He Was a Boy & She Was a Girl

The biggest perk of sitting in the rafters is being able to watch the crowd like an omnipresent goddess. From high in the clouds, nose pressed against the safety glass, I can see a trained classical dancer vibing her way to heaven mere feet away from a dude hardcore windmilling his way to the promised land.

Did he notice her? No. Did she notice him? Probably not. Were they meant to be together? Can I make it any more obviouusss?

This mystery long-haired platinum blonde dancer was wearing a tube top and black leggings with stilettos at a hardcore/metal rock show. I later saw her gracefully float back to the ground after having crowd surfed with all her hair, makeup, and shoes in tact. She adjusted herself and waltzed back to her spot in the crowd as if it was just another day at the office. An icon.

Whoever you are, may you never break a heel, twist an ankle, or ever let a man make you cry. Amen 🙏🏽

Unlike a lot of my Show & Tell pieces (where I trick myself into thinking it’ll be a short and sweet piece but then I get carried away by my desire to share all my observations and thoughts), I’ll let a few one-liners and my shaky cam video tell the story.

Amira Elfeky: singing to the rafters in an empty arena takes power
The Plot in You: “let’s get emo!” *proceeds to play four questionable bars on acoustic*
Motionless in White: just because i have pigtails doesn’t mean i won’t mess you up
Bring Me the Horizon: i’m convinced the crew and writers are former Imagineers because i was simply in awe at the attention to detail and intimacy despite the grandiosity of it all
