It was a busy few days for Sharpie in sunny Los Angeles, California last week where the new stainless steel Sharpie made its official debut. Sharpie cozied up with the celebrity set who use Sharpies to sign all those autographs. In fact, in the celebrity world, you haven’t made it until you can’t leave home without a Sharpie in your pocket. SS Sharpie (as we have affectionately come to call it) was right at home in the swanky digs of one of the super posh celebrity gifting suites that take place during the week leading up to the Oscars.

The celebs came out in droves to ogle the new Sharpie. SS Sharpie was the belle of the ball, despite the $30,000 watches and fancy-pants jewelry and serious hi-tech gadgets available for the taking.

I know it’s a tough job but somebody’s gotta do it… Meredith, Niky and I (you can see us slaving away in the photo ahead) humbly offered our services to (wo)man the gifting suite and make nice with the celebs. We earned our stripes - stripes meaning a few blisters and sore throats as we talked up the new stainless steel Sharpie with its refillable cartridge, etched logo on the barrel and super cool “markerability.” The great thing about Sharpie is you never have to explain yourself - everybody knows Sharpie. And celebs are not immune to Sharpie’s charms - they collect and covet them just like the rest of us crazy Sharpie fanatics.

Anyway, here’s a sneak peak of some of the action — just a few of the celebs that stopped by to check out the new stainless steel Sharpie. We’ll have more pics once the big media giants (currently reviewing them for publication) release them back into our custody.

Enjoy!
