fan girl

I made a complete fool of myself in front of Sarah Blasko. At a gig where she was opening for The Brunettes, I spotted her weaving her way from the bar to stand near the stage. Drunk on good music and vodka, I couldn't resist barelling over to her and blurting all sorts of fan-girlish things like how she was *SOCOOL* and how I *LOVEDHERDRESS* and especially *HOWMUCHBETTERSHEISTHANTHEBRUNETTES*. Was it my imagination or did she actually take a step back from me, grinning with a combination of confusion, terror and alarm? I choose not to remember.

  2. Awwww! I think she'd be totally flattered m'dear! I know I would be - she was probably a little post gig adrenalined too and a little spacey - I think it's SOCOOL you did that!!! :) I see NZ is bursting at the seams with colour and fleurs like Sydney - beautiful photos fellow Southern Hemispherian!!

  3. such a cute dress Ana! Valleygirl has such nice things these days but I always go there and it's just so packed that I just can't be bothered rummaging through the racks :S such a shame coz their sales are pretty good too...

    *must have more patience*

  4. Haha if I met Sarah Blasko I would probably fling myself on her and give her a hug - stone cold sober! I am the biggest fan. I might even have cried a little.

    Loving your outfit today, the floral print on that dress is so gorgeous! I am loving all the gorgeous florals this spring/summer. x

  6. Well, whatever expression she might've had I'm impressed! Wish I had the guts to do something like that... I love going to concerts and whenever I spot an artist off stage all I can do is whisper and nudge whoever I'm with... so weak! :)

    Along with admiring your awesome outspokenness I also love your dress and photographs. That overexposed one (5th down?) is fantastic.

  7. I love how you put your posts together. The way the images are so individual but seem to link up too. There's a real art to it, it's not just about the outfit, it's about the whole image you paint with the photography & the words. Just beautiful. Keep it up!!

    That dress is stunning & looks great on you :)

    Love Bambola x

  24. Have you ever seen the British television show "Coupling"? {If not, you must!} But there's an episode where they show the same thing, but from the perspective of two different characters -- one drunk, one not so much. Your story reminded me of that...

    ... and also, your blue cardigan is INSANE!! So gorgeous!!

    ReplyDelete
  25. That is a most excellent dress & I love the little flower in your hair!

    Plus you met/coversed with Sarah Blasko!! That's so cool, haha. I'm sure she was happy to have such a passionate fan! ^__^

  26. Aw, hun, I'm sure she was flattered! I happened to notice Gabbi's comment and I totally agree - I never have the guts to tell artists how much I admire and appreciate them. Will have to work on mustering up the ol' courage!

    I can't get over how utterly beautiful your dress and cardigan are! Ana, you are a vision!

    Haha, and yes, I have recently amassed quite the little collection of colored hats. In the past I've been terrible at buying hats and never wearing them. It's that whole courage/confidence issue again, gah! Anyway, enjoy your week!

  27. I think everyones had that experience. It's awesome and embarrassing at the same time. I bet she loved it a little bit!

    ReplyDelete

  40. Thanks for your comment Ana. In response, I actually had rsi a couple of months ago and it was quite bad and took a few weeks to recover. Now I am starting to feel it again although not as bad so I'm trying to rest and I think its working to some extent. Just need to get through exams and then everything will be ok.

    Anyway, your outfit is lovely as always. I especially like this one of because of the beautiful colours, the floral print and I like long cardigans although I don't have many myself. Valleygirl is one of my favourite shops and I buy there probably more than anywhere else. I didn't see that dress or cardigan there but if I had I definately would have bought them.

  41. She may just be a little bit surprised but I think she's also flattered. ;)

    What a pretty,pretty dress! Love the burst of color. The blue cardigan completed the whole look.Love the purple daisies too. NZ is so beautiful, gotta visit it one of these days too.:)

    Drop by Spain too, there are still a lot of interesting places to explore here. ;)

  45. Haha! Always seems like a good idea at the time doesn't it? I offered Avenged Sevenfold some of my picnic once upon a time - as if they refused some homemade chicken sandwiches from a crazed fan...

    Sounds like a fun night and I love that dress! :) x
