2010 Ya Ya Sisters STALKERS

You've heard about them before -- the "STALKERS". I cannot remember what year it happened...but here was the beginning.

Mary Mulari and I were doing our little "Ya Ya Sister Act" at Expo and some extra sessions had been added. During our third show -- I noticed two smiling women in the first row...and it suddenly hit me that they'd been in both earlier sessions...so I said, "hey -- weren't you here before?" They grinned and said, "we come to every Ya Ya Show".
Mary & I were both stunned...I asked, "you know we do the same show every time, right?" And their reply was, "Oh, no it isn't! It's always different!"

That's when I started calling them "stalkers"...the name that has stuck with them for years now...

And the rest, as they say -- is history!! Chris and Judy have been sitting in the front row of every show we've ever done in Puyallup. Their story is that the two of them DRIVE to Expo from their homes in Oregon. They come for ALL FOUR DAYS -- and they keep EXTENSIVE NOTES about each and every class they take.

After an absence of two years -- Mary & I were exited to be doing the Ya Ya Show for the 2010 Friday Night LIVE event...and, of course, we were delighted that Judy and Chris got tickets. But we were NOT EXPECTING THEM TO COME IN COSTUME...

Dressed like the stalkers they are -- their Blues Brothers outfits were quite the hit in the audience...




We brought them on stage -- where they revealed their special renditions of Mary Mulari's apron pattern...


THEY ARE AMAZING...

AND -- they plan their outfits for every single day of the show. Here they are on SUNDAY -- AT THE PINK & RED CHARITY EVENT...

This is what Expo is all about...women friends, getting together with other women, to embrace and enjoy this hobby we love. THANK YOU YA YA STALKERS...you always play our game, you celebrate with us, you sew your garments, you attend our classes, you come every single day of the show and YOU DO NOT MISS A MINUTE of fun.

YOU BOTH BRING IT...AND WE LOVE YOU FOR IT!!

P.S. - Recently, both Mary and I received a package in the mail! YES -- A GIFT FROM OUR FAVORITE STALKERS....Oh My...They went to a lot of time and trouble to actually PRINT a picture of the Ya Yas and the Stalkers, then FRAME it -- then, most remarkably -- SEND it via snail mail to us. You two are amazing. SOOOO much fun...

THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU...
