NASDAQ welcomes Alexander Skarsgard

Some photos are so great they deserve their own post. The photograph below was taken by brushfirefairy on twitter. As you can see from her posts she set out to meet Alex as part of her “bucket list”. Here at Eric and Sookie headquarters we had our fingers and toes crossed for her since she let us know of her mission. So a great big Eric Northman sized congratulations Michelle and thank you for sharing this fantastic picture with everyone.

Creating Change: One BloodSucker at a Time

And a big thumbs up to NASDAQ for making our viking so welcome on Wall Street in such a BIG way! Now if that is not giving a guy superstar status I’d like to see what is.

Alexander Skarsgard at the Weinstein Company’s Golden Globe Party

Not content with sexing up the HBO Golden Globes Aftershow Party, our favorite viking hightailed it the Beverley Hilton Hotel to hang out and provide us all with some more drool-worthy pictures.

And a big, fat thank you to Erika for letting me post some more pics from last night. Sometimes too much Skarsporn is just not enough!

Kristin Bauer van Straten’s Bloody Birthday Charity Drive

Once Upon A Time…on November 26, 1973, a little girl was born – who eventually became a brilliant actress. This little girl loved animals and music. She loved to help animals because they are defenseless, can’t speak for themselves and all they ever want or need is some TLC. This little girl grew up to be Kristin Bauer van Straten, who plays Pam on True Blood!

In honor of her birthday, our good friends over at True Blood Fan Source and Eric Northman.net came up with the idea to celebrate Kristin’s birthday, by donating funds to a charity of her choice! What’s a better gift to give someone who is so committed and caring about her causes, than to give something back to something she cares about most?

We, here at Eric & Sookie Lovers – along with other great sites (besides the two mentioned above); KristinBauer.net, SkarsgardFans.com, A-Skarsgard.com, Allan Hyde News.com and Kristin Bauer Fans are supporting this cause – which is to help spread the word about this charity drive!

Kristin would like us to make our birthday donations to The Amanda Foundation! The Amanda Foundation would benefit tremendously from any funds that we raise. The Amanda Foundation (for those who don’t know), rescues dogs and cats from city facilities in Los Angeles and keeps them until they can find homes for them with new families.

The goal of this charity event is to raise $5,000 from October 26 and end on Kristin’s birthday, November 26th. To encourage you to donate, we’ve arranged to give away some fabulous prizes!

Here are the list of prizes;

  • Kristin (herself) has graciously donated autographs and copies of her husband Abri van Straten’s fabulous CD “Sunlight and Shadows” for three lucky donors.

(I don’t know about you…but if Kristin is donating…so should you!)

  • VMODA is donating a pair of ReVamp Earbuds as well as a pair of V-80 headphones for two donors!
  • FMCG Manufacturing will be donating two cases of Tru Blood; one glass and one plastic that will be split up for several winners to share.
  • HoneyCat Cosmetics will also be giving away two sets of their vampire beauty products which will consist of a Blood Sudz Shower Gel, Heme Dream Pomegranate Bath Fizzy, and Don’t “B” Negative Body Scrub!

Check out the prizes below!

Tru Blood:  FMCG Manufacturing and HBO, Inc.
True Blood Headphones: V-MODA
Sunlight and Shadows: Abri van Straten
HoneyCat Products: HoneyCat Cosmetics

This is how it works:

  • For every $10 you donate, you’ll get one entry into the giveaway and for every $20 you donate, you’ll get three entries. This will go on all the way through November 26th, Kristin’s birthday! Starting October 26,  fans will be able to enter our giveaway for the Amanda Foundation using the Paypal Button to the left on the home page, the button at the bottom of this post, or on any of the participating sites listed above.

As you can see,  there are many prizes so there are multiple chances for people to win! And just in case you’re not convinced yet, at the end of the donation period we will sign the names of EVERYONE who has donated to one giant birthday card and give it to Kristin to remember this birthday!

We’re celebrating Kristin for an entire month in honor of all the good things that she does on a daily basis. We think she deserves it, don’t you?

Please consider donating! It’s for a very worthy cause, you have a chance to win some pretty cool stuff, and Kristin will have a giant card telling her just how great her fans are!

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me at: erika@ericandsookielovers.com

Donate here: ($10 increments)

How about a little bit of competition? I want to see us raise as much money as we do for Alexander Skarsgard’s birthday! I think we can do it, don’t you?

Please pass this on to everyone you know!

Thanks Eric & Sookie Lovers!

Backstage At PaleyFest

Hey Eric & Sookie Lovers! :)

Inside True Blood Blog has posted some interesting info from backstage at PaleyFest! :D

Here’s just a little hint…

Overheard in the Green Room:
While the clip reel played for the PaleyFest audience, the cast and their guests huddled backstage to watch on a little screen of their own.  When they showed clips of Eric with his long hair from season 1, another cast member turned to Alexander Skarsgard and said, “You miss the wig, right?”  Everyone laughed, knowing he does not miss the wig.

:lol:   I wonder who asked him that question? ;) Any ideas?

Tonight’s the Night: PaleyFest 2011

Hey Eric & Sookie Lovers! :)

Tonight at 7pm, PST; is when Alan Ball and the cast of True Blood hit the stage at PaleyFest 2011! :D

Gianna, from the Inside True Blood Blog interviewed Kristen Bauer von Straten (Pam)and this is what she had to say:

I grabbed a few minutes on set today with Kristin to see if she had any PaleyFest plans.  Of course the first thought that came to her mind was “What am I going to wear?” But once she got that out of her system, she was mostly excited to celebrate the success of the show. “I’ve heard it’s rare that a show is asked back twice.  And I love when we get the whole cast together. It’s always fun at our table reads, but with this panel, it’s amazing and different to see the fans and hear their reactions. When we’re on set, it’s like we’re in a little Petri dish.  It’s fun to get out there and see how it lands.” It’s true, when you’re in the thick of production, it can be hard to picture the final product and how it will be received.  But Kristin’s biggest fear?  “I hope I don’t say anything stupid!”

If you are on Twitter – you can follow @TrueBloodHBO, who will be live tweeting from the event!

If you’re not on Twitter – don’t worry, you can follow along with those at PaleyFest by clicking this link: Paley Center, who will have live updates posted on this page!

Or, if you would like to discuss what’s happening at PaleyFest with other fans as it’s happening – please join in the live blog discussion over at the sookieverseblog!

Hope there’s lots of good information and spoilers for Season 4 spilled! ;) Have fun!
