have no autographs, however I faked having the New Kids on the Block autographs on their NKOTB comic books when I was younger. I was pretty darn cool at school that day. I signed it myself. Sad.

Rena says
MOORE ME!
When I was a kid my dad was the treasurer of a salsa dancing club that my mom and he were members of and one night they came home with a signed picture by Jimmy Bosch. I had no idea who he was (trombone player in various salsa bands) but the gesture was sweet and the message he left was actually very heart felt. My love of salsa music has grown since then.
