Not that she needs any introduction, but the movie and TV star and newly-minted fashion designer Melissa McCarthy took time out of her crazy-busy schedule to stop by our flagship store in downtown Seattle last Friday, where she greeted customers and promoted her clothing collection, Melissa McCarthy Seven7.

Let's be honest: mixed in with the thrill at the prospect of meeting a favorite celebrity IN PERSON is the tiniest fear that the actor you've loved and laughed-so-hard-you've-cried watching-whose movies you OWN (even though you can watch them on Netflix)-will be nothing like her accessible on-screen persona in real life. But Melissa McCarthy did not disappoint. She was absolutely lovely-warm, down-to-earth, genuinely gracious and engaging with every single person she met-and there were many!

With DJ B.Two.Times spinning nearby, Melissa autographed pictures and CDs while she chatted and posed for snaps with a long line of customers and fans of all ages and genders. Her energy level never wavered, and she happily accommodated some playful pose requests.

After meeting the A-list icon, fans looked as if they were floating toward the exit, faces beaming and a bit dazed. The best way to describe the event? Pure joy.
