What you mean

Stop taking over I want to do some I joke!
You seem happy enough doing it and we are all pretty much in agreement aren't

I have a vote for quirky/odd faces

Haha, only if everyone's sure Well first we all need to do a page.. I won't really be doing much, only putting the fab pages into a book and putting some pics in It will be thanks to the Mambo Mafia

That sound like a great idea. I know the Ali and Brian thread did something similar and it turned out really well.

Sheep of light, loving your epic posts.

oh no i'm useless at this sort of thing :S should i do it on a word document? how much should i write and should i put some of my fav pics on? what if people put the same pics on?

I know im probably gunna sound a bit thick here... but i dont actually understand whats happening
How are we making out own fan pages etc... what programmes are being used and stuff and are they being done on comp or like handmade?

List of names? What if you're not in the list of names

And as for writing stuff to put in the book.... I wouldn't know what to say to her :/

I'm pleased I'm not the only one confused! Could you maybe put up a few examples?

lol! I was just joking

I'd say make something through word,powerpoint or something along those lines, then save it, send it to LaurenD and then she can print it out in colour..
If she can that is

Should we make a thread about it on the other forum as it might get a little confusing on here?

Well, to be honest its all upto everyone I don't want to say do this or anything, just write whatever you like I think it would be best on a word document. Just arranged with text and pics.. However, I don't know if they would all work in the way they are set out haha!! Would be great if we could send the book around to everyone and get each and everyone of us to add our own messages, that way everyone is involved. Snoop you could still send a fan page and have yours put in? Just thought then people get to add more of a personal touch to it? I can still buy the book and start with it, then post it to the nearest person to me x

Right, sorry for all the confusion.. I just had a thought, I think it would be a lot nicer if we could all actually write into the book. I was thinking I could buy the book, and then write in it, and post it off to the person who wants it next. That way it would be a lot more personal and people can write exactly what they want and stick what they want in What do you think?

Oh i get you... so you start then post it to someone else and they put theirs in then onto someone else to put theirs in etc...
I think thats a better idea... just one small problem i dont have a printer :/ )
(And also... i dont have microsoft office :/, damn i need to be more updated!)

Yes i think thats a good plan!
Now i just need to work out how to get some pictures printed off :/ )

yeh i thinkthe personalised touch would be lovely but i was just thinking of time...and the variety of places people come from...? maybe we should make a proper post on mambo mafia about it

Haha handwrite in it

But won't it get more and more expensive as it's being sent to different people?

I'm confuuuused

It may get a slight bit more expensive, but not loads as the book itself isn't going to get very heavy?

Haha basically all I mean, is I go and buy a fan book, write in it, then post it to the next person who wants to write in it, then they post it on after they have done etc?

I think it's easier to just make our pages and email them to LaurenD. If we send it around that can get expensive, especially for me and whoever sends it to me, since I'm in the US.

I have a question to ask, I remember that Tracy and willow (Danielle's cousin) really liked my Zone essay that I posted in the first Appreciation thread, and I was thinking of putting it in my scrapbook page for Danielle, but I don't want to freak her out or anything. Do you guys think this it would be too weird to put in there? Am I being too paranoid? Here is the essay in case people don't remember it:

Danielle In the Zone!

OK, this thought comes from when I was watching "Buenos Aires" again last night and noticed something really interesting at the end of the song (I'm not sure if this is in the YouTube clips, but if you have the full show recorded, check it out). As the song ends, Danielle and Lauren are back to back and both completely in character, and stay that way until Graham starts talking, whereupon Lauren immediately breaks her pose, but Danielle kind of slowly "wakes up", like she's been in a trance or something. Then, I remembered that comment in here earlier about her looking so focused during one part of the last mashup, and I realized something--this is the secret to Danielle's success! She goes into The Zone!

I will explain further. I myself am a more reserved person in public situations, but I have done some amateur acting and have played some leads in plays. I have found that acting is much easier for me than public speaking, because I am playing a character and can lose myself in that character. I've seen other people who are much better at that than I am, though, and I've realized that, even though she's really young, Danielle is an absolute pro at it! She seems to have such complete concentration that it actually looks somewhat like she is coming out of a trance at the end--hence, the Zone.

When Danielle is in her Zone, she doesn't really make mistakes. She has perfect concentration and energy, and is able to be a lot bolder and more expressive onstage than she is when being herself. It's like she becomes a different person. The problem comes when something happens to throw her out of her Zone. I saw this a little bit in "Could It Be Magic", possibly because she wasn't entirely comfortable with the song, but that's conjecture because I can't read her mind and I can only go by what I see, and I did see a slight loss of focus at times in that song, but she mostly held it together.

On the results show, Danielle was in her Zone more than ever on the group numbers, hence the "waking up from a dream" reaction when Buenos Aires ended and Graham started talking, snapping her out of it. Then, the sing-off happened and I think Danielle was completely caught off guard. Her body language says it--she's a bit stiff and her eyes look kind of glazed. She sings wonderfully, but it doesn't look like her heart is in it until about 2/3 of the way through the song, when she finally seems to go back into the Zone, at least to a degree, but she still doesn't seem as totally committed and focused as she has in her other songs. People talk about her not expressing emotion, but I think it's the shock and emotion of everything that threw Danielle out of her Zone.

Other actors--really good ones--go into the Zone, too, but the really experienced ones transition out of it more smoothly than Danielle did after "Buenos Aires". Look at Lauren--she is also 100% focused and holds the pose until Graham starts talking, but she breaks right out of it then. I think this might be because she is older than Danielle and a more trained actress, so she's more smooth with the transition of going in and out of the Zone. That doesn't matter one iota, though. What matters is the total concentration during the performance, where she *becomes* the character she is playing, even in the group numbers where a lot of people would think it's not as important. It seems to be important for Danielle, though, because she does this with *everything*, even the dance mission. She's in the Zone, and when she is, she shines.

So, I think the real key to this week's performance is for Danielle to get in her Zone for her song, and stay there for the whole performance. She can definitely do this, because she does it so well in almost every performance. When she's not in the Zone, things can get dicey, but when she is, she is a force to be reckoned with

Ahh ok. And that'll be done over summer right? Cos my uni address is obviously different from my home address....

PS. I don't get the list of names thing?

I really think thats a good idea
Send it off in a proper envelope (with bubble wrap inside )
Then can we not jsut keep sticking a big white sticker over each address and replacing it with another or do postal rules say thats not allowed?
Then all each person has to get is a big white sticker

I dont get that either

Its upto everyone what they want to do I will do either We will sort out everything for defo tomorrow? What sort of book shall I buy? And snoop you can put whatever you like
