Meeting Hilary Duff

I randomly found online information about a Hilary Duff book signing back on December 1, 2010. I was working at the law office that day and debated the whole day if I would go or not. The book signing was in Glendale at 7:00pm - right on my way home so once I got off work I figured I might as well go. I knew that Hilary had written a book and it had been released in October. I thought it would be cool to go to the signing and get to meet her in person, so I went.

Now, for those of you who don't know I am a HUGE Hilary Duff fan. I grew up watching her TV show "Lizzie McGuire". She was one of my biggest acting/singing idols growing up and someone who inspired me with my own acting dreams. I own most of her movies and have every single one of her CDs (so far). When I heard that she wrote a book I was so excited. So once I got to Borders for the signing, I bought her book "Elixir" and waited in line for almost 2 hours to meet her.

Once I got to the front to meet her it was a little surreal. It's always a little different when you are used to seeing someone on TV and then see them in person. She's so tiny. She was a good few inches shorter than me (with about 4/5 inch heels on). Her diamond engagement ring is HUGE. And she's so sweet! I told her that she is one of my inspirations with my acting career. She said thanks. I said something about being from out of state and she asked where. I said Virginia and she said cool. She asked how I liked the weather out here and I said I loved it - saying I hate the cold weather. She said she's the same way. I then told her I was so excited when I heard she wrote a book and couldn't wait to read it. She said thanks and she hoped I would like it. She then wished me luck with my acting career and I said thanks. After getting to talk with her for a little bit, she signed my book and took a picture with me. This was such a wonderful day for me! I'm glad I went and I hope to work with Hilary one day. Check out the pictures below :)
