The Frankie Foster appreciation thread

[Medikor]

Looking forward to it Frankie_fan! I have no doubt that it'll be great.

Last Sunday evening I opened my email bulk box and found this:



I leave it to you guys to imagine what I felt in that moment; for a split second, my wildest dreams had come true. A moment later I came back to reality and I said to myself, "Okay what the hell??" The email was obviously not from Frankie; upon opening it, I discovered that the contents had nothing to do Frankie or Foster's whatsoever. Still, the subject line lingered in my head: A rose for my love. I haven't been able to get it out of my mind since I saw it, probably because Frankie's birthday is just around the corner. I wanted to get her something, even though there's really no point in buying a gift for a cartoon character. I was going to shrug it off as just another fantasy when something at a local convenience store caught my eye, the email and the birthday clicked together, and, well, here's what I bought, a rose for my love:



The rose is frosted glass with a fragrant liquid inside that smells much like a real rose. The pic above was shot with my camera's flash active; the one below has the flash off:



The red glow comes from an LED and a miniature battery. And I did give it to Frankie, in a way:





It also has a small speaker built in; while the rose glows it plays an old classical song. It's quite enchanting. Just like the lady I bought it for. I know I can never really give her anything, but maybe that's not so important. Maybe it's the thought that matters, or the smile on my face when I see my Frankie plush holding that rose. I feel pretty good right now; I hope you guys get something out of these pics, too.

A day early, but what the heck; I'll celebrate her any day. Happy birthday, Frankie Foster.

It's very cute and very sweet, I sadly don't think I could divulge myself into the possibility Frankie would send me a rose. Maybe it's my occasional lack of self confidence in my looks or identity or possibly it's just my reality brain having the rare occasion of outweighing my fantasy brain's thoughts.

That's a wonderful gift Cass and I wish you and especially our lovely red headed hottie Frankie Foster a most pleasant birthday. I just feel kinda crummy though knowing I can't really produce a piece of art, a music video, or something similar to these photos to give Frankie a sense of commemoration or dedication.

I hate not being able to contribute stuff like that to this forum, or any of the forums I go to. But either way I wish Frankie the best and I just wanted to say how nice it feels to actually wish a fictional character a birthday, usually I thought it was a stupid idea but, now I see and feel what people mean by it.

Ah, but you give your informed opinion and I'm sure the forum wouldn't be the same without it.

As for the rose, I had no idea it was Frankie's birthday!

I think it's a nice touch.

I got an audio birthday card from Wilt last year for my birthday, so anything is possible! I wish I could have seen your face though, when you saw that the email sender!

That has to be the cutest thing I've ever seen Cassini! Great story. And don't beat yourself up Mr.M. I don't really have the skills to make such wonderful things in honor of our favorite character either. It just makes me appreciate the great things that the many talented members here make even more.
And like Ub3rD4n said, You provide us with your input. I for one always enjoy what you have to say in the conversations we have about our fave show and characters.

Can't wait until tomorrow to see the image!! (WOW, a bunch of posts got ahead of me)

That's so sweet of you Cassini. I wish I had the skill to make a plushie!

That's just too sweet, Cassini! I got a rose similar to that at Disneyland 11 years ago. I loved it so much, I put it in a bud vase and used it kind of like a night-light. It was very soothing to see in a dark room, like a candle or something. Hope Frankie gets as much happiness from yours as I did from mine.

I get emails occasionally dated from 1905. The first time I saw the date on one I was floored! LOL!

I'd also like to wish Frankie a very Happy Birthday a day early! I'm guessing she's another forever 22 (like me).

Cass, without a doubt that is the coolest thing to happen. Sure, Frankie is a fictional character - but it is fans like you, me, and the others that make her come alive! I think giving your plushie the rose is great; and that plushie is so cute - I want one! I too want to wish our beloved redhead a happy 23 for tomorrow, and they better play nothing but Frankie dominated episodes on CN - or else!

As for Frankie Fan, I am so looking forward to what he has cookin' behind the barn!

To be on the safe side I'll wish Frankie a happy birthday now in case I forget tomorrow. (yeah right!)

Happy Birthday, Frankie!
