Hi firefan
Well ... it is a bit late considering you've already sent your request
Normally I would have waited a little longer, but I don't believe that your second request with the SASE & photos will harm your chances of receiving a success. If she does realise you've sent 2 requests, she may only choose to respond to your second one

If not, you may be lucky enough to receive responses to both your requests.
The worse that could happen right now is that you may get 2 successes, or not receive anything at all.
I guess in the future, you may want to wait a little longer (say over 6 months or even up to a year) before writing again, especially if you've seen successes from the celebrity from people who have sent a request around the same time as you.
Good luck!
