first of all, i think all of these pictures of Maria are great. :D
gather around all and i will tell you a tale of possibly the greatest day of my life.
i will give as best details as i can.
ok, i was very fortunate to meet Maria. i picked up that days paper at work to see what time her championship match at the Nasdaq was. well, i find out and then i turned the page. and there is beautiful Maria in her perfume ad. of course my jaw dropped cause i never really thought i could ever meet her. so the next day i arrive about three hours early and it was just me and like two other people. ok, of course i buy her perfume and some cologne for myself and i received a free Maria Sharapova Siberian Husky Dog stuffed animal for spending 100 bucks. but for Maria its worth it. :wink: honestly, i didnt think much of the event as of yet cause i am not really into tall girls and i just thought it would be cool to meet someone i enjoy watching play tennis. but it was the complete opposite. i couldnt get over how beautiful she was in person. pictures dont do her justice. lets just say if this was star trek, she was set to maximum stun.lol :) so, i finally get in the store and meet her. my goodness, what a class act. i thought she would be a little stuck up or upset cause she lost the championship match to Kuznetsova, but she was pleasant and willing to sign anything you wanted. so i brought my sports illustrated swimsuit edition with me to sign the foldout. you all know which one. :wink: so i simply said hello Maria and put the magazine down and she actually started signing the front of it. but i apologized and told her i wanted the foldout signed. she said sure and she signed it. i thought she was going to get upset but didnt. then i said it would be awesome if i could get a picture with you. and she said no problem. and of course thats all i could get out cause i locked up like a school boy. i wish i had said more but the fact that she was nice was good enough for me. so then i saw people getting more than just one autograph so i got back in line and no one noticed and i got in again. i told her i was sorry to come in again but i wanted just one more signature. i asked her to sign the picture in the sports illustrated mag of her in her swimsuit and tennis outfit with her pattented fist pump. i also asked her to make it out in my name and she did with no problem. i said thank you so much and she said your welcome. i was floored. i should have asked her to dinner but i didnt want her calling for security.lol so i waited a little after and she left to her limo and i followed her out i saw her get in. but the picture came out poorly. :cry: i got into my car and tried to get over to where she was but she had already left. so that is pretty much it. hope this wasnt to long or boring to you all. but hopefully i can see her again at the Nasdaq next year. hope you all enjoyed my story. if you all want to see more pictures of her, i have a myspace page that you can visit. its a tribute site to the most beautiful girl in the world. :D i have nothing but the most admiration and respect fo her.
