My Fangirl Moment with “Friend in My Head” Eva Longoria at the Premiere of Dog Days

08/09/18 | Entertainment

So days before I attended the Premiere of LD Entertainment film Dog Days, I put one thing into the universe…That I would have my moment to totally Fangirl Eva Longoria.  She plays the character of Grace in Dog Days, a mom who who desperately tries to gain love and acceptance from her newly adopted daughter.  And she’s really an awesome person.

I’ve been a huge fan of Eva Longoria since her days as Gabrielle Solis in Desperate Housewives and quite possibly the biggest fan of Devious Maids, which she executive produced.  I’d never met her personally before this day, but there’s always been something about her energy and persona that I have truly adored and admired. In my head, she’s like the perfect pretty girl who’s not afraid to make silly faces and laughs at herself when she trips. She’s smart, talented and unapologetic in her independence and womanhood.  Totally the kind of woman I’d want to be BFFs with. 🙂

Now, you know how sometimes you just can’t wait to meet a celebrity and then when you meet them, that moment becomes such a disappointment? Well, that was definitely not the case here.

I’ll get to that story in just a moment, but first, let me tell you about the red…or rather, green carpet premiere of Dog Days…

The Green Carpet was placed amidst a busy LA Mall.  Imagine a dog park oasis in the middle of an outdoor mall.  Green flooring, music, food, celebrities, and of course, some adorable dogs!  The atmosphere was not at all pretentious, as several of the celebrities from the film and around LA just walked around and pre-partied with the crowd.

Among the celebrities we got to mingle with were…From the movie Dog Days, John Bass, Michael Cassidy, Tone Bell, and Phoebe Neidhardt.  Plus other celebrity sightings of David Koeshner of Anchorman, Laura Govan of Basketball Wives, Tori Spelling of 90210 and several more.

Here was the thing though…the remainder of the stars of the movie were pretty much held up on the carpet taking official photos and what not. They couldn’t enter through the pre-party area and were rushed up to the theater right after the photo shoot.  At that point, I pretty much accepted the fact that meeting Eva – at least that day – was just not going to happen.  Oh well…

But then…

Just as I was about to exit the party, with my hair and makeup having almost completely given up on me, I looked up and there she was!  Just to show you how down to earth Eva Longoria is, she had managed to break away from the group to grab a bite to eat.  I’m talking corn dog with mustard and ketchup and everything!  White dress be damned!

Anyway, I just had to go for it.  I approached her (nicely…not stalker-ish), told her how much I adored her and asked for a selfie.  Seriously, she had every right to say to me, “Lady (or another expletive), if you don’t get out of my face and let me finish my corn dog in peace…” Instead, she smiled and said, “Ok, real quick though.”  And just like that, I had my fangirl moment and she completely proved to be one of the most down to earth celebrities in Hollywood!  Now, I doubt Eva Longoria will ever read this blog post, but just in case it ever ends up in her Google search or something…”Thank you, Eva…you are awesome!”

And here’s the selfie…
