Emily Osment Confusing & odd Success/Failure?!?! :(

Say Whaaa?!?! :? Just got a very quick reply back from my Emily Osment request that I sent to her August 25th concert in South Dakota, but wasn’t quite the reply I expected or had hoped for.

For starters she cut my return address label off of my SASE and taped it to her own envelope of the same size, and from the looks of it, also cut the stamp off too and taped it on?!?! :?

Then for the real killer, I sent her five items (four photos and a custom card) for me and my sister Sara, and all that was in the envelope was the 4x6 photo personalized to my Sister! No sign of the other items and no note or anything explaining why she didn’t send the others back. :(

So kinda baffled & really confused at this one, the person I was in contact with about passing my letter onto her said they personally gave it to her, so it must be a mistake on Emily’s part I guess?? I still can’t figure out the SASE part though. I’m hoping maybe she realized her mistake and my photos will be here later this week. My sister is pretty happy with hers though! lol. :lol:

That's really confusing :S You must be really disappointed :( {down}
It happened to me once when I asked a formula 1 driver for an autograph for me and one for my best made.
He only sent one for my best mate and I was very very sad :(

I keep my fingers crossed that she will resend the other photos! {up}

Sparkly ?

Isn't it obvious? She put all the photos back in your original envelope and sent them out, but a postal worker saw it, opened it, kept all of them for himself except Sara's because it was personalized, then put it back into a new envelope, and cut out the address and stamps from the old envelope to use on the new one. This is all true and not just some fantastic story I'm making up because I had too much to drink this morning.

Haha!! I highly doubt that, mainly because of the postmark on the envelope. it's postmarked from South Dakota. I talked with the person who passed my letter along to her and they said they gave Emily around 10 letters from various fans and she took them into her dressing room. so their not sure where my other four photos went. worst case scenario is they wound up in one of the other 8 requests since they weren't in Tabby's. or she sent them in another envelope and they'll arrive tomorrow. :)

Thank you Nicole!! I'm definitly not giving up hope yet. I had a similar situation happen with Actor Matthew Modine. and he ended up sending back all my items in his own envelope. {up} So eagerly waiting for tomorrow!

I find the postal worker theory pretty far fetched but i have a more realistic theory. Its not so weird for someone to not send back all the photos signed but the cutting out and taping your address and stamp onto an exact same size envelope makes no sence at all unless when she was ripping open or cutting open your envelope not knowing there was photos or a return envelope inside she accidentally ripped or cut through all the photos but 1 and the return envelope so instead of sending nothing she sent back the one photo for your sister and made up her own return envelope. It can be easy to rip whats inside if you arent careful.My theory makes sence and is the only thing that really explains it because even if she mixed up the other photos that doesnt explain the odd envelope thing.
