The street was lined with vendors from various companies and events and each had something unique to bring to the event, there were artists and photobooths, wines and ice cream. Something for everyone. And what was equally wonderful was that all of the tips for the night went back to the charity, so we eagerly gave at each booth we stopped at.

There was also a massive auction going on and I got into a bit of a bidding war with another guest over a Desperate Housewives bag. Sadly he finally went well over my limit but I know that the items are going to great homes. Again, all of the money from every auction piece went to the foundation.

Onto part 2 of my meet and greets:

Last year the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation approached me about promoting a new event they had started called the Wisteria Lane Block Party. A charity event held on Colonial Street at the Universal Backlot where all proceeds went to funding Cystic Fibrosis research for a cure. They loved my passion for it and so this year they invited me to go along. I eagerly jumped at a chance to visit a street set that had been a part of my life since I was 12, and my final destination took me to a place to make some amazing memories that will stay with me forever.

I invited my friend and cohort Amelia from Dana-Delany.org and we took off on a whirlwind adventure to Universal Studios. It was such a crazy night and the adrenaline was intense but it was an mind blowing night and something I will never forget. I was able to meet much of the cast, and many of them already knew my name. To put it simply, it was life changing.

I got a few red carpet photos, which you can view below but the most exiting parts (at least for me) are under the cut. I’m writing these out in parts so you’ll have to keep coming back for more!

The 2nd Annual Wisteria Lane Block Party was under way Saturday night at Universal Studios and the cast was in full form! Taking the time to walk the carpet AND meet their fans, everyone in attendance was busy. The street was open to fans to visit their favorite Housewives homes and take pictures inside and out. There was a wonderful silent and live auction with some wonderful Housewives goodies and food galore!

All of the proceeds went to the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation and we very fortunate to attend this year’s party and make a little Wisteria Lane memories of our own. While Tori is still writing up her recap, here are some photos of the cast from the red carpet. Marcia, Eva, Brenda and Dana were unable to attend but the fort was well held down in their absence.
