Pinky's Fandance - Paris Themmen

At the recent Hollywood Show, they had a reunion of sorts with the Willy Wonka kids from the original film. Although I loved the movie (who didn't?), I wasn't planning on getting any autographs or pictures with them until our friend Susan gave us a super cool poster. Plus, she told us that for $20 we could get an autograph AND a picture from each one. That didn't seem unreasonable, except for one problem: the guy who played "Mike TeeVee" (Paris Themmen) wasn't taking pictures at his booth. Um, what? All the rest of them did, but he didn't? What kind of crap was that?

His logic was that the show was selling a group shot for $150 (which did not include any autographs). Um, fine, but what did that have to do with us? So, we waited until after that picture was taken and then tried to get his picture. We started at his booth figuring if he didn't do it, then we wouldn't get anyone. Luckily the person in front of us talked Paris into a picture and then he couldn't really say no to us...score! Once we met him, we were able to get the rest of the kids without a problem. Hooray!
