If you send a small birthday gift to a celeb how can you be sure they got the gift and not just their agent? As its really hard to find celebs home address's.

Well, you can never know for sure :( Unless you actually see a photo of them wearing the chain you sent them or something like that :D - which doesn't happen that often! :|

Dear Fatima,

that actually happened to a friend of mine. He designed his own rhinestone t-shirt for a Madonna show and Madonna did like his shirt so much that she had sent her manager Guy Oseary to him after the show and ask him where he got the shiort from. When he said that it's unique Guy asked him if he could do another one for Madonna. He did so within a day, sent it to Guy's hotel and Madonna wore his t-shirt when she was in Rome earlier this month.

Best,
Stephan

that actually happened to a friend of mine. He designed his own rhinestone t-shirt for a Madonna show and Madonna did like his shirt so much that she had sent her manager Guy O'Leary to him after the show and ask him where he got the shiort from. When he said that it's unique Guy asked him if he could do another one for Madonna. He did so within a day, sent it to Guy's hotel and Madonna wore his t-shirt when she was in Rome earlier this month.

Well, I didn't say it was impossible! ;) That must have been a great shirt :D You wouldn't have a picture of that shirt do you? :D

Very cool, Stephan! {up} I have never sent anyone a birthday card or anything, so when should you send it to make sure they dont read it like a month after their birthday?

Dear Nicole,

that really depends on the celebrity you are writing to. I would not recommand to send birthday cards to any A-list stars (such as Johnny Depp, Julia Roberts, Madonna, etc.) since those stars won't get and read such birthday greetings.

It also depends on where (country) you want to send your birthday card to. For example my birthday is on September 18th and I'm living in Germany. So if you were planning on sending me a birthday card you should sent it off 1-2 weeks prior to my birthday.

I've experienced that a lot of vintage stars appreciate a lot to receive birthday greetings and most will even reply with a short note.

Since I know that you are a huge fan of matthew Broderick and Nathan Lane... well, Nathan Lane is really nice in person so I could imagine if you send a birthday card to his current play it might even get to him and he surely will be delighted. As for Matthew Broderick forget about him, he's very sought-after.

Best of luck,
Stephan

Hey everyone, I need your opinion on this. I was going to write to Nathan Lane, write this in a birthday card, and of course send some photos for him to sign. I need an opinion on this:
Nathan, I'm not sure of when you'll get this, so Happy early Birthday! Be good to yourself, stay great, and say Hi to Mel for me! (smiley face)

Always remember that you'll have fans forever.
Do you think it should be longer? I've never done this before, so I would like some advice. Thanks {up}
