We dressed to kill and danced for our lives! That’s me with the phone strapped to my head…
OMG there’s Gaga….
And this is me stalking her after the show…note my fellow queer in the background also vamping before the bus…
As you can see, I did not wear pants. I know I told you all earlier that I was making the pointy-shoulder padded dress by Jeremy Scott that she wore on this one TV appearance….you remember, this one:
Well, I was totally all set to make that. I had already developed the pattern and made a short blue version without the bolts. What happened?? Well, a crazy heatwave hit Portland for several days right before the show and it made me not want to wear so much clothing to the show, which I already assumed would be HOT. I had to throw this telephone-inspired ensemble together the afternoon of because I’m silly and of course I spent all the days leading up to the Portland show working on my outfit for the Tacoma show. (You’ll see that doozy in a couple days!!)
Anyways, enough about my personal costume drama. The show was amazing!! When Gaga told the crowd that she had been biking around Portland I almost died. (I crossed my fingers to see her at the Dollar Tree earlier that day in Oregon City but no dice.) Julia, Kelly and I tried to stalk her and get her to sign our records after the show but I guess she ran away before we got there. Luckily, we are going to the show in Tacoma, WA tomorrow (Hello, Washington!!!!!!) so we’ll get another honest crack at it.
Next time: Binoculars. Water. *Successful* signature-getting. More pictures of the crowd’s costumes! I have to say the highlight of the whole evening was my on-going mutual lovefest with the other costumed folks. So much FUN!
