Ron Clements (+ Adam Levine)

This is Ron Clements. Even MORE kind faced in life.

How many girls can say they have the creator of The Little Mermaid's name scrawled on a peice of inconspicuous paper and pinned to their 'Notice Board of Keepsakes'

Hoepfully only one. Me!
That's right Ron Clements co- creator of Disney's 1989 (c'mon the only version worth knowing) The Little Mermaid was present, along with Anika Noni Rose the BFI southbank(NFT) for the Q&A preview screening of The Princess and the Frog. I met him and with the aid of a friend, spoke briefly and got his marvellous artistic hands to be forever immortalised in my possession. I'm swooning over it still. I would like to take the time to disclose that I'm not one of those people who chase celebs for their autographs, really I'm not - I get photos sometimes, but rarely.

I do have Adam Levine of Maroon 5 fame's a'graff, but that's because I was 17 and strolling through Covent Garden listening to his album and out of no where, Adam walks out in front of me. I was with my sister at the time, and she agreed it was too surreal that I happened to be rocking out to the CD which was in my bag, and to not get him to sign it would be a huge regret.
So I did, and he seemed chuffed to do it. I don't think he pictured his fan would be a short black South East London girl hanging out in Covent Garden with his bands CD in tow...his exact words of incredulity were : You carry the CD around with you? - Pssh whatever Levine, my mini disc player was broken and mp3s were still breaking on to the scene. It was acceptable to have a CD player on you at the time.

Its been a good couple of weeks thank him upstairs (or whatever helps you sleep at night)
