A Retelling: The Todrick Experience

So about a year ago I managed to rustle up the coins & the courage to ease on down to my first Todrick Hall experience...

Flashback...

Todrick Hall is the bees knees & the cats meow. The straight outta oz show is just amazing...that boy...he is amazing!!!

The Retelling...

Woke up this morning like “I'm off to see the wizard.”

Now at first I wasn't none too happy that I was gon have to be flying solo for this engagement. But I am a true Todrick Hall Stan, always have been always will be; end of story...well not really wait.

So I said lemme just skip my crazy ass on down the street. I asked one of those staff members over by the VIP line “Excuse me uh, where do gen pop go?” Child...it felt like that line was wrapping round 40 city blocks. Eventually, I sashayed up in that play station theater & was like “What the what?!”

And I didn't realize this until about halfway through the show but I was so happy to be there I was actually shedding tears. I was like “Am I weeping!”

And not only that; Me & my poor general admission ass ticket got to meet & greet him anyway.

Todrick Hall: “We appreciate you being here and supporting us so that we can make our dreams come true. After the show I’m gonna take a picture with every single person who buys one of those posters from the merchandise table. I wanna meet every single one of you, take photos and blow up Instagram...”

I looked at my bank account like “Ummm...? Well...guess I'm going into overdraft tonight cause I'm fitna meet the wiz!!!”

Let me tell you, I was such a nerd meeting him. I felt like the nerdiest nerd. #BlackNerds

The moment I got up to that threshold to meet he...My soul decided she wanted an aerial view of the situation, left me high and dry. She's still MIA as far as I'm concerned, just selfish.My life has been an out of body experience since then.When I was up & he looked at me, I was so flummoxed. My brain couldn't think of anything meaningful to say at all!!! The only phrase I could fix my mouth to utter at that point was “I love you...” But when he told me he loved me back & gave me that hug...I could’ve died right there.

And he is so svelte in person..

I was just like “Oooh! body goals!”

And I don't know if it was my knee high sneakers or my sailor moon skater dress he was looking at but whatever it was, he told me I was cute and I died thrice that evening.  I was so disoriented after that I was trembling. They was like “Ma'am its that way, the exit is that way.” It took me 1000 minutes to get home after that. I was like “Huey gon cuss me out when I get home.” I am still star struck, enamored. I love him. I'm in love. The only thing that coulda made this moment, this experience any sweeter is sharing it with the bestie; but alas.

From there me and the bae went on to follow him to the Behind The Curtain screening where he announced plans for his next album and world tour.

The Promise...

Cakes, Swift Wind, Winnipeg...we getting VIP tickets next time.

Let me tell you something; Shamys face will be in the place with those VIPs!!! We boutta be front & center for this Forbidden world tour. And I wanted to make sure that I really tried my damnedest to get us to this show because there really is no telling when we’ll get this opportunity again.
