This weekend was so fun. Not only did I get to sit around with my gal-pals on Friday night (this includes Trent...), watching Sex In the City and Golden Girls while eating cheesecake and doritos, I also got to meet and sort of hang out with Hilary Duff! (so what if I'm almost 30!?)
Thanks to my darling Trent and his ever-popular blogging, he was INVITED to go to Hilary's show at
DTE and got backstage passes. Luckily, he loves me (also Erik was out of town), so I got to go with him! :) You can read the whole story at
his site and also see all the pictures. She was so kind to us and so happy to meet Trent. It was great! She even had us in her prayer huddle the MINUTE before she went on stage. We got to watch from "the pit" where the bodyguards and the camera dudes all stand (which meant we had to walk on the stage a little to get there!). Her bodyguards, band, best friend Taylor ... they all were so nice and seemed like a ton of fun. And she's really down-to-earth and doesn't come across like a "superstar" at all ... good times.
And yes, she's very petite and I look like an Amazon woman next to her. Let me just point out that my shirt, though cute in person, was a poor choice for photographs. My gut is not really hanging like that. And I think her thigh is about the size of my calf, so.... put this all in perspective when you look at these. hah.
Let's hope we have as much success trying to meet Tori this Sunday! Though, a personal invite from Tori (a la Hilary) would be so much nicer than elbowing our way to the front at the meet-n-greet. Oh well - I'll take what we can get!
