Well it turns out Chuck writer Ali Adler got word of this awesome costume and made a point of showing it to Yvonne Strahovski on the set of Chuck.

That alone would have been a major coup for little Bailey, but it only got better from there.

Yvonne was so impressed with the costume, that she mailed Bailey a special gift for her awesomeness.

It’s not like we needed more evidence to prove that Yvonne Strahovski is an amazing person, but I really love being able to post this kind of news.  Looks like that’s certainly a one-of-a-kind souvenir!

Yes, Yvonne Strahovski is beautiful.  And of course she’s an amazing actress.  But what really endears her to all of us is that under it all she’s a great person.

It’s small gestures like this that really endear Ms. Strahovski to her fans.  A special congratulations to Bailey for her awesome jacket!

The motivational poster came via our forums from Swedude, while the wallaper was sent to us by reader Nat.

I love’em both, and that motivational poster pretty much sums up the post-Yvonne Strahovski world we live in.

If you have any works of art or pics of Yvonne you’d like to share, email them to us at submissions@strahotski.com!

Lykaon woke me up at a painstaking 6am to make sure I was ready for the big day.  We then headed down to Port Imperial to catch the Ferry.

We got to the convention center at 8am and were saddened to learn that we weren’t allowed to wait in line specifically for Yvonne until 10am.

So we sat.  And sat.  And along the way we met a very nice professional photographer, and a couple of Strahotski.com readers, Carastille and Reen426.

The time finally arrived and we got a seat in the fourth row; plenty close to Yvonne.

After a Chuck recap, she came in and wow.  I know I’m just a bear, and partial to the bear ladies, but Yvonne was stunning.  I didn’t know humans could be that pretty!

I was really nervous.  What if she didn’t like me?  What if she had another bear in her life?

The Q&A session started and Lykaon jerked me up (with little a care for my well-being).  Second in line.  This was going to be good.

Lykaon got the mic and started by introducing himself as the webmaster of the site.  Yvonne said, “WoW.”  (Lykaon tells me there is audio that he’ll put up on the site later.)

He offered me up to her and there was a few moments of confusion, since no one knew the protocol for delivering a bear to a pretty lady.

Finally, the witty Chris Fedak had the answer — “Throw it!”

And there I was hurdling through the air until Mr. Fedak finally caught me.  And then he handed me over and I was face to face with Yvonne.  I had finally made it home.

Later in the panel someone asked her who her craziest fan was and she held me up stating, “Probably the guy who made this site!”  (She’s right, he is pretty crazy.)

This will be my last blog for Strahotski.com since I have a big life ahead of me now with Yvonne.  Thanks for all of the support!

Lykaon says that when he gets home to real internet he will provide even more info and lots more pictures of both me and Yvonne.  Look for it today or tomorrow!

Goodbye!  Wish me luck with Yvonne!

First up is a new fan wallpaper from reader James, and second is a new motivational poster from reader Carterman (via the forums).

A lot of Chuck viewers were disappointed that the Die Hard references in Chuck Versus the Santa Claus didn’t include John McClane’s signature line.  It was therefore only a matter of time before someone figured out a way to work it in!

If you have any creations you’d like us to include on our website, email it to us: submissions@strahotski.com. Enjoy!

I’m sure you will find the lot of them as hilarious as I did!  Heck, I’m sure even Yvonne Strahovski herself would find them pretty funny.

If you have anything you’d like us to consider for including in our gallery, send it to submissions@strahotski.com.

It’s easy to forget during the Chuck season, but Strahotski.com is first and foremost and homage to the beauty that is Yvonne Strahovski.  It’s all about the Aussie beauty and what she brings to the world.

So as slow as I am, I’m proud to bring you some more scans from reader bzzg.  He’s always on top of things and I should have brought them to you earlier than today.

Nonetheless, I know you’ll enjoy the 5 new pics of Yvonne from In Style Magazine!  (as an added bonus, bzzg has also found some of the digital originals)

But wait — that’s not all!  Reader Scott has taken Yvonne’s hot Nerd Herd outfit and made it into a work of art with his new Motivational Poster:

I really enjoy getting new Motivational Posters and LOLStrahovski pics.  I really wish the latter would have taken off a little more than it did.  Oh well, I guess I’ll have to keep happy with LOLCats.

Thanks again to bzzg and Scott for the pics!

If you’ve got something you’d like for us to add to our gallery, email your works of Yvonne Strahovski art to submissions@strahotski.com!

Good to know that ‘Strahotski’ has become a loving nickname for Ms. Strahovski while on the set of Chuck.  We’ve always been fond of it.

You can read Devon’s write-up of his experiences with Yvonne here, but this post is to show off his awesome pictures.

That’s just the tip of the iceberg.  There’s a whole new Fan Photos gallery to show off his pics.

I’ve even bent the rules a little and thrown a up a pic of Devon with Zach Levi.  And if you look close enough at the photo of the poster, you can see Yvonne’s signature.

Congratulations to Devon for getting to meet the lovely lass.  If we bug her about the site enough, maybe we’ll get an interview someday (which of course has the ulterior motive of me getting to meet her!).

If you’ve got photos of Yvonne from Comic-Con, send them to us at submissions@strahotski.com!

My birthday was indeed exciting though! The Chuck cast/crew autograph signing was at 2:15pm, followed by the panel at 3:30pm. I waited around for about an hour and half waiting for Convention Center Security (the “Elite”) to get a line organized, and once they did I was about 20th or so. I was pretty close to the front.

Like I said in my Paley report (is it a report? Write-up?), Yvonne is stunning up close. I stand by it. This time, I was able to speak face to face with her and she was nice enough to take a picture with me! We talked briefly about our birthdays (hers is next Wednesday), and we talked about being leo’s and the upcoming panel, took our picture, and security cut it short to keep the line moving. The pictures are uploaded, including a picture of the poster I got signed as well as some pictures from the panel.

Most of you knew this, but she’s a sweetheart. Very genuine, and WELL aware of Strahotski. “All of the guys call me Strahotski on set because of the site!” I had brought it up with her to see if maybe she checked the place out and she mentioned she has, but how often, I don’t know.

Just to get to the point, enjoy.

There’s a thread you can check out here and a bit off-topic, but more pictures from Comic-Con on my MySpace.

EDIT: Pictures will be up when I can figure out how to resize them. I guess they are too big.

Editor’s Note: I’ve got the pictures and will put them in a gallery and post again when I have them up.  – Lykaon

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.

There are a total of six that I’ve added to a new gallery in the Fan Pictures Album called Motivational Posters.

If you’ve got any fan created imagery you’d like us to include on Strahotski.com, feel free to contact us or you can email your handiwork to submissions@strahotski.com!
