we're almost famous!!

Mary!!
We are all now almost  famous!! Our blog has been blogged. Wow does it get any better?  Maybe Shannon will send our link to Mr Flaming Lips AND he could forward it to Melanie.(hint hint)  Or the Today Show. Or Oprah. OMG. OMG. Mary ... do you see where this is  going? DO NOT STOP SMOKING & DRINKING yet!  Shannon,  this might be a way for you to redeem yourself with our leader Mary for being too polite! http://maryfindingmelanie.blogspot.com

In the meantime here is our current claim to fame.
http://themitzners.blogspot.com


Enjoy.
Mary (too)

Mary,
I just wish we could get it to Melanie.  She would probably die laughing and and have a huge boost, which is what we all would love for her.  She is great and a lovely person. I mean, what an ambassador for Hollywood!!  She was so kind and gentle and pleasant wherever she went.  Just lovely, tiny and smelling beautifully.  We want to honor her for being the epitome of what we would dream of a Hollywood star in our midst.  And she more than met that criteria.  I say, get this to her somehow.  She will be thrilled!!!  

Your sad leader,
Mary P.W.  

Mary,

I forgot to mention that I am also now stuck with the "Olde English" tattoo of "Steven" on my forearm, which is only going to cause him to believe that I am all, like, "in love" with him, which, as we know, means more "you know what".  Thanks again, Melanie!!!

Beleaguered, yet not quite dead,
Mary 

mary finding melanie.... NOT

Mary
I truly don't know what to say. I think if we try we could possibly find someone else to stalk. Maybe if you were to give me Hanna's address in NYC I could perch outside her doorstep, bribe the door man for some juicy info or some  worthy info  you could use against her to force her to come home for a visit or two?  Is that too much?  I'm willing. 
Either way I've immortalized your great leadership skills in this blog for the world to enjoy. Be sure and scroll all the way down to the bottom and read your way up. If we've offended anybody, then we have had at least some modicum of success. 

http://maryfindingmelanie.blogspot.com/

Surely some of the other actors are still in town.....

By the way, I say keep the baby, you could use a pet in your time of mourning. I guess the Pit Bull could stay too.  

Your loyal servant
Mary (the other .... oh whatever !)


Mary,
  Take heart, you will always be our fearless leader when an A,B,C or D celeb. comes to town.  We may need to appoint "minor" co-leaders for those occasions when relatives of celebrities come to our fair city...I have a few nominations in mind.  So in the mean time, let's continue to hone our "stalking" skills so we will be ready for our next assignment.  I  enjoyed the ride and for a brief time had a little "pep" in my step in hopes that I too may have had a
chance meeting with our Melanie.  Until next time ladies...we will be back.
sharon

love and tears

Mary,

I don't know what to say.  I feel that I may just shave and be done with it.  All the energy, the typing, the shout outs.  Is this it?  I mean I was all set for the disgusting events at Reeves Park.  Been to the tattoo parlor, done.  Grabbed a baby with only a diaper, done. Began smoking again since I have the drinking part down (as you were so kind to mention). Daisy Dukes for Steven and myself, done.  Wife beaters for Steven and myself, done. Have not brushed teeth or hair for several days already and kinda starting to like it.  About to approach skinny, shifty-eyed, scary-looking young man for some crack or maybe roofies, depending on what he had, just to kind of blend in with the rest of America ... and get into the whole hallucinatory feel, happy I did not actually get that done.  My life is now over, as we speak.  I CAN'T BELIEVE WE DIDN'T GET A VIEWING!!!!!!  You may send the blog on to whomever you see fit.  I also cannot believe you are going to be gone on the 4th ... and in NYC at that ... well...  ...  ...  ...  ... SIENNA MILLER, HERE WE COME!!!!!!

Love and tears from your sad leader and MANY THANKS for all you have contributed!  And all the other people who have reached out and contributed whatever scraps they have been able to glean.

Mary P.W.


Mary,
I forgot to ask, What do I do with this baby and all the cigarette butts I have saved up for her to chew?  I blame Melanie for this.

Trying to find an empty drawer or dog blanket for said baby.  She seems to like the beer just fine.  She's dozing with the Pit Bull as I write.

Mary

oh no.........

Mary
Having my nails done yesterday and my nail girl had done Melanie's nails/toes last week.  She said she was very nice, her bill was $100 and she tipped $50.  She has been staying at the Courtyard Marriott and was suppose to be leaving Norman today.
Babs

Babs-
Oh that's not very encouraging. Maybe she is just going for the weekend. I'm a little depressed now. I guess we will have to find someone else to stalk. . I am a little concerned for our leader.

they don't call us the city of fairs, festivals and carnivals for nothing..

Ladies, 
It has come to my attention that we have an incredible opportunity awaiting us.  As you know we ARE the city of Fairs, Festivals and Carnivals.  That is why they chose good ole Norman to be the city of choice for the filming of this movie.  What better place for "drug hallucination scenes" than some of our events?  Most importantly we have the "mother lode"  or "mecca" of events coming up.  You know it, let's say it together....... 4th of July at Reeves Park!  What better place to film one of these scenes??? Seriously, I just have a feeling they will be there.  So, I am calling out to all of you to get ready for this big event.  Ladies, it's time for your husbands to STOP shaving!!  In particular their backs.  We need facial hair and body hair in order to blend in with the locals that show up to celebrate in our "fair" city. (pun intended).  I know most of you have already stopped shaving anticipating the impending circus scene, so you should be fine. Ladies, I'm calling for you to pull out your matching cut off jean shorts, find that halter top, get the wife beaters.... it's time!  Start smoking, drinking (well, Mary you have been practicing already, so this is not directed at you), DON"T SHAVE, don't brush your teeth or hair.  Grab you grandchildren.... get them out there with nothing but a diaper, no shoes, no shirt, no sunscreen & for Gods sake give them a cigarette butt to chew on!!  ....  Come on ladies, you know what I'm talking about!  
And finially...  Mary, there is a tattoo shop on main street that will tattoo STEVEN in olde english right down your forearm!!! YOU CAN DO THIS!  It's for the cause.

Loyally,
Mary (the other one)

Note/disclaimer: I unfortunately won't be able to attend this big event as I will be in the Big Apple for the weekend.   The good news is, I will have the girls with me.  I will have them on the look out for any and all persons of fame, since I wouldn't recognize anyone anyway. We of course won't have any pictures since we are WAY too polite to ever speak to any of these people, but we will text you with any sightings.  Good Luck Ladies!





It's always nice to have a fellow non-recognizer in the group


Mary-

Have the time of your life!  It doesn't get any sweeter than being able to
be on such a great trip with your daughters!  Have fun and send me some
phone pics if you see anyone interesting---of course, I probably won't
know who they are!!!!!

Enjoy!

Chris


really Kathy? Switzerland? that comment barely merits a posting, but I will anyway..


Mary - I wish I could be there.  I am going to celebrate that great American holiday in Zurich, Switzerland!

and..... thus a blog was born.

Mary,

Try to fill Chris P in on the entire thread, if you have it.  Mine is so broken up, I don't think I can.   She really is ready to have a party or something.  It's hysterical, we cannot get a hold of this person (Melanie) and she would love us and have the time of her life ... plus be recognized for who SHE is, not just Antonio's wife.  We are so cool and yet, she cannot find us, nor we her.  A tragic comedic event, similar to a Shakesperean play.  Someone should make a movie ... WAIT!!!! Nick Casavettes!!!!

Love,
Mary  (your faithful servant)


Mary,
I'm on it!
Mary (the other one)


and.... thus a blog was born.

your flagging leader...

Girls,

We may have a plan.  Chris P has joined the group and has graciously accepted the idea of having a soiree at her home for Melanie. I have not discussed this with her after the several drinks we shared at a location not to be mentioned.  All we have to do is locate her (Melanie) or an address to send her an invite.  I think she will be thrilled to have some contemporaries to talk with and also some mild adoration from people who aren't just interested in Antonio.  I would like to see this come to pass as we do not have any idea how much longer she will remain here in our very hot (temperature) town.  I don't know who to tell to get on it, but I strongly suggest someone "GET ON IT"!!!

 Further, I have a little bit of a bone to pick with our Norman fellowship.  As everyone knows, etiquette has reached a new low in our lifetime with the appearance of the cell phone.  Never have so many people been so ill mannered with so little a piece of electronics, or whatever it is.  One cannot shop peacefully at Wal Mart without hearing about some illiterate nincompoop's life with her tatooed boyfriend or what sort of jockey shorts some sad individual is buying for their dirtbag husband.

  Yet!!!!! Melanie Griffith continues to appear time after time in our little (very stifling) town and these cell phone addicts who cannot stay off the gd phone while you and I are trying to have a peaceful mani pedi or peruse the shelves at Barnes and Noble, have suddenly been unable to text or call their (so called) friends and family to announce a siting!  I call this UNACCEPTABLE and am beginning to have a real fury against these people.  What the hell is going on??? 

Shannon, not meaning to call you out, come on, could you not have called or texted your "friends" while you were at Franchesca's????  I mean Becky, were your hands frozen????  Trudy, do you not go to the bathroom and call everyone you know?  Where is the fricking loyalty here???  I, for one, (as Mary -the other one- would say) would be calling and texting like a lunatic if I had a siting that looked like more than five minutes.  You folks are somewhat of a disappointment!!! 

On the one hand we are so grateful that you have seen the actress and can actually verify her presence ...  and how she smells.  On the other hand we are thinking ... why didn't they call???  It's a mixed emotion thing.  We are a little bit pissed off. Yes, granted, we are lazy and hot and cannot conceive of actually tracking this person or "persons" (we have no idea at this point) ourselves, yet we want to be included in the experience when someone actually has a viewing.  We feel we are owed this because we are the ones, presumably, who got the whole hysteria going ... Throw us a bone!!!  Call us, or call someone who can call us ... we are desperate here!  Just  a"Shout Out" to all those who are so caught up in their selfish lives that they forget to summon their elders or crazy people who want to know...

Your flagging leader,
Mary   

gotta love FB!!

Mary, This is so unfair. I get my nails done. Occasionally my hair cut. Nothing. Just nothing..... Becky is one lucky girl. We may just be trying too hard.
Mary (the other one)
Becky P
So I’m getting my hair done this morning and in walks Melanie Griffith… and I’m thinking  “did I wake up in Norman, Oklahoma today?”  I wonder who else gets their hair done here???
               Like  -  Comment:
Ashely A. : What?! Really
Becky P: Yes, for real! She was getting a manicure. So crazy to see her there!
Patti W. : ??????......  so did you ask her over for a  margarita? :)
Kim M. : Cool! Did you have a little small talk with Mel?
Becky P: Paitti and Kim, I swear she would have gone to lunch and margaritas if I had asked her.  She was just chatting away.  I still can’t believe she was at that little Salon!
David S.: I need to get you the email thread of Mary and some friends who have been pseudo - stalking everyone in the movie.  Shannon ran into Melanie a couple of days ago and said she’s really small.
Becky: Yes, she was small.  Where are they filming the movie?
Mary: OMG I hear she has been all over town.  Mary W. is gonna die!


Mary - Oh wow!!! Did Becky at least get her cell number so we can save some gas and stop driving around!!!!!! Glad to hear she is friendly. Crack up at Mary (the other one) and your emails. Love it! Thanks for update.
Mary Anne







she doesn't really hate you!

Friends,

Well, I am in mourning for my daughter, Claire, (who hates me).  Melanie Griffith finally came in to BCBG at Dillard's today and was waited on (we hope) gratiously by the BCBG employees.  However, Claire was not scheduled for the day and missed the viewing. She had been waiting with baited breath for weeks for this to occur and has been very unhappy about the sitings at Cayman's and The Webb, etc.  Very competitive and feeling that BCBG was not getting it's justified acknowledgement.  Well, it finally occurred and she was not there to witness the event.  So ... there is a lesson to be learned here.  And I hope you know what it is........?

Trying to keep the fever going,
Mary 


Mary,
Keep up the good work. We all need a little excitement in our lives.
Thanks, Janet


really.... The Hague?

Lest my Oklahoma friends think I'm purely lounging in Europe and not contributing to the cause,   diligent research is being conducted from this side of the pond, but alas I have come up with naught that has not already been reported.  

However, I do have a small bit of information that I have not seen divulged.  Heather Whalquist's sister Davanee is a young woman from Norman and was courted by Rob V for several years.  She now resides in California, originally going there in the service of the Cassavettes as nanny to their children.  I offer this information particularly to the offspring.       

Your Foreign Correspondent
Jamie
Reporting from The Hague, Netherlands


Jamie,

That was a terrific tidbit of information you managed to come up with all the way across the pond. It's all part of a piece, we just have to follow the thread. We will know more about this movie than the very actors themselves. Continue to let us know your thoughts. We are sad and very hot here. Hope you are happy and cool. On with the sleuthing!

Love,
Mare

POSTAL

Ladies!!!!!

This would be the info regarding Heather Wahlquist, whom I wrote to you about yesterday.  Apparently she is assuming the position of "STAR" of the movie "YELLOW" ... a drug addicted and screwed up individual (from her family life) ...  can anyone relate to this???? I thought not!  Therefore we will continue in our pursuit of the actors in this film even though we cannot in our wildest imagination conceive how they got to be so f----d up.  Heaven knows we all had fabulous childhoods, and would have no idea what would cause a person to go POSTAL!!!
Your even more exhausted and confused leader,
Mary 

http://blogs.indiewire.com/theplaylist/archives/first_images_synopsis_from_nick_cassavetes_ensemble_drama_yellow/#.TgQPeh_4ysw.email

what horse?

I agree that our charismatic leader, Mary, is very inspirational and 
passionate but please be advised I saw her riding a horse down 
Brookhaven Blvd with half her face painted blue like an over 
accessorized "braveheart" shouting "Melanie may run but she
can not hide  from us forever!"  I'm just saying, the scarf and the
spear was a little much  - your faithful follower, Sharon

Sharon, 

I cannot deny it nor add anything to it.  I am passionate about this whole shallow, Hollywood venture.  Anything can be asked of me ... you will soon witness the hairiness yourselves.  Prepare to be awestruck!  Riding a horse down Brookhaven Blvd. with half a blue face ... small potatoes!  I will be in the hallucinating scenes or die trying!

Your leader,
Mary

keeping each other strong.

Ladies,

Well, my daughter, Claire, tells me that Heather Walquist is either the star of the movie or the subject of the movie.  I could not get her to be more specific as she finds even talking to me to be repellent.  Heather is from OKC and is married to the director, Nick Cassavetes.  She is also the writer-producer, I think.  Anyway, we do not know her or anything about her, unless you have seen her in the various films, etc. my daughter claims she has been involved with.  Claire says that when the movie comes out she will be extremely famous and we will all be sorry we were chasing around looking for these other people.  She has also been in BCBG at Dillard's.

Signing off with exhaustion,
Mary



Mary,
I for one am so very proud of all the reporting you have done today. Clearly the days you took off have paid off many times over. I for one think you should be very proud of your sleuthing skills. I spoke to Shannon today and asked her to give us an up close and personal report on her encounter with the infamous Melanie. I believe the report is coming.
Stay strong your followers need you! 
Loyally
Mary (the other one) 

Thank you, Mary.  I am your humble servant. Will go at it again tomorrow.


Love,
Mary 

this is big time!

Ladies!!!

New set of castmembers.  No mention yet, of who is playing what, or exactly where it is all being filmed ... they continue to say only Oklahoma.  Riley Keough is Lisa Marie Presley's daughter who is also a model.  Gorgeous.  Yesterday, while sleuthing at On A Whim, I learned that they are shooting in Paul's Valley, Shawnee, OKC and another place I can't remember, but will let you know when I do.  It's another place 'out there' in the hinterlands.  Eyes open now for David Morse, Luke Wilson, Hank Azaria and Riley Keough ... as well as Sienna Miller, Ray Liotta and, of course, our sweet Melanie.  Look sharp and get out there even though it's a nauseating 100 degrees.  We owe it to ourselves because we have no lives and this is the greatest thing to come along in months.  I am, meanwhile, still trying to get hairier for a part in the hallucinating scenes.  Leaving the elephant rides to precious Sharon and Belinda, who will do us proud ... the cuties!!!!

Signing off,
Mary

OMG!

Mom - Just saw Melanie at Francescas in Norman. Sorry ladies but I froze. I was way too chicken to talk to her!! But, she smells really good and is tiny in real life. 

Shannon

I can't believe you actually saw Melanie at Francescas!  You deserve the sighting since you have been the most productive "P.I." on our team.  Perhaps our fearless leaders should offer you some type of award...I think a gift certificate from Caymans is in order.  Well done, Shannon, well done.  
sharon 


Shannon,

I am so sorry that I have been away from my post and could not be the first to CONGRATULATE! you on your actual viewing of our main stalkee and star, Melanie Griffith. Of course, you froze! You do not have the years of overcoming decorum that we, the old people, have learned in our lifetimes. Sometimes you just have to go for it ... I could bore you with my encounter with Diana Krall and Elvis Costello in a restaurant in NYC ... a story that causes my daughter, Hannah, to cringe with sickness and embarrassment to this very day. But I managed to overcome all squeamishness and actually get her to hug me by groveling up to her. That's what you can aspire to in the years to come.

In the meantime, we have to get on Sienna Miller, who I do not think must be here yet (or maybe ever). Wish we could get a feel for the storyline ... I'll check online to see if I can glean further information in that department.

Also, you can take a bit of a rest because you have fulfilled our wildest expectations ... I keep thinking that she, Melanie, will actually be seated somewhere for hours, so that we can get the phone tree going and everyone can get there and slowly walk past her while pretending to go to the bathroom. Or I will probably just go up to her and start babbling about how wonderful I think she is ... believe me this woman wants to be recognized a little bit and be admired for who SHE is, not just because she's married to Tony!!!! I can do that for her.

Again, Shannon, many thanks for sharing and getting in the game and we love you.

Mary

Being disowned.....

Glad to hear my daughter has the most up to date news! So sorry I had to hear it from Mary  since Shannon did not include me in on the email update. I guess my (almost) sighting of the truck on Hwy 9 was so embarrassing to the family that she removed me from her list. I will try to not disgrace the family again. I didn't get the picture attachment either so I guess I'll have to creep on her twitter page and see what I can find out. The things a mother has to do!

I hang my head in shame, but will continue trying.

Sadly,
Mary (the other one)

Okay fellows, I have been off duty due to various social engagements over the weekend and Father's Day ... I agree wholeheartedly Shannon has by far exceeded our wildest dreams in finding this information.  And many, many kudos for the Wayne Coyne info, which should have been provided by Carolyn  and proves that she is too tight-lipped to be on this list.  I have heard that he is extremely nice and friendly and am happy to have this verified for our dear Shannon ... who is so cool and deserves to be treated thus.  My sister, you may remember, claimed she thought they were filming on her street ... I thought she was "having a laugh (as Ricky Gervais would say), but no, it seems they have been in Nichol's Hills across from the park or in the park.  This is pathetic news compared to what we have just read, but Joycie and I are headed out today to find what we can to add to this riveting drama.
Keep at it and let's all try to outdo Shannon, whose level of detective work goes above and beyond anything we thought possible.
 Trying to get hairier.   Your leader Mary

elephants anyone?

Hey guys, I spotted a movie truck going south on highway 9 late this afternoon.  Ok - well I didn't actually see it myself, but Dave did and pointed it out to me.  So... they are still in town.  
Carry on...
the other Mary

Shannon - Finally!!!!    Something we can sink our teeth into...thank you!  (unlike another source who heard from someone else they thought they saw a passing movie truck - Mary).  Now about the "strange" casting calls for elephant riders and hairy women....I am not very hairy due to my Asian ancestry but I would be willing to ride an elephant (Belinda is game, as well).  Do I have to provide my own elephant; can I ride English style because straddling large animals makes my thighs look larger ?  I need just a few more details...can you twitter Mr. Flaming Lips for me?  Thank you for your very productive report, you have made my day.  
Sincerely,  Sharon "the elephant rider"! 




waxing? who waxes?

Okay, I think I have some solid information.

Travis works with a guy who is an amateur actor and has been attending casting
calls for the movie. He was chosen as an extra last Thursday
to eat dinner at Rococco's in OKC for a scene with Ray Liotta and
Heather Wahlquist.

Also, he said that there have been some strange
casting calls for bearded ladies, snake charmers, people who can ride
elephants...so if anyone is willing to skip their monthly (or
bi-monthly) waxing, they could be in Heather Wahlquist's hallucinations.

Also, Yesterday, I was on twitter and saw that Wayne
Coyne (the lead singer for The Flaming Lips) posted pictures of
Melanie and him shooting the film. I asked him where he was
filming and he directly messaged me back this morning to tell me that they
are/were in Pauls Valley. (P.S. I feel very cool that he messaged
me back...)
Oh, here is the picture. So it is true, she really does exist.


Hangin with Melanie Griffith on the set of Yellow.. She downloads Flaming Lips!!!!

Enjoy...
Shannon

basketball and gambling... whatever it takes.


So sorry team,

I have been "asleep at the wheel". I sent a few of the e-mails to Emily to see if she had any sightings or scoop from OKC. She reminded me that she told me she sat by the director at one of the playoff Thunder Games. Said he was very nice and filming in Norman at the Riverwind Casino-maybe other spots-not sure. She said they loved the playoff games-went to all of them - so at least the director, etc (maybe not the stars) have been in the area awhile. Maybe a swing by Riverwind to cool off and play a few slots might be helpful!! When my neighbor gets back from Tenn. I will definitely assign her to Riverwind since she is there almost daily and has great detective skills!! I apologize once again for being such a "movie star dud". This will be great therapy for me!

Connie


if Tony say it......

Way to go Moms!!

Mary - look at what great leadership and inspiration you provide. We are sacrificing our children (and other people's children) all for your cause. Have you thought of running for office? You have my vote and undying loyalty. Oh, we are looking for Melanie. I got off task for a moment. Sorry, Mary (the other one)
For you Mary- 
if Tony says it, it's gotta be true. Carry on....
Check out this video on YouTube:

Loyally,
The other Mary. 

Now that's some good detective work Mary S!   I'm still trying to pick up the trail here in Texas,....
Jules

now we're talking! Way to go Moms.

Mary -    You have offered up the highest and the best!  I have to pause here for a moment of silence.  No woman could have given more for the cause of this totally shallow venture.  I promise, I have both of my daughters working in different capacities for the mission. I just feel that somewhere, sometime, someplace we will see something!!!! I know that is a deep sentiment.  All I can say is that we must not falter or grow weary in our endeavor.  There will be something!  I literally have no clue what that will be ... but, as God is my witness, something will come of this.  Maybe just a "howdy" at the local Seven/Eleven ... we can only hope and continue always with optimism ... despite our children's total distain for everything we stand for and do.  Much love from your leader - Mary 

Mary 
Meredith has humbly offered her services to the call....she said she would put her friends on it as well.  All she wants is a little gas money and my credit card for the usual "P.I." expenses...I think that's reasonable.  She said she would stake out Cayman's all day if the job required such extremes.....wait a minute...."MEREDITH, LEAVE THE CREDIT CARD!".
Too late.  Oh well, it is worth it for the team and our fearless leaders," the Marys".


Your humble servant,  Sharon




Everyone,

Ok, having no daughters has put me at a great disadvantage in "Hunting Melanie"( which I think should be the title of Mary's new blog by the way). I didn't even think I was into celebrities, but now Melanie is consuming my every thought! I've got to see her, I've resorted to grabbing girls on the street to find out what they know, have they seen her.....where is she, where, where?

Signing off somewhere between Norman & Pauls Valley,
Belinda


Mary - I feel so "out of it"--I can't get out because my precious 4 year old Jack
is visiting me for a long weekend.  I thought at first I could use him as
a ploy but somehow I haven't ever thought of Melanie as that maternal.
And really, we can't go to her hangouts--they'd die if I took him to
Caymans for any length of time . . .Sally



You're with us in spirit Sally and that's all that really counts. 
Mary (the other one)

and.... slam.................


Okay, Sally, don't want to be too hard on you since we are BFFs forever ... but that is the lamest excuse I have heard thus far in terms of the stalking empire we have established here in YOUR hometown. Jules has unselfishly handed over her last "at home" child for what we are considering to be the "tour de force" of the whole movie, whereby K joins the entire cast in a show-stopping dance-a-thon. Mary (the other one) has made untold humiliating sacrifices (her children mock her) ... as well as myself. If you do not think that your grandson, Jack, is worthy of a cameo of some sort,  then I truly feel for your grandmotherly instincts. Melanie Griffiths has had a butload of children with her various spouses ... from Don Johnson to Antonio Banderos. Believe me, she is a soft touch in this department! I say get yourself and your grandson out to some Norman/Paul's Valley sites. Sitting at home playing Spider Man is not going to get it. Get him in the fricking car and hit the streets. Throw him out if you see something and act as if you had no idea that your adorable grandson was gifted enough to appear in the middle of their production.

Marching orders,
Mary

Mary.....What was I thinking?  Of course you're right--but he leaves tomorrow so
I'll be available for my best detective work.  Thanks--I needed that!   Sally

true leadership...



at this point I'm getting frustrated, so.....


Ok people!
 I have TWO kids on the prowl this weekend... anybody else willing to sacrifice their kids for the cause?
the other Mary. 




Okay Mary!  This is the spirit we want to see from our Norman girls!  Yes we old women are a bunch of no nothing farts who don't know our asses from a hole in the wall (your mother in particular), but you kids are the Bomb! ( If that is still an acceptable sentiment).   At any rate ... get going, get on it and hit whatever bars you have to between Paul's Valley and Edmond.  I know it's a tough job, but someone has to do it!  I mean beat the fricking bushes.  There are people out there who are whooping it up with these Hollywood folk ... some don't even know who they are ... some are your damn "socialites" who are offering cocktails and trips on the private jets.  We will not succumb to those suck ups!  We will find these people and take a damn gander at them whether they like it or not.  And, I say, they WILL like it.  We are nice people and we want our share of the little bit of Hollywood activity in our town that will take our minds off this revolting heat and ( I am sorry to say) our pathetic lives here in Tornado, Hail and Wind Storm Alley.  

All the best, and soldier on,
Mary 

children......




i am feeling a little better at this point..... so

Ok Mary I am on it. Shannon is at the lake this weekend so she can't mesmerize anyone until Monday. I will have her start practicing her hair flipping technique. If there's a will there's a way. Sally is in town for the a wedding & I am sure they will be hitting the bars and such, so she's on the lookout for Sienna Miller. Sally just reminded me of how badly I  suck at recognizing celebrities since I once shared an elevator with Isabella Rossili and didn't realize who she was until after she got off and I commented to the girls how striking she was. They knew right away of course - so we may have more luck thru the kids since they seem to be the only ones in the know anyway. 
Your loyal soldier - the other Mary. 

Ps - Shannon - if you could stop off in PV on the way home and check it out we would all appreciate it. Just saying. 
and the attack.....

Mom,  I have been to all these Norman establishments in the last week and have seen NO ONE that is famous. And yes mom, you are terrible at recognizing famous people, as well as getting their names correctly. Isabella Rossellini is a very famous person, but not so much Isabella Rosselli...I have told every person I know that lives within the okc metro of this movie and the men are salivating over the prospect of "running into" Sienna Miller. Brett , a person most likely to meet these people was literally hitting himself in the head last night just thinking about Ms Miller. I will casually stop through Pauls Valley to see if I can find this damn movie...I am now a girl on a mission. And so is every man between the ages of 18 and 85 that I have told. I mean come on people, Sienna Miller!! (stealing a line from Julie) 
signing off, Shannon 

I need a life...

Mary, 
How the hell does Melanie Griffith figure out the places to go in town in about two weeks and I've lived here for 35 years and still don't know where to go? If anyone actually has contact with her, ask her to make a list of "go to" places to pass along to the idiots with no apparent life like me. 
Go figure.....
Mary (the other one)

trying to make me feel better....

Settle down, Mary, 
we are trying to resolve that for you and actually get you a life.  First of all, I have two words for you ... PAUL'S VALLEY... supposedly where filming is occurring.
You may possibly be the first one (with your sharp as a tack, gorgeous daughter) to check out the action.  All she has to do is flip her hair around and act confused and they will probably cast her in the film.  And I am not kidding here.   We have to use every asset we have at hand.  I would take Claire, but she would probably want to sing something from "Les Miserables" and embarrass us ... as if we can't do that by ourselves!  Your task, this weekend and next week is to find the site or sites where we can begin gathering to annoy them ... even though we don't mean to.  They may have the weekend off ... And I say, more opportunity to find them around our, let's face it, SMALL TOWN!  We are not talking NYC here.  Action everyone!!!!!!!.   (That's if the "socialites" here haven't wisked them away for a massage in Arizona). 

Make me proud,
Mary 




news flash???

Mary
Newsflash! Just heard Melanie was in Salon Inferno , where Ashley works, for a nail fix! OMG she broke a nail! This must be a low budget film--no nail tech on staff!!! Is that enough exclamation points to show my excitement??!!!!!!!!!!!  Joyce


Everyone,
Kudos to Joycie for a huge piece of info!  This is what we are looking for girls!  The only issue is that the person who is actually spotting said stalkee must be cognizant enough to notify certain exclusive members of the stalk team.  That would be all of the above.  Maybe everyone wouldn't be able to make it, but a phone tree should at least begin.  Of course it goes without saying that we will be discreet, polite, nearly invisible in our attempts to get close-ups of the stalkee and whatever surgical procedures she may have pursued in her lifetime.  If not that, at least a casual siting whereby we all pretend to be heading into Jana's.  Carry on!
Mary

getting the kids involved.....

Very good info from the two Marys!   Two thumbs up.  Q reports that the film crew ate at interurban this weekend however she just reported this to me today.  After slapping her around a bit, I questioned her more closely.  Seems she didn't think it was a big deal, having NO IDEA who Melanie Griffith was.... Sad but true (did know Antonio banderas, but only as puss in boots voice in Shrek!)
Your reporter on the street, Jules
I'm going on location now to college station, they may be filming there...

and the response....

Okay, Julie, that was just below standard info from a person with the skills we know you possess.  And Q is just out of the tracking group.  I am embarrassed for you that your progeny has no curiosity about an entire crew of supposed movie makers in her restaurant.  K would have been in the movie by now!  I say get them to the campus cafeterias.
Not knowing the supposed actors is no excuse and I feel sorry for Q.  This is Norman, for heavens sake!!!! Get excited about a "foreigner" from anywhere ... especially if they have a crew of camera people around them.  We will be waiting to hear of any action at College Station ... one never knows how far these people will go to shop ... especially Melanie.

Carry on,
Mary

time for me to get involved...

Mary,
Why am I missing all this. Shan and I drove around town yesterday looking for any sign of anything! We failed big time!  Jules - why don't you know more? You always know about this stuff. Find where they are and knock on their door. Are they at embassy suites? Where are they eating?  Ugh.....
(The other) Mary 

Mary,

It's okay.  We know they are out there.  Kathy  from L V says they are going to be here for quite a while.  Melanie is taking Yoga at Kathy's studio behind the Sooner Theatre (place to stalk).  Melanie seems to be the out and about one, but Sienna Miler can just blend in with the younger people ...stalking for Shan.  Also Sienna drinks and Melanie is in recovery and can't party.  She is hip and cool and funky and unattached, as far as I can ascertain.  Wants to be where it's happening ... I don't think it's happening in Norman, but I could be wrong.  All the more reason to stay on the ball and get the people out there!!!!!  I wouldn't put it past some of the "younger, wealthier, exercise and facial surgery fanatics" (and you know who I mean) to be concocting little get togethers or fly-aways on their private planes.  Also heard that they are staying at the "*x#$%"  ...ewww.  Maybe just the crew, but heard they rented out the whole place.   That's all for today.  Keep on it, we will find something.  The filming sites have got to be somewhere nearby.
For now get to the Yoga studio 9:00 or 10:00 o'clock classes, campus bars and the "*x#$%".  

Signing off,
Mary 

more reliable reports


Mary, Melanie was at the Web yesterday -  bought stuff for herself and the movie. Babs

Mary,  heard the movie is call Yellow.  The stylist has been in Caymans as well as Melanie Griffith, yesterday.  Ray Liotta is in the movie and Elvis Presley's oldest granddaughter.     - Kathy

Good detective work Mary!  I'm packing my binoculars in  my car so I can be ready for a sighting. I saw they were at Northpark Mall today.  - Belinda



Gang,
OMG! Can't believe I am so hot!! I can't be out of my house for 15 minutes without passing out. Keep up the good work you guys! Let me know when they are somewhere I can sit down with a gin and tonic and watch unobserved in the air-conditoning.

a star is born...

Fellow trackers,

Hannah is getting the lowdown from Chris Friehofer, who is casting the film here in Norman.  If any of you recall, Hannah worked with him on various projects for several years.  He is emailing her information.  Will pass along whatever I can glean.  Sharon, Meghan  might know something, as she usually auditions for these things ... get on it!

Mare


this email concerns our friends fabulous daughter who some how makes in onto ALL the reality shows... she is very envious of the character "Becky" on Glee and I'm sure if the casting directors had met her first she would have taken over the show.

from her mother...
any call for someone with downs?  I may have someone.....


and so it goes....

I say get her to Chris Friehofer immediately! Of course they want someone with downs! Everyone does! She will likely have a fabulous cameo with Melanie, Sienna and Gena Rowlands ... no doubt dancing. All they have to do is see her and it's a no brainer ... she will take over the entire production and bring in Ty to help with the scenery. Carry on.

Your Leader, Mary

people are starting to respond...

Mary - Very interesting!  I saw a couple of guys serenading passing cars on the Main street median a couple of weeks ago.  They looked kinda cool-maybe some connection to the movie??? Connie


Connie, that is not reliable information.  Why didn't you stop?  Of course you had no idea at the time, so I forgive you.  Carry on!  Mary


Mary - will do better next time! Connie

now we are starting to get a little touchy...


 Gang, I am all about salking Melanie.    Sharon
          Sharon ... Salking is not stalking! Get it right and let's get on this! Mare
Mare, Just testing your alertness... U  passed.  Sharon 
I would think 'salking' melanie would have something to do with possibly giving her some kind of polio vaccine?  I'm not really into that myself, but, to each his own I suppose.    I do not judge....

day 2

we are starting to get a little "fired up" at this point....

Talked to the guy at The Beadery today and he said the crew are all over the place.  At the coffee shop on Gray Street and hanging out down around campus.  Apparently purchasing lots of artwork from the various coffee shops and restaurants (?) etc.  Melanie Griffith is doing Yoga with one of Steven's staff at the Yoga place on campus.  No sign of Sienna Miller that I can gather.  Also, no info on where the movie is being filmed.  Hannah is on it from NYC and says that the actual star of the film isn't here and is not someone we would readily know.  Who knows if this will go anywhere or just be thrown on the cutting room floor, as has happened numerous times ... anyway, still up for stalking if anyone has a clue as to where.  Let's get on it girls.  I'll take Melanie if she's the only one around!!!  Think we should drive around till we see some action???

Mary

still on day 1

This is it!  Sounds legitimate.  Let's hope we see something or someone! Love, Mary
(at this point we are all still rational, note the love)

reply to 1st sighting..

Mary,

Get some folks and get on this now!  Who the hell is this friend and where in the hell did she see Melanie Griffith????  We need solid information and some true detective work.  None of this, "We're too polite to ask where the heck you guys are staying and where the heck the movie is being filmed".  I suspect the bed and breakfast by the Library and also, many of the crew are out at the coffee shops and restaurants around campus.
Melanie is obviously hitting the shops all over town as well as doing Yoga.  We haven't heard a snippit about Sienna Miller, but she's probably dying from the heat and withdrawal from NYC and London. Hannah says the star is someone we probably don't know and isn't here, so this may all be for nothing ... or it's some background or flashback stuff.  Who knows?  Let your imagination soar.   On it, peeps!!!

Mare  

follow up to day 1

this is my reply to the first email...


one of my daughters friends  tweeted that she waited on Antonio banderias' wife today - Melanie Griffith. Said she was nice. Doesn't sound like she knows who she is.
          here is her tweet...

met and helped Antonio Banderas' wife, Melanie Griffith, at Cayman's today :) She liked what I picked out for her

day one..

This is the first email I received concerning the finding Melanie quest....  there are many more to follow.  I think they are humorous, and fun so I am sharing them with all of you...  This one is from our leader... Mary.  ( not me, for I am the other one).


Guys,

Supposedly there is a movie called "Yellow" being filmed in our town, starring Melanie Griffith and Sienna Miller.  The costumer is buying tons of clothes at BCBG in Dillard's, where Claire is the manager.  Do you think this is a hoax or true?  I would like to find out if it's true and, if so, stalk the actors involved.  You people with contacts need to find out (Jeanne, Carolyn, Tracy, et al).  Also, the producer is supposedly from our state and female.  Get on it you guys!

Mary
