As part of marking a milestone birthday celebration (let’s just say I could have been the age of the girl’s father), I decided that I wanted to do something I had been too embarrassed to do in the past: embrace my pop-loving heart and go to a certain big star’s concert. The stars aligned and not only was I able to score tickets when they went on sale, but I got a special package that allowed me to enter early so I could be sure to see the show near the front of the stage.
My wife attended the show with me, but I wasn’t sure how she was going to do with the crowd–she has personal space issues and being at the front of a big concert is not the place to have that kind of anxiety. Still, I wasn’t going to miss out on this opportunity since I would only become more self-conscious about this type of event as I get older.
We lined up before the doors opened and I wasn’t disappointed in the wild costumes and outfits my fellow fans were sporting. This star is well-supported by the LGBT community, so men and women felt free to flaunt themselves with their fashion. I love the energy and the spectacle, so I had no issue with everyone showing off.
