Why the FUCK would you want her autograph?[/QUOTE]

Exactly what I was thinking. Jeez - 'celebrity' by association is just ridiculous in this day and age isn't it.

You can have my autograph if you like - in my last job two of my colleagues were:

1) the brother of Topper Headon (The Clash's drummer), and
2) George Michael's uncle (true fact, not made up), so that probably makes my autograph twice as valuable as Mary's as she was only associated with one famous person??[/QUOTE]

Not true. Mary was a direct relation of Freddie's, you are as they say "twice removed" ;-)

I am a Queen Fan. Freddie was out of Queen. I will give you my autograph if you want. A 'Mary' autograph will bring you just as close to Freddie as I will. Seriously. If you want my autograph I will send it to you. Send me your address.

Hey DayDop, you should have gone up to Mary and said in Freddie's famous words, 'Dislocate your spine if you don't sign..'. I am just kidding; please don't be sending hate replies my way! [/QUOTE]

Not at all. That was really cool. You'll fit right in here.

That's neat that you got to see her. I'm glad she has someone there to protect her, whether it was security or just a friend. Yes, she is a celebrity (a famous person), but she is not an entertainer. So asking for her autograph is "cute" but it would be like asking Freddie's mother for an autograph. Whoever was with her was certainly being cautious on her behalf, which is a good thing, right?

Give him a break, I might have asked for her autograph and I would also ask for Freddies moms too. Freddie loved Mary and she was there for his entire career...why not ask?

I want your autograph, mooghead. I'm your #1 fan.

You asked me a question, I gave you a genuine answer, and that's the shit you come back with?



I can see what people mean about this place and why they don't bother posting much here anymore.

I agree with you DD. Doesn't matter, there are those of us who will read and appreciate your post. I was thinking and any FM fan can certainly appreciate an encounter with the person he valued most in his life! He told her everything, entrusted his ashes to her, left her his home. No speculation as he says he was closest to her in interviews. You negative sorts need to sit down and shut up. And, since I tend to be a thread killer... this will probably be the last post here! LOL Hey, DD, did you see the thread where I was chatting with the person who is best friends with Freddies nephew? I even thought that interesting, what that person had to say about his family! I found it fascinating. It's the thread about Kash's kids and what their names are. Now, some of you may say that the person wasn't who she/he claimed to be but from what was written I tend to believe it's true.

So, call me an idiot...I'm old enough to simply not care.

you're ^^^ confusing natural curiosity with morbid intangilbe celebrity attachment. Mary is NOT and never has been a celebrity. she has never sought any kind of celebrity status and is a very private person.

as a non-celeb she has complete and utter entitlement to privacy within her family life. therefore asking her for an autograph is - by default - attaching celebrity status to her - the one thing she is not. i accept that the OP was nothing more than clumsy, but this thread shows why so many "fans" are dangerously obsessive - their kids, families, partners, parents....it's weird in the extreme. and horrbile

imagine someone invading your privacy - against your wishes - how would YOU feel?

LOL...I seriously doubt that asking her for her autograph out in public..on the street..is invasion of her privacy! OP was told no and moved on. She smiled for petes sake. I don't believe the OP is morbidly attached nor obsessive and neither am I. No one called her a celebrity...she was very close and connected.

AND by the way...I DO have people invade my privacy unannouced due to the way I live! I think it's sort of cool that people are curious and wish to see and understand. I've taken a very different path in life than the norm and people are curious...I don't get all upset. Brenski...you are the one taking this way out on a limb.

I'm over it. Move on. Just think before you call people names, it's RUDE at best.

where did i call anyone names? i said it was strange - it is.
iof you choose to live a different lifestyle then good for you
but from what we understand, mary and anyone else in her position are not celebs and therefore are entitled to privacy

as for the "smile" she gave - you should check the news from the UK this week - where a teenage girl commented on twitter about a "strange man"
following her about everywhere, next thing she boards a bus to school and is stabbed to death by the same guy.

with these kind of crazies about everywhere these days, it's easy to understand why Mary may have "politely smiled". the OP is not a crazy - but there's plenty
out there that are

Well it is pretty neat to see someone like Mary In the flesh instead of a tv screen on one of those FM documentarys, and heck, if you did get her autograph you might have gotten some cash from some weird fan off ebay

since you ask. my reply was mainly aimed at Guild93 - who seems to imply an autograph is the least she should do. preposterous crap!

as for your comments: at worst you were clumsy. but and this is a big but - fact you shared that you asked her in the first place implies you felt it alright to ask a non-celeb for an autograph
secondly, did it ever occur to you that out of all the so-called friends who have appeared in freddie docus - she is one of a minute number who have actually maintained a level of reverence and respect for a true friend that she cared deeply about.[/QUOTE]

Youre so vain.. leave the poor member/man alone, there's nothing wrong for what he did.. How many times you have done or asked "stupid questions" in your life feeling embarrased afterwaards?

Ive stopped bus drivers when I was teenager just to ask "what time is it?". Mary has know since she become integral part of Freddies life, publicity would be part of her life till her last breath, altough it narrowed significantly after Freddie passed away, she's still known and recognised by millions of queen's die hard fans. So its no wonder every now and then some of those fans seizes the moment when they bump up to her out in the open.. and asks things like autographs? - You should get a life yourself and stop being such an asshole.. and apologiser this poor member of our communiyty.

Maybe because people are so crazy over Freddie this and Freddie that, Mary has to be extra careful while in public.

But it is not true that she knew she would be in the public eye, because when she met and became close to Freddie, he was not successful or famous.

Please don't think I'm being disrespectful of anyone's opinion about Mary, but Freddie chose to have here around to the end and afterwards, so why would anyone disrespect his wishes? He loved her, she loved him. They were friends their entire adult lives. That was Freddie's choice. So be it.
