Today was another charity event for the Ken-Mar Rescue, a dog rescue organization that our own Ms. Yvonne Strahovski is heavily invested in.

Along with some other celebs, Yvonne was on hand for the fans to meet, with some of our own community in attendance. Sabi from the Forums, and Yvonne’s biggest fan, Bailey, were all there to chat with Ms. Strahovski.

Fans got a chance to talk to Ms. Strahovski about the site and we’re pleased to say that she approves of us! She had nothing but good things to say about the community, so it’s good to know that she loves us as much as we love her.

Check out the forums for discussion on the event, and if you were in attendance — send us your photos at submissions@strahotski.com.

More importantly, however, keep in mind the point of the charity event.  There are a lot of dogs without homes out there or in really poor situations.  If you can’t adopt a dog, consider donating to a charity like Ken-Mar.

For those keeping up, Starfury’s T2 Convention was this weekend in London.  It’s a sci-fi convention that brought together actors from a few different series, most noticeably for us — Chuck.

Originally, T2 was the hot topic of European fans of Yvonne Strahovski.  She was scheduled to appear and a few people from our forums banded together to buy some Strahotski.com gear and make an appearance.

Unfortunately, Yvonne’s off filming The Killer Elite and had to cancel.  No ill will towards her, of course.  I think we all can’t wait for her to become the movie star that she should be!

The lack of Yvonne Strahovski did not deter her fans, however.  They still showed up in their Strahovski best and made a splash at the show.  Many of the actors commented on their shirts, and I’m told that Adam Baldwin even mentioned Strahotski.com in a Q&A.

Julia Ling was asked to step in for Yvonne Strahovski at the last minute and I’m told that she didn’t disappoint.  Our own Strahotski Crew was lucky enough to win some raffle tickets for a meet’n'greet with Ms. Ling.  Though it comes as no surprise, Julia is apparently awesome and won the hearts of all manner of convention goer.

Since kroblues from our forums was wearing one of our “Got Strahovski?” shirts, Ms. Ling signed an autograph for him, etched with “Got Ling?”.  Inspired by her suggestion, I added a shirt to the store just for her and I’m told she thinks it was a great change to the shirt design.

Adam Baldwin is also said to have been great fun, and everyone seemed pleasantly surprised at how funny Bonita Friedericy and her husband, Phlox… I mean John Billingsley… was.  Apparently, some convention goers even got to watch a soccer game at the same pub as Mark Sheppard.

All in all, it sounds like it was an amazing time.  Though we all wish Yvonne Strahovski could have been there, her fans were not deterred and showed up in force to show both their love for Chuck and their love for Ms. Strahovski herself.

I am also told there was much squeeing to be had.  If you want more stories and pictures directly from the convention goers, check out the forum topic on the subject.

With both Chuck Fest and the NBC Press Tour Party happening this past week, we’ve gotten a ton of new photos featuring Yvonne Strahovski in a beautiful white dress.

Though there are photos bouncing around the net from both events, I’m happy to have received permission from Jon  of Joits Photography to host some of his excellent photos of Chuck Fest up in our gallery.  It’s always great to get some professional quality photos for the site.

But it doesn’t end there.  The white dress was so stunning, that I figured it certainly deserved it’s own wallpaper.  So I’ve whipped that up and added an 11th wallpaper to our Official Strahotski.com collection.

It’s been a while, so hopefully this satiates the thirst for more wallpapers.  Be sure to go to the Wallpaper gallery to pick the right size image for your desktop for maximum Yvonne Strahovski beauty.

There’s also a new random sidebar image featuring the white dress that you should see in time as it comes up in the rotation.

Consider yourself an artist?  We’d love to receive fan-created sidebar images!  To get started, download the template here, create your own image and then email it to submissions@strahotski.com.

Enjoy!

Well it’s been a crazy week in the Yvonne Strahovski fan-world so I thought it might be useful to make a post rounding up all that’s been going on in the world.

With so many screen caps and reviews scrolling by, the front page just can’t hold it all!

We still have a few days before the next episode so there’s still time to go back and comment on the reviews and caps for each episode.

Yvonne wins E! Online’s Girl On Top Poll

With a lot of effort and determination, Yvonne Strahovski fans managed to pull out a narrow victory over Smallville’s Allison Mack.  The forums were alight with fervor over getting the win and the dedication paid off.

This particular win is perhaps a tad bit more poignant than some online polls because Yvonne Strahovski and Adam Baldwin both campaigned for Yvonne.

Little Bailey’s Strahovski Showdown

Here at Strahotski.com, we’re fans of Bailey who managed to catch Yvonne Strahovski’s eye with her awesome Sarah Walker costume which led to some autographed gear for Bailey.

That wasn’t the end of the story, though!  Turns out Bailey got a chance to attend ChuckFest where she met Yvonne Strahovski.  Bailey shared a nice video of the meet-up on her Twitter account.

NBC Press Tour Party

To promote Chuck, Yvonne attended the NBC Press Tour Party.  A lot of great pictures have poured in over the days of Yvonne in her beautiful white dress.

You can check a lot of those out in our forums, mostly thanks to bzzg and her mad photo finding skills.

Chuck Season 3

If you’re at all visiting this site, then surely you already know that Chuck Season 3 premiered this week with astounding numbers.

To help recap the fun that was the season 3 premiere, here are some quick links to all of Strahotski.com’s coverage:

• Review | Screen Caps | Music — Chuck Versus the Pink Slip
• Review | Screen Caps | Music — Chuck Versus the Three Words
• Review | Screen Caps | Music — Chuck Versus the Angel de la Muerte

Whew.  I don’t know if that’s all of the Yvonne news for the week, but I think it should cover the highlights.  At the very least it should keep you busy until next week’s episode , Chuck Versus Operation Awesome.

What do you guys think?  Good week?
