welovehbc: 25th November 2016 I never ever thought that I would get the chance to meet Helena Bonham Carter, the woman who has been apart of my life for as long as I can remember - the person who was the light in my dark days and helped build my confidence and told me that it was ok to be exactly that - me. I am in endless debt to this beautiful soul, how could you possibly reduce all of this admiration and gratefulness into words? ‘A Poem for Every Night of The Year’ was an event that she wasn’t due to go to, my friends and I literally asked the woman before it was due to start and she said no but ‘Helen McCrory is due to be here.’ so we borrowed Helena’s philosophy of ‘fuck it’ and decided to go (and thank god we did). During the show every now and then you could hear this dirty cackle that sounded exactly like Helena’s but I just brushed it off, told myself that I was hearing things because Helena isn’t here! (they even read a poem by Tim Burton that was probably about her and the tilena feels hit me but anyway) I was phoning my friend after the event to find out where she was and when I did she just said ‘Helena is here!’ I can’t even begin to describe what my stomach did! I’m sure that you can imagine. We saw Helena with her mum Elena (who was so adorable that fluffy hat she always wears) and eventually after the paparazzi she sat down to sign the poetry book being sold. Her glasses had slid down her nose because they were too loose and she had two drinks on the go (shock). People wouldn’t stop pushing it and I’m talking about grown adults here! when we eventually got to the front of the queue she stood and apologised, saying that she had dinner reservations with her mum and had to go. We told her that she was the reason why we had met and pleaded for one group photo. Her little brows furrowed at that and she agreed after saying that we need to ‘find good lighting’. She kept hitting the small table she had been sat at because she couldn’t get out, basically, she was squashed between a row of tables and chairs and it was hilarious. AND SHE IS SO SMALL! SO SO TINY! and I’m not just talking about height because I to am 5″3 but I just wanted to roll her up in a ball and take her home. Talking to Helena was the most surreal and she is so so so breathtakingly beautiful - ethereal. The photos and interviews don’t do her any justice. When you talk to her she really listens, she cares. And when she looks at you, she makes you feel as if you’re the only person in the room, you’re the only one that matters. We had a group photo and I was right next to her, my arm was around her waist and I was practically holding her up because she had squatted down and was saying how she must ‘look like a midget’ *cue filthy laugh* She had to go then, so we thanked and thanked her a million times as she disappeared into the lift with the brightest smile and waved to us. I wish that I could relive these moments over and over again, I can honestly say that they have been the best of my life. Thank you, Helena. For everything. This is truly beautiful. I’m so happy for you sweetie! I think we can all relate with how much she has helped us all personally. A light in many peoples lives. Precious woman. -- source link
