Robbie Motter, Sue Lopez and Fannie Green on a recent Cruise

Sue Lopez, Robbie Motter, June Davidson, Cordy Alford, Paula Constantino, Fannie Green and Carol Pilkington on a recent Carnival Cruise.

NAFE/For You members showed up at the 59th Prime Time Emmy Awards at the Shrine Auditorium this past Sunday and had a great time and all got to sit next to some pretty dynamic television stars. The entertainment of the Jersey Boys and Tony Bennett was fantastic.

Before leaving for the Shrine all the 315 Seat Fillers had to meet at the Pickwick Hotel and Gardens at 11:00 am where the head of the Seat Fillers for the Emmy's and Oscars, John Borja, gave us a little party with lunch and even brought in a band to entertain us.

It was great,as we got to meet new people and network, as well as reconnect with others we have met over the years of doing this. For Fannie, Gisella and Robbie this was our 8th year and for Natasha her Second Year and for Sue and Tamara their first year.

Each year NAFE has been represented at this event and at the Creative Emmy's and the Oscars as well. We always try and get more people to apply so they can get in, in fact a week before we had others at the Creative Emmy's/ Showing up at that event was June Davidson, Director of Pasadena For You/NAFE network Sheila Long and her husband from Corona For You/NAFE network, Ernestine Branch past San Bernardino For You/NAFE Director Fannie, Gisella, and we were all amazed how far some of the seat fillers come from to be seat fillers, we met two gals from NJ, some people from NY, Canada, Wisconsin, Iowa, NM and other parts of the country and one gal from Dallas said this was her 17th year she flew in. I love doing it but not sure if I lived far I would spend the money to fly in for it, especially since I never watch TV and really have no clue who most of the stars are.It's pretty funny when Fannie and I are at the Oscars as we both sometimes have no clue who everyone is and are always glad when someone is near us that knows everyone. We "SHOW UP" because it's fun and we meet others as well.

But "SHOWING UP" is fun and you never know what might happen. Showing Up to me is "like a treasure map, you never know what the treasure will be." Last year at the Oscars I was in the background when they were taking all the stars photos of their gowns and my picture in the background ended up in People and Star magazine and the year before at the Oscars Fannie got her Boa in People Magazine. We have met wonderful people and always had a great time and also have recruited new NAFE/For You members.

Being a seat filler you sit right with the stars and many times you might even end up right in the front row, this year we all got to sit by several amazing television stars, and because we sit where the stars do, we all had fantastic seats to see what was happening. This year also we did not have to move, as much, but the good thing, every time you move you are next to someone else who is a star.

We all always love dressing up, so being a Seat Filler allows you to do that as well. It also gives us permission to buy gowns so we can be ready if we get called, otherwise I am sure I would not own any gowns.

So lets see what next event we can "SHOW UP" at !
