you can stand under my umbrella
One of the girls I went to Idol with, Tina, made us a video and I have to share it because it's beautiful. And it means a lot to me because I'm always the one who edits, and as a result, I'm never able to know what it feels like to be on the other end - to get a video and a memory as a gift. Like my dance team - I never understood what having a video of an amazing memory like that felt like because I was the one who collected it, edited it, and captured it. I couldn't ever GET it, get the gift behind it and what it feels like. But this? I can't even explain.
0:17 - "Paula can do more than judge a show, as one person displayed 'Paula saved my best friend's life'." That was Tina's sign on Wednesday. They noticed.
0:25 - Jennah and Simon's girlfriend out back after the show.
0:31 - the girls waiting in line, I obv was not there yet because I had different tickets. But they're singing Paula's songs. ♥
0:41 - they were excited because they were the very first in line lol. ♥
0:48 - they caught the trucks bringing in the set.
0:53 - this is my favorite. We were at Ketchup, after we had met her and gone to her star. We were waiting in the lounge to be seated, and we heard the first few notes of Tiny Dancer play. We all screamed because that is one of our Paula songs. So, we just danced. I thought she was taking pictures but she was actually doing video. And it was such a liberating moment because we just. didn't. care. about all the people looking at us.
1:36 - I was the blonde Marilyn to her brunette Jane Russell, in the Gentlemen Prefer Blondes cement.
2:31 - she's dancing on her star. Like... RIGHT. THERE.
2:44 - fixing her necklace was one of my favorite things ever. Just because it looks so beautiful on film when it's not sped up.
2:57 - "we just met Paula Abdul!"
3:05 - guess who we just met? PAULA. ABDUL!
3:14 - we're talking TO Paula now, so, that's what my deal was. ♥
4:15 - Jennah & Tina getting to their hotel room.
♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ Like, I can't even. I am crying and I love them, I love these girls and this day and I know what it feels like to have a video gift from someone else, a permanent reminder of a memory to hold onto. LIKE FUCK, I WISH I COULD EXPLAIN THE CONCEPT. The RL videos I make, I can still enjoy, but it's totally different. And it's really nice to be on this end for once.
