the toilet paper incident
Kelly Clarkson came to DC last night and I am proud to say that I was there! That's right, I WAS THERE. I know you're secretly jealous. I figured I'd be one of two people over the age of 16 (me and my gf), but I was way wrong on that. I felt like I was at a Pride Festival. I knew she had gay fans but by far the biggest group represented were gay boys and lesbians. Such good taste us gay people have :) Anyway, the show was awesome and if anyone gets a chance to see her, I highly recommend it. She's the rare artist who sounds 300 times better live than on her albums and she sounds pretty damn good on her albums.
How did this girl become pop? She's a rocker to the core. Hmm, maybe she can dress in black and become the next Joan Jett. Now that would be hot. Not that anyone can ever be another Joan Jett, but this girl can rock. For those who missed it or didn't watch, check out the clip from American Idol this past season when she made a guest appearance.
Ok, enough about my current crush and onto the real reason for my post today. About midway through the concert, a girl walks up the steps beside me and turns in across the aisle. My gf says, "Um, what's that hanging from her back?" A closer look reveals what has to be the #1 thing you wouldn't want hanging off of your back while sliding into your seat at a sold out concert. That would be a two foot long piece of toilet paper. Yep, right there hanging from somewhere under her shirt. Not tucked in to her pants either. When she leaned over, you could clearly see it was making it's way up her back. How does tp get that far up one's back? I was very curious, but really I just wanted to tell her that she was wearing toilet paper. At this point though, she's like 20 feet away squeezing through to get to her seat and then she stops and she does the unthinkable....
... She starts pointing to the crowd and twirling around in some kind of crazy dance. I cannot save her now and she has drawn much more attention to herself. She shakes her butt.. she points... she twirls. I am tempted to leap and tackle her but she is too far away. The fingers start to point, trying to tell her and people start to laugh. Her two cute little gay boy friends are falling on the floor. They want to tell her but when she looks at them, they cannot speak. They are crying and falling over themselves laughing. Finally, they point enough and cry enough and point enough to manage to show her the tp. Toilet paper now removed, the poor girl just buries her head in her friends bosom. Good excuse for the first move I think. Unlike the predictable cough-and-put-arm-around-shoulder move, go for the tp-on-the-back-humiliation-and-bury-head-in-bosom move. Ten for originality tp girl.
Anyway, this blog entry goes out to the tp girl at the Kelly Clarkson concert in DC. She was actually a good sport about the incident so I can blog without guilt. The best part is she'll forever have a "most embarassing moment" to fall back on at social functions when conversation turns to such things. Everyone needs at least one of those. So readers? What's your most embarrassing moment?

I was at the concert too and it was the best concert I have ever been to! Kelly Clarkson seemed a little nervous at the start, but once she started to feed off the excitement of the crowd-wow! She rocked the house and I agree with ditc6...her records do not do her justice! It is nice to see a performer have so much fun doing what they love to do!
On a side note, JON McLAUGHLIN,her opening act, was amazing. I have never seen anyone play the piano like he did last night. He did remind me of Linus in Charlie Brown...really poor posture, hunched over the keyboard! But wow! The fervor in which he played that piano was exhausting to witness! He is very cute and all the gay boys did love him!
To me, I am like ditc6-I have found my new crush! I love you Kelly Clarkson!
Did I ever tell you about the time a thong was hanging off the end of my spiral ring notebook as I was cramming in the front row of class just minutes before a math exam? ok, just did.
