I wanted to leave a note prior to my message, and thank my three gentleman (Dave, DaveC, and Tony) who looked after me while I was in England last month. You all kept me sane and brought me comfort when I needed it most and felt insecure, thank you so much for everything  I love you all, and cannot wait to see you in January! As promised, I've made a video blog about my trip experience. Its quite lengthy (2.5 hours!) now you can imagine why I didn't type it all up, its much easier to record and display the emotions I felt during the trip. It took me a lot of courage to make these videos, as you'll see, this is my first time being very open about several topics, and I am aware that millions can have access to these videos, so I did take caution while discussing my personal life or the encounters I had with Anna and her family. It is my personal decision to not disclose, expose, or reveal any details surrounding the Gala Night after party, the conversations I had with Anna's family, or any other topics regarding that night. I have a tremendous amount of respect for the Friel family, and I refuse to cross the boundaries of privacy. The family gave me their trust, and I will honor that promise. Please do not send me emails or comments asking for further details of the after party, they will remain unopened and disposed of. www.youtube.com/thewlisrox (Videos entitled Supporting Anna Friel in "Breakfast at Tiffany's" 1-15) Photos coming soon. |

Tony - thank you so much for your kind response  what a memorable last day indeed. I still remember our surprised reaction, how we sat in Piccadilly Circus for hours stunned (and reading all of the Gala night reviews in the papers). Oh he has quite a cynical and sarcastic sense of humor  . Any chance he gets he loves to poke at my affections for David and Anna - you should hear some of the other 'jokes' he comes up with...his most recent favorite is that he threatens in the future to cast David and Anna in one of his films, and then ban me from visiting the set. ha. ha. ha.  |

Pictures ahoy! Since it was my third time in London, I didn't take many photos until Viccy and Janine arrived a few days before my departure. Images are copyright to Thewlis Rox and Anna Friel's Official Website. First (unintentional) photo during the trip, a paparazzi took this image of Anna and I together on opening night when she came out the back doors after her first ever performance for the production.  Anna invades London!  This is the poster we ended up stealing - ahem - borrowing!  Site Night! You've all see these ;D !   The following week, DaveC and I spent the day together to see the play yet again. This is one of the photos he took as Anna stepped out the back doors between shows to greet fans. This is also the photo we printed as a gift for Anna's family on Gala Night.  Me & Anna   A couple of weeks later - Viccy ('Thewlis Rox' forum administrator) and Janine arrive! Hmmm, I wonder where we headed first?    Viccy being a sarcastic tourist...  TANNIM!  Me, Viccy, and Janine in Trafalgar Square  Janine, Viccy, and...TANNIM!  The gang...and TANNIM!   All of us in front of David and Anna's house! Only joking...Buckingham Palace!  Us again...and TANNIM!  The clock tower!  Tourists...  Parliament (yea still being tourists...)  No words.   Nap time...  Me with TANNIM!  Celebrating Viccy and Janine's arrival  This is what happens when we ban you from the forum (well, at 'Thewlis Rox' at least, hehe)  NOES!  Presents for Anna (today, Viccy and Janine see the play for the first time)!  Boooooo paparazzi (there were at least 15-20 of them there that morning).  The bear got attached to Viccy, until it saw Anna, haha!  JASPER KITTY (Anna's cat in the play)!  A wonderful meeting with Anna after the show!  Us with Joseph Cross (NOM NOM!)  Gala Night - Viccy ran into David prior to the show and he signed her copy of The Late Hector Kipling  Me and David at the after party (he's such a sweeheart!)  All of us with David outside the Haymarket Hotel (thanks to Desi for taking the photos!)  Another photo, David wanted to button up his shirt LOL  Viccy and Janine with James Dreyfus (who plays OJ Berman in the show)  My last day in London  Me and Tony (from here!) he came to visit me on my last day.  |

You could never be needy, whiny, and annoying you may be small but they do say all good things come in small packages |

Oh I am needy, quite feisty, and persistent. My husband could confirm that as well as myself ;D !
Thank you Tony, small people rock *high five*! Anna and I are the exact same height, except she cheats with those fab high-heels of hers (which I adore).

One more photo! 9/28/09 - We all went down to a photo studio in London and dressed up for time-period photos, had a great time! Viccy and Janine recently sent me the scan;  Now we have a proposal for you Dave! There are six of us lovely ladies going in January (Myself, Tannim, Viccy, Janine, Tessa, and Simone) - we're going back to get photos like this of all us together and we wanted you to be King Henry and we'll all be your six wives! ;D LOL - no joke! Plleeeeaaaaaaaaassssssssseeeeeeee? |

I love you all, and cannot wait to see you in January!
