Alyssa Milano Dallas Fan Festival 2023

By far, the longest line I stood in this weekend was for Alyssa Milano. She looked beautiful and was warm and friendly.

A couple of observations…

While I was looking for a photo to print from Charmed, it appeared she had a different hairdo every episode. I don’t think I’m exaggerating; I saw over 50 different styles.

She took a few seconds with the one of the handlers that was taking photos. She gave some feedback to make the table selfies look better.  It was the angle of the phone and where to stand. I think everyone was happier with the results. I liked that she cared.

She seemed to have 2 levels of smiling. The big smile when people are looking. And a small, private smile as she was waiting for the next fan.  With a lot of guests, you often see the big smile ‘on’ the whole time or you see the face go slack for a few seconds. She just shifted between smiles. I liked that too.

Holly Marie Combs and Brian Krause WW Tulsa 2018

Holly Marie Combs and Brian Krause do a lot of Wizard World conventions together. Their tables are next to other. They actually seem to like each other.

I got Brian first. I mentioned I watched about 5 seasons of Charmed.  He asked if I got tired of it. I told him the truth, once I got a job, I stopped watching a lot of TV on Netflix. Priorities change.

Then I moved to Holly’s line.  She was distracted as she needed a new sharpie and she appropriated it from Brian's table. He was busy with another fan.  Once he was done she got his attention, he took mock umbrage. Then the fun began. 

They had a lovers’ quarrel/spat.  It was done with tongue in cheek. They smiled as they threw verbal shots at each other. The fans heads ping ponged back and forth. I won’t say it was rehearsed but it probably happens several times a show. It’s was something they enjoyed doing and sharing.

I liked the comment that she was short. He’s not exactly tall.  He talked about having to wait for the apple crate to be brought to the set.  He mentioned to save time, he would do a straddle (legs spread wide) to lower himself into the frame. Then Holly mentioned he was good at that and could do it a long time. She said it in a ‘suggestive’ way and the ladies around Brian enjoyed the innuendo.
