A little back story. I have seen her a few times at various
conventions. Last year at SDCC, I passed her table and I noticed she had an autograph
on one of her breasts. Not that I’m trying
to look there, being a gentleman and all that, but ‘they’ are hard to miss and
a signature in black sharpie does stand out.
I paused for a second…literally stopped in my tracks...she
smiled…I raised an eyebrow, showed a sheepish grin and moved on.
Later I found out that breast was proudly signed by John
Barrowman. He posted on his twitter feed and I think Ani-Mia also posted. You can surf and find it if you interested in
what a Barrowman signature looks like.
When I saw Ani-Mia at Space City Con in Houston we chatted
about that. It’s a fun story and I’m sure
she he tells it all of the time. At the
time, neither of us had an 8x10 so I didn’t get a photo signed.
When I saw at her ComicPalooza, I was prepared with a photo.
I mentioned seeing her at the other show and asked if she had a chance to visit
with Barrowman who was at this show. She
said yes and admitted she ‘fangirled’ out.
She told me she saw him at baggage claim at the airport. She rushed over
to John Barrowman and excitedly told him who she was. She also quickly saw that
he didn’t know what she was talking about.
She made an embarrassed quick exit.
Later, after the fog of jet lag faded, they 2 did meet and
the story made more sense. All sense of embarrassment was gone.
When you walk around the expo floor, stop and say ‘hi’ and
ask her about JB.
