Who loves Pretty Little Liars? I do, I do! OK, we all do. And you know what else we love? Answers. Sit tight because you'll get a few here and a whole bunch during Tuesday's spring finale.

Yesterday I had the amazing opportunity to attend Paleyfest (a yearly, two-week event that features panels from huge TV hits, giving fans the opportunity to hear actors', directors', and writers' insight into their shows) and I was lucky enough to get to work the red carpet. 

Lucy Hale, Ashley Benson, and Shay Mitchell

Due to time constraints, I didn't get to interview any of the stars. They were on a tight schedule and had to get inside for the panel. I did manage to snap some shots as they were pulled off the carpet, though. Please excuse the blur!

SPOILER ALERT: Nothing huge, but you may want to skip this paragraph if you'd rather be surprised.

I did have the opportunity to talk to two of the shows Executive Producers and they gave some great insight as to what to expect of the season finale, and I think you'll be pleased to hear that we are getting a lot of answers. I was told that loose ends will be tied up, new info will be presented, and characters will be returning - specifically, Jenna! Did you forget about the once-blind-returned-vision-only-to-lose-vision-again-stepsister-of-Toby? Yeah, I forgot about her for a minute there, too. Last we heard, she was in a coma. Well she's waking up! Also returning to Rosewood, Caleb, although we won't see him until next season so hold tight!

Joseph Dougherty and Oliver Goldstick, Executive Producers

After the red carpet I was able to attend the panel which was a lot of fun. The cast and producers talked about their chemistry on-set, discussed awkward moments, and once again promised lots of answers tomorrow night. There was even talk about wanting to make a PLL movie. Fingers crossed!

Be sure to tune into ABC Family Tuesday at 8/7c to see the Pretty Little Liars season four finale!

We're in for quite a ride, little liars! Who will be watching with me?

On the Pretty Little Liars Set

It's no surprise that I am a huge fan of the show Pretty Little Liars. Have been since day 1. It's one of the shows that I have to watch live. I'm willing to sit through commercials just because I can't wait to watch each week. Needless to say, when I was one of the bloggers invited to the set of PLL to get an up and close look at the fashion, tour the set, and snap a pic with a certain hunky teacher, I was beyond excited!

Upon arriving at Warner Brothers Studios we were escorted to a classroom set and got to browse through the wardrobes of Spencer, Aria, Hanna, and Emily as we spoke with Costume Designer, Mandi Line.

There were pretty little dresses...

...And pretty little pumps

Mandi is AMAZING! Not only is she a total badass rocker chick with a serious eye for styling, she's also a big personality. Funny, animated, and friendly. It's so refreshing when such a cool person has a great attitude to match. Mandi took the time to speak with each of us, pose for pictures, and give us insight on PLL styling.

After our fashion fix, we were surprised by a visit from Ian Harding, aka the teacher we all wish we had in high school, Mr. Ezra Fitz. He graciously posed with each of us before heading to his next engagement.

(insert swoon here!)

Next we took a tour of the set, stopping to see Spencer, Hannah, and Aria's bedrooms - all of which are adorable. The cool thing about the tour was that we got to see how the set is expanded depending on the scene and "location". For example, the classroom also serves as the cafeteria and the setting of school dances.

Sounds like a pretty amazing night right? Well it was, and I wanted to share the excitement with you. The people of Warner Brothers graciously donated a Season 1 Pretty Little Liars DVD which I am going to give to one of you!

T0 be entered, simply leave me a comment with your email address (so I can contact you). I'll select and announce one winner this Friday, December 9.

Be sure to tune into the winter premiere of Pretty Little Liars on Monday, January 2 at 8/7 c on ABC Family!

Man Candy Monday: Ian Harding

OK I'm hot for teacher. Mr Ezra Fitz is an English teacher that I wish I had in high school. Each week as I watch Pretty Little Liars I drool over, Ian Harding, who plays Fitz. Even if you don't watch PLL and you have no clue who he is, you have to admit Ian is a hottie.

Name

Ian Harding

Date of Birth

September 16, 1986

Place of Birth

Heidelberg, Germany (American military family then moved to Virginia a few years after Ian was born)

Notable Role

Pretty Little Liars

Smaller Roles

Adventureland

Love and Other Drugs

He may not have a large amount of acting experience, but I think that Pretty Little Liars will propel his career.

Please tell me that I am not alone in my PLL obsession. I know several of my friends are also fans. Who else loves the show?
