Each of us at least once tried to squeeze through a crowd of fans to a star. Whether it is a pop star, a movie or a famous politician, it does not play a role. The main thing is to get the treasured "squiggle" from the hand of his idol. How can I get autographs of stars today? And are there any of the safest among them?
"Autographomania is 100%, or how to get an autograph for free?"
If you have never asked for an autograph, then you should read Sergei Lunenko’s informative book entitled “Autographomania 100%, or how to get an autograph for free?” In this publication you can find a lot of useful tips, many of which are associated with a certain risk. For example, in the first case, it is proposed to expect a star near the “back door”, where most often a celebrity goes after a tiring concert, premiere or any other public appearance.
However, this method, as the author himself warns of a kind of training manual for fans, does not give any guarantees at all. That is, you can stand in the area of the "emergency exit" for a long time and not get an autograph of the star. After all, people in creative professions are almost unpredictable. They can go from a completely different direction or turn to fans through a manager and declare their unwillingness to communicate, for example, due to fatigue.
In addition, besides you, there will also be many other “mural hunters” near the “back door”. And in case your idol appears, the crowd can abruptly move in his direction. Therefore, there is always a danger that you will simply be crushed or injured.
Getting an autograph right on the street or at the airport
Autographs of stars (photos of some celebrities can be found in our article) can be obtained if you literally "catch a star by surprise." For example, you can meet her at the airport, cafe, shop and so on. However, for this it is necessary to know with accuracy at least an approximate route of a celebrity.
The method, in principle, is not bad. But it will not be effective if you do not have reliable friends who could "merge" information about the star for a fee.
Autograph session as a way to get a star’s signature
The second option is less traumatic and more legal. It provides for timely attendance at autograph sessions, where you can easily get autographs of stars. At such events, as a rule, there are journalists and the most knowledgeable fans of celebrity activities.
You can find out about a similar session with a star from the following sources:
- from official artist fan forums;
- from the press service or from a celebrity manager;
- on the official resources of the star (this includes sites, fan pages on social networks, etc.);
- from the press or advertisements.
Plus of this option is minimal risks and the absence of traumatic factors. Of the minuses - you have a low chance of getting there if you don’t have friends among journalists or other people in contact with the stars.
Is it possible to get an autograph of a star by mail?
If running around, crushing and hassle is not for you, then there is a simpler option for getting the little you need. In particular, today it is really possible to order autographs of stars by mail. There are two ways to do this. The hardest part is finding your email addresses yourself. To do this, you need to spend a lot of time shoveling sites, forums and other sources. For example, the "electronic" Chuck Norris is in the public domain.
To find a mailing address, you can look at celebritiesfans.com, where there is not only information about celebrities, but also links to their official sites and pages on social networks.
For example, actress Sharon Stone lives at:
Further, you can send a letter to this address with a request to send an autograph. In this case, it is advisable to insert a spare envelope indicating your return address.
And the second option is to contact a specialized online autograph store and buy a ready-made one.
How to write a letter to a star asking for an autograph?
If you need, for example, autographs of rock stars, and you have chosen a more difficult option for their receipt, then certain rules should be followed when writing a letter. Firstly, if you are applying for a Hollywood celebrity, then the text of the letter must be in English. If you do not know this language, then it is enough to write the preliminary text of the letter and translate it using an online translator. Let this letter be not completely correct from the point of view of grammar, but the meaning of his star is sure to catch.
Secondly, write your name in Latin, so it will be much easier for a star to sign a photo or a card for you. Thirdly, to get autographs of Hollywood stars, do not write anything superfluous in the text of the letter. It’s enough to say hello, say a few words about the fact that you have been a fan of celebrity creativity for quite some time, and ask them to send you a photo and a signature. And then - expect an answer. Of course, nothing can be said for sure here. Getting an autograph in this case depends on pure luck.
How to order an autograph online?
If you decide to order an autograph in the Autographomania online store, then you just need to enter the site and select the available autographs from the catalog. For convenience, all celebrities are divided into the following sections:
- all Stars;
- musicians;
- TV presenters;
- actors
- Star Factory.
For example, here you can find the intricate signatures of Soso Pavliashvili, Anfisa Chekhova, Potap and Nastya, Mikhail Grebenshchikov and even the KVN team “Children of Lieutenant Schmidt”. The officially declared price of an autograph is from 500 rubles. In this case, the cost will vary on the size of the photo or poster on which the star once signed. So, a signed poster of a Chilean singer in A3 format will cost her fans 800 rubles, and a postcard in A5 format will cost 500 rubles.
The main advantage is that the autographs are really authentic here. On the site you can see the video confirmation with the star itself.
Among the minuses, it can be distinguished that the signature will not be registered, that is, a celebrity does not address it to you, but simply puts his standard autograph. Also, in addition to the price, the star's signature includes payment for the delivery of your order. Its cost in Moscow, for example, will cost 350 rubles. Well, of course, here you will not find Hollywood stars - only celebrities of domestic show business.
