Have You Ever Been Starstruck By an Oiler?

I definitely was yesterday when I went to the Jason Smith/Steve Staios (filling in for our quickly recovering Ryan Smyth) autograph signing. I'm embarassed to admit that I made sure to try to look my best beforehand - my most compliment-getting pair of jeans, carefully applied glossy lipstick. It was like getting ready for a date...*sigh* I wish. I have been fortunate enough before to have met Steve by chance once before and was hoping to make a better impression this time. To actually have the guts to chat him up.

Well, it turns out, I was trembling like a leaf the entire time and I managed to mutter a few words of adoration that I'm not even sure he heard. Yup, I was as smooth as a week-old playoff beard. And it's not like he's intimidating at all either. He always seems to be so sweet. I actually think Jason Smith is more intimidating to speak with. It's just the whole "man of my dreams" and his mindblowing hotness that got to me. Steve looked like he was enjoying his time there a lot more than Jason was. Here are some visuals of the event.
