I've been to many of Marie Osmond's signing events, and she always makes the time for everyone to get the chance to meet her. But, the purpose for the event in the first place is to sell her dolls or crafts or books. It's the same thing at book signings. You have to buy the book at the store during the event to get it signed by the author, and and they won't sign anything else, and probably won't personalize it, either.
On this cruise, I was surprised and disappointed at how selfish and inconsiderate many of the fans were to Donny and Marie, and of the other fans who were waiting for their turn to meet them.

It’s just that $125 is a lot of money for a doll.
I can understand having to purcahse an item for the writer/designer to sign.
