Tungsten, one of the users from our forums, has put together a snazzy interactive fan map. Each pin on the map represents a fan that has asked to be added to the map. You too can get added, and see additional stats by visiting the map’s forum thread.

Edit: If you leave your city or region as well as country in the thread, Tungsten can place the pin without putting it in the center of the country.

Lykaon and I like the map so much, we’ve decided to give it a permanent home on the main site. So, to see updates to the map as more people are added, you can visit it on it’s new page.

As if you haven’t gotten enough of Yvonne Strahovski at the New York Comic Con this past weekend, I’ve made a wallpaper dedicated to the event.

(I promise — the NYCC avalanche of pics & news is almost over — just in time for Chuck Vs. the Suburbs next week!)

This one isn’t too fancy, but it captures some of Yvonne’s cuter facial expressions of the panel.  And, of course, there was no way to keep Strahotski Bear out of the shots.

You can check out the Wallpapers Page for various resolutions for your desktop pleasure.

If you have any works of art involving Yvonne Strahovski, send it to us at submissions@strahotski.com!

Enjoy!

I know we already have 40 pics in our New York Comic Con Gallery, but I’ve just added 10 more.  These are excellent close-ups taken by Eric M. Chu.

We had the opportunity to meet Eric while waiting in line for the panel; and how fortuitous for us to meet a professional photographer!  His camera was bigger than my head.

You can check out the first page of the gallery for the other eight.  They’re all worth a look.  It’s not like we needed more proof that Yvonne Strahovski is gorgeous; but these new pictures make the case yet again.

Enjoy!

I’ve added 5 more photos to the New York Comic Con gallery courtesy of Ross over at rossmedia.com.  He got some excellent shots of Yvonne reacting to the bear.

After she caught it Fedak caught it and gave it to her, she showed it to Josh Schwartz and these pictures capture that moment.  Yet again, it’s good to see an angle that I couldn’t see and an exchange that I was too freaked out to take in!

Also, I haven’t had an opportunity to mention it elsewhere given all the Yvonne news, but Josh Schwartz and Chris Fedak were also awesome, funny dudes.  Chuck (and by extension the career of our favorite girl) is in good hands.

There will probably be more NYCC photos trickling in over the next few days.  Hope you guys don’t mind.

Enjoy!

So we’ve talked about how beautiful she was, and we’ve talked about the Strahotski Bear.

And if you’ve been in our forums, we’ve talked circles about all of the juicy information about Chuck from the panel.

But the one thing I feel like I haven’t really conveyed are my impressions of Ms. Strahovski from the NYC Comic Con Panel.

First off, I want to say that I’m incredibly grateful to Yvonne for how perfectly gracious she was to not only me, but all the fans who attended the panel.

She was a real trooper, and she took everything in stride.  She is clearly a first-class lady.

I know that I’m not a complete weirdo, but she doesn’t know that and for her to give me (and the rest of her fans) the benefit of the doubt shows a real solid side of her personality that shows how grounded she really is.

Unlike on Chuck, Ms. Strahovski had the opportunity to smile a lot at the panel, and her smile is absolutely infectious.  I’m not just talking about beauty here, but just the ability to draw people in with that smile.

Also, I can’t explain enough how radiant Yvonne is.  And again, I’m not just talking about beauty.  She sparkles; she lights up the room.  It is hard to not just stare at her because she is just that kind of star.

But all of that aside, the best impression I got of Yvonne is that she’s just a person.  A normal, fun-loving person who cares about her fans and is extremely gung-ho about her work.

We may all know that she is far more beautiful than most human beings, but I’m not sure she knows that — and perhaps that is what makes her most beautiful of all.

Yvonne Strahovski seems to be having a ball being a star, and I for one think she deserves all of the glory and happiness that this life can give her.  I hope she becomes a mainstay of Hollywood for decades to come.
