When times are slow, you can always count on the Yvonne Strahovski fan community to come through with some great user-created artwork!
Reader Sus has done just that with three new wallpapers featuring our favorite Australian Super Spy.
Excellent additions to our fan wallpaper gallery to be sure! If you have any user-created artwork you’d like us to throw in our gallery, email us at submissions@strahotski.com.
Forget the photos you’ve seen and the episodes on TV. Yvonne is absolutely stunning up close in person. Absolutely stunning. But I do have very, VERY disappointing news. I didn’t get the chance to snag an autograph OR a picture. Once the panel wrapped, she signed autographs for a good 5 minutes or so then was escorted out of the Cinerama Dome. When I went over to ask for an autograph or picture, she walked to the other side of the stage, so I made way over to her side, and her bodyguards (or agents?) were telling everyone that there would be no more signings from her or pictures, and off she went. Talk about breaking my heart haha.
I didn’t write anything down, but I remember quite a bit of it to give you a juicy bit of info. Again, and this can’t be said enough, Yvonne was absolutely stunning. The members in attendance were Josh Schwartz (Cocreator/Executive producer), Chris Fedak (Cocreator/Executive Producer), McG (Executive Producer), Zachary Levi, Yvonne Strahotvski, Joshua Gomez, Ryan McPartlin, Adam Baldwin, Vik Sahay, Julia Ling, Mark Christopher Lawrence, and Scott Krinsky. Sarah Lancaster was ill and couldn’t make it.
They started the night off with “Chuck versus the Montage” because well, a strike bogged any chances of a new episode. The cast was then introduced (I was the only one to give Yvonne a standing ovation), and questions and hilarity ensued. Zach and Josh are so funny together as it is, but in person as well, they bounce off each other like bouncy walls. It was incredibly funny watching these two go on and on about video games, Godzilla vs. (I forgot the name, but he can multiply himself!!), and more video games. Josh and Ryan were making fun of each other all night as well, and McG made fun of everyone a little bit. Oh, I also met McG before the whole event happened. I went to get something to drink and on my way back he was walking up the hallway. We shook hands, introduced ourselves, and I ended up wishing him luck on “Terminator Salvation: The Future Begins.”
Back to topic, they touched up on Season 2 as well. According to Josh Schwartz, the Writer’s just started today working on everything, and they start shooting the pilot for season 2 in the beginning of May! This brought a cheer. They briefly talked about the Chuck comic that didn’t bring too much of a cheer, but the cast acknowledged the lack of response and made it somewhat humerous, and that was fun.
Like I said, I gave Yvonne a standing ovation when she originally was called up, but midway through the panel, I believe McG or Zach asked what the fans would want to see next season. It was kinda loud from people applauding and chattering from a comment right before they asked the question, but when they asked what we (the fans) wanted to see, I yelled “Yvonne!!” and it was quiet all of a sudden. I had Zach and Yvonne both look right at me and I just kind of smiled. Zach actually pointed at me and smirked, it was pretty funny. Then I got the chance to ask a question when they handed it to the audience. I got my turn at a question, and I told Zach that Spiral was awesome, but the question was for Yvonne, and I said something along the lines of “In an interview you said that before your first kissing scene Zach had eaten a big philly cheesesteak sandwhich loaded with onions.” Zach and Yvonne started laughing and Zach explained how he was hungry and he saw the sandwiches and just had to have one. Yvonne said she made him have altoids afterward, and I told Zach I would’ve been brushing my teeth for 6 hours straight before the scene happened. Then the usher took the mic away because we kind of started this mini-convo and the show had to continue, oops!
The photos attached are the best of Yvonne I could snap off and Yvonne if you happen to catch this, my apologies if you don’t like them. I tried my best!
I got my Nerd Herd shirt autographed by Josh Gomez, Ryan McPartlin, Mark Chrisopher Lawrence, and Adam Baldwin, and I got my copy of Spiral on DVD autographed my Zach. I asked him for a picture and he said he’d love to but it all depended on if he was allowed to, which ended up being he wasn’t allowed to. They dragged him out too.
I’ll be sure to add info as I remember it or whatever the case may be, but as far as new info go, there wasn’t too much. Just more about the creative process and they will be making an appearance at this years Comic-Con which I will be attending.
A very special thanks to those who donated to send me and a very sincere apology that I couldn’t snap off too many pictures!
We’ve added a slew of new gear to the Strahotski Store.
You can be the first on your block with a cool Strahotski.com mousepad, sticker, or “Got Strahovski?” T-shirt! There are a wide-variety of items to choose from, many of which are available in several colors. Help spread the word about Yvonne Strahovski and Strahotski.com!
They make a great stocking stuffer, too! 
All the gear comes from CafePress.com, and the profit goes to supporting the site. Let us know in the comments if you see anything else on CafePress that you would like with a Strahovski message on it. It’s fairly straightforward to add new items.
It’s been a while since I put out a new wallpaper, and one of the most oft-requested themes is Yvonne showing her pearly whites.
With that in mind, I scavenged through my screen capture stash and pulled out the best Yvonne Strahovski smiles I could find and put them together in one busy wallpaper.
This one is available in the same sizes as before and hopefully will make you smile every time you see it!
If you have any other ideas for wallpaper themes, let us know by replying to this post, contacting us, or signing up and posting on our active forums.
As we’ve mentioned previously here at Strahotski.com, Yvonne stars in an upcoming Australian film called Persons of Interest.
If you missed that post, you can watch trailers for the film at its myspace page or go back and read our original post.
We’ve received special permission from the creator of the film to post up hi-res production photos from the film in our gallery, under a brand new album.
No watermarks from us on these because they all belong to the film and are watermarked with the appropriate copyrights.
The film is finishing post-production right now and Tristan tells us we can expect it to hit the US festivals sometime in 2008.
Special thanks to Tristan for the photos, and I’ll be sure keep everyone up to date on when (and how) we can see Yvonne starring in this movie.
Also, be sure to register and post on the forums! It’s starting to get pretty active.
For a change of pace, I thought I’d post some info about other projects Yvonne is working on. The next big thing from her seems to be a film coming up in 2008 called The Canyon.
The film is in post-production at this point, so Yvonne has done her part. Now we just have to wait for baited breath for the release next year.
Karina is lucky enough to have visited the set during filming and she has this to say about Yvonne:
The female lead, Lori, is played by Yvonne Strzechowski - who is not only gracious and beautiful, Babycakes, she’s a smart, strong and capable actress.
It was very fun to meet Yvonne and get to know her. She is as lovely, gracious, funny and smart as you might imagine. Beautiful inside and out.
Stay tuned- because Yvonne is so amazing in The Canyon- she will blow you away!
It’s great to get a first-hand account of the real Yvonne. It sounds like she’s every bit as amazing as we’ve made her out to be here at Strahotski.com.
Karina also has a public Flickr gallery of on set photos from the movie. We can’t host them here, but I invite you all to check out the really awesome photos of Yvonne that she has in the gallery!
There are few things hotter than a girl with a gun. And there are few things hotter than Yvonne Strahovski.
Put those together and what do you get? A new wallpaper of course!
This one is available in the same sizes as before. Let me know what you think.
Today we have quite the treat.
It seems that Strahotski.com readers Ludwig and latincandy78 have been working hard to find pictures that I haven’t seen anywhere else on the Internet of Yvonne Strahovski.
I don’t know where they got them, but I’m excited that they’ve chosen to let Strahotski.com be the host of these new photos.
From their donations, I’ve added 7 pictures to the Appearances gallery, 3 pictures to the Promotional gallery, and 5 to a brand new gallery called ‘Movies‘ where you can find some screen captures from some of the movies Yvonne has done.
I’ve thus far resisted it, but I’ve finally broken down and watermarked all of our images. Reports have been coming in that the pictures were being used by other fansites without credit, so I thought it easier to just watermark them.
I’ve tried to keep it as unobtrusive as possible. What do you guys think about the watermark? Too annoying?
When I saw that Yvonne Strahovski was going to be wearing a Princess Leia outfit, I knew that it was going to be prime wallpaper material.
It may have taken almost a week, but I present you with the Princess Leia wallpaper, found in four handy resolutions. If you’re married (or otherwise involved with someone) be warned that this might get you in trouble.
I’m limited in what I can do with the lower resolution of most our screen captures, but if you’ve got any ideas for styles or themes of wallpapers, let us know!
Two new Wallpapers have gone up in the Wallpapers section. The wallpapers seem to be pretty popular, catapulting us to the top of the Google search results for “Yvonne Strahovski Wallpaper.”
Hopefully these two won’t disappoint. Straying from the original offerings here at Strahotski.com, both of these have a black background.
The bottom one is actually taken from screen captures of only Episode 1.05. I’m unsure as to whether I’ll make a wallpaper for each episode, but it’s a possibility. What do you think?
I’ve also tried to reduce the Strahotski.com branding a bit so it should be hiding behind your start bar when you use these new ones. I know how annoying obtrusive branding can be and we’d like to minimize it as much as possible while still protecting our work.
In addition, all wallpapers are now offered in two more sizes: 1280×1024 and 1024×768. Hopefully this covers everyone out there regardless of their monitor’s resolution. If you’ve got a resolution you’d like to request, let us know.
