Adore Delano

Friday night I got the opportunity of a lifetime! 

Last Thursday morning I woke up and checked my twitter, as usual, and noticed a very interesting tweet from my favorite drag queen! 

I freaked out and Fangirled like crazy! Long story short, my mom talked me into getting off work Friday night and purchasing the VIP tickets for Adore's appearance at Talbott Street! I got to do a meet and greet with her, then we got to watch her perform! 

I spent all day getting ready: got my hair done, picked out some new shoes, and took forever on my makeup! Before we got there my amazing boyfriend stopped and got me a long stem pink rose to give to Adore! We got to Talbott in time to have a drink and then we waited in line for the much awaited moment... meeting Adore! 

When Adore came out I almost lost it!! She was sooooooo beautiful! She was wearing an amazing red wig, shirt that looked like a mustard bottle, glamorous red gloves, stockings, and fire engine red high heels! She is even more gorgeous in person! She was so excited to meet everyone who walked up to her; she hugged them and posed for photos with everyone who came. 

When it got to be my turn I was about to have a panic attack, the word 'excited' doesn't even begin to explain how I felt at that moment! I walked up to her with some hesitation, mainly because I didn't wanna trip over my big feet, then I gave her the rose, she gave me a hug, and we took a few pictures. After taking the picture she signed a photo for me and I got to chat with her for a moment. She was super easy to talk to, but I was trying really hard not to act too star-struck whenever I spoke to her.  I, to this moment, cannot get over how sweet, warm, and inviting she was to me and all her fans.  As we were finishing up she hugged me and I thanked her for the photo and autograph, and she thanked me for coming to see her. 

Once I walked out of the meet and greet I began to get emotional, I was tearing up out of pure joy!!! After trying to pull myself together I started to sob from excitement. (I'm a very emotional person!) I finally got myself together, sat down, and my boyfriend grabbed me a drink. I took a minute to call my mom (she was excited for me), I thanked her for making me take off work, then I started crying again... (I have issues.)

Before long I was able to completely pull myself together and the show started. There were several regular performers, and before long Adore graced the stage! She came out breathing fire, flipped off her shoes, and rocked our world! She had me screaming my head off and I was super stoked to get to see her put her heart and soul into this performance. 

For her second performance she sang live! I was blown away! She even mentioned she was sick, yet she managed to sing the song, Stay, better than Rihanna ever could. Toward the end of the song everyone, including myself, lined up to give her our appreciations, and she gave us all a warm embrace. I was elated!!!! 

This brought something to both mine and my boyfriends attention... Adore is not like other Queens. When she performs she does it for the fans! Other performers that night half assed there routine, and collected their tips with little excitement. Adore took the time to appreciate her fans, she put her heart into her performances, and managed to maintain HIGH energy the entire time. She is absolutely one of a kind, I am beyond elated to have had the opportunity to not only see her preform, but to have also met her!
