So I was talking to my pal Cookie the other day, and we were discussing the FABULOUS, GLAMOROUS, prolific Jackie Collins and her books. (By the way, she has a new one out, Goddess of Vengeance.) And we came up with WWLD? (That’s What Would Lucky Do? In case you think you’re too good for JC’s books.)
A couple of days later I was at work and thought if we had all the Lucky books I might read them all in a row. It sounded like a fun thing to do. But I didn’t know what order they were in so I looked it up on the googletube.
 
An aside: googletube is what The First Ladies and I call the internet. Sometimes it gets shortened to goobtube.
 
Back to the story: So I goobtube the Lucky books and I’m sent straight to JC’s FAQ page of her website. The first question is “How do I get an autograph?” and I’m all, Jeez, that’s the first question? That stinks. It’s like asking, “How can you give me even more of you?” but whatever, I was in a bad mood.
I find the Lucky List and since some of them are kinda older books we don’t have them at our ‘brary. I was kinda bummed but moved on with my day. But then I thought back to that autograph. So I went back and and read about it and turns out, all you have to do to get an autograph is fill out a form with your address. It’s free. It’s her way of thanking her fans. That just made her all the more fabulous to me.
I didn’t really want an autograph. I mean, I did, but I didn’t know what I’d do with it. I figured it was just a stamped picture or something. But then I noticed there was a field marked “make autograph to” (or something, I forget the wording) and I immediately thought of Cookie. So I put her name down. And BOOSH, four weeks later I got it in the mail.
 
I hope Cookie puts it in her office and all of her coworkers see it and are all, “When did you meet Jackie Collins?!” and she’ll be all, “Oh, that? Jackie and I are like THIS.” and she holds up her crossed fingers.
