It's f-----g hot here!

Everyone-
Had a facial today with Kathy at Le Visage.  Yes, she gave Melanie a facial and yes, Kathy's husband, Noel, gave Melanie a massage.  Kathy said they talked about kids and daily life, although at one point Melanie said "It is f-----g hot here!"  And who can blame her. Noel said her butt is as big as, approximately, a handspan ... she is barely a zero.  He said giving her a massage was weird because all of her bones were "right there".  He is not starstruck, so just saying.  All of the crew and cast have been there, including Heather Wahlquist.  I have pumped as much as I can.  Really, these are just regular people who happen to be actors.  I just wanted to lay eyes on one or two.  Kathy also mentioned that the pedicure Melanie got at Le Vie or whatever it's called left a hair in her nail polish ... ewwwww!  Kathy wanted to correct it but Melanie was so exhausted from her work day and was leaving the next day so she declined and decided to wait until she got home.  SO EMBARRASSING FOR US!!!!!!!

Mary P.W.  Just trying to keep you updated.

Mary,
I must agree on the comments below. It is f-----g hot here!  I can't believe after an entire month of crazy stalking that we never got a peek at any of the stars (well, except for Shannon's sighting). It sounds like Heather W. must have just slid back into her Okie ways and blended in. Mary, you do win the leadership award...job well done my friend. You gave us something to look forward to during the heat wave of the century. You got us out and about when otherwise we might have stayed home drinking who knows what to keep from melting. 
It is disturbing that sweet Melanie had to go home with a less than perfect pedicure, maybe she didn't know all the fab places to go in Norman after all. 
Maybe we could start a letter campaign to get some other star to visit.  Just a thought.
Until next time,
Mary (the other one)

Mary,
Seriously? A hair in her toenail? Whose? Add that to the heat factor and
I'm doubtful she'll be back any time soon.  I would echo her remark about the heat were I less of a lady.  Did anyone explain to her the historical significance of the triple digits for so many days?  I mean we are breaking records here--shouldn't that count for something?
Joyce

Mary, 
Many leaders would have lost their will to lead after such an exhausting and some what fruitless "salking of Melanie" campaign...and yet you persevere.  Thank you for never, ever giving up; you are an inspiration to us all. And yes, Melanie, it is "f----g (I would prefer to use the word "frapping") hot in Oklahoma".  
Your humble minion, sharon

Mary,
Ok, I now award this my favorite post regard the "salking of melanie".  I think the hair in the nail polish is what sealed it for me.  Just so, oh, I don't know, so oklahoma! Yip i ki oh ki ay!  Oklahoma...OK!
slightly embarrassed that I didn't do my part,
jules
 

staking out marriott

Mary,
I am going to stake out the Marriott.  Can't believe I didn't do it before.  Guess I had convinced myself that Melanie could not be staying there.  Well,  fool me once!!! as they say.  I will be there 9:00 to 9:00 from this day forward.  I will see a celebrity or die trying.

Your slowly going insane leader,
Mary


Mary
The good news is football starts soon, maybe we could find somebody to stalk associated with the team. I know it is a huge stretch... but hey. 
Hang in there,
Mary (too)

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.
Mary. (the other one)

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!

 

Kathy 

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

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
