Autograph Letter Writing Question (your feedback)

Unread post by Paulnyr »

Okay, I've never actually known the correct procedure for writing letters to someone who uses a stage name.

For example, should you address your letter Dear Lady Gaga, Dear Ms Gaga, or her real name Dear Ms Germanotta?

The same with Rihanna, or Slash from Guns And Roses....

I just wondered what you lot do, or would do.

when i wrote to Slash, i used "Dear Slash". i just figured he'd be so used to hearing fans use that instead of his real name. kinda the same thing with Marilyn Manson, i wrote "Dear Mr. Manson".

It's entirely up to the person, but I would personally address them as we 'know' them best - for example I would write "Dear Lady Gaga", "Dear Slash" and "Dear Rihanna" but again, it's entirely up to you. I'm not really 100% sure what the correct procedure is and what everyone else puts, but that's how I'd write it.

In all honesty, I doubt Rihanna will ever read our letters :(

However, as a general rule to keep in mind, I would use their stage name. Eg ''Dear Rihanna'' not ''Dear Ms. Fenty''
Best successes: Gal Gadot, Jennifer Lawrence, Catherine Zeta-Jones, Rachel McAdams

Best Responses: Freida Pinto, Gemma Arterton, Berenice Marlohe, Jeremy Renner

Recent successes: Connie Nielsen, Ursula Corbero, Daniela Melchior, Kate Beckinsale, Amber Heard

I dont like rihanna but in general i hate that excuse because the truth is they are the star driving the tour and they are in charge and if they told their tour managers and crew i want all my mail given to me so i can sign it the manager and crew would have to do what she asks because without her or whoever it may be their is no job for the tour manager and crew so its really just an excuse because if they wanted to sign ttm they would and they could.
