What a glorious day it was today.
I skipped my 8am class, which was probably a dumb decision, but sleeping was really feeling good and I just could not bear to get up.
So I got up at like 9:40, showered, and then Sarai came over and we got ready (after she COVERED my room in outfit options) and we picked out a cute outfit for her and I stole one of her cute shirts (THAT ACTUALLY FITS ME REALLY WELL) and we were off to the Tanger Outlets!
All was well, until we got to about half a mile BEFORE the exit off 40, and then realized there was a line of cars sitting on the side of the highway to get off the exit. It was ridic. We sat there in traffing jamming to Pink & Taio Cruz and stuff and tweeted at Stacy a LOT and then after about 40 minutes of sitting there, we finally made it out of the line and off the highway... and then I had to park IN A DITCH and then we had to walk like 3 blocks to get to the mall.. gah. lol. SO we got there, and went to this tent where we assumed Stacy was, and YES SHE WAS THERE.. A boring middle aged man had to talk about the outlets and stuff and then there was some more talking and then Stacy got to talk and then they exploded some confetti & such.. and then Sarai and I had to lurk about while Stacy talked to some important people onstage... and of course we crept up to the front of the tent/room and then as Stacy walked off the stage I tapped her and she turned around and was like "Kelley! You're here! I'm so glad you came!" And I was like "Of course I came- I HAD to!!" and then I introduced her to Sarai and we chatted for a moment and Stacy said that I looked gorgeous... :DD (AND Stacy explained to Mr. Tanger himsef, "This is one of my twitter girls! Kel & I go way back."), and then Stacy had to go do an interview but she said to stay put. So we did, and then she returned to us and asked if we were going to come see her "later this afternoon" and I said YES OF COURSE I HOPE and we discussed where she was going to be and such, and then we peaced out and Stace had to go to this VIP lunch thing. So Sarai and I were totes starving so we decided to go find food. HOWEVER, on our way to finding food, we found the line to meet Stacy which was already really long (40 minutes before the meet & greet), so Sarai went off to buy giant pretzels and I saved the spot in line.
Sarai returned with FOUR giant pretzels- a pizza one, an original, a cinnamon sugar and a jalepeno- and we ate them immediately, at lightning speed.
We waited in the line, and finally we got up there to see Stacy. She was signing SUPER cute headshots for everyone and when we got to the front of the line Stacy was VERY confused by how to spell the name "Sarai with an I" ..but she eventually understood. ALSO she said that she had checked twitter and seen our tweets, which caused her to write "Sorry for the traffic" on Sarai's picture.. lol. I asked if we could get pictures and Stacy explained to whoever may have been listening that she & I were twitter friends, and then Sarai got a photo with her, .. OH, I should also add that as Stacy came around to the front of the table to take photos with us, she saw my cup and said "What are you drinking?" I replied, very casually, "Cherry Coke. You want some?" She said "Aw I don't like cherry coke" WHICH WAS SO SAD BECAUSE I WAS THAT CLOSE TO HAVING HER DRINK OUT OF MY EFFING STRAW Y'ALL. (For the record, I don't like cherry coke either, but it was the only thing they had that was remotely good)
Anyway, we only got to talk to Stacy for a little while, but it was an AMAZING experience, of course, and a wonderful day, and I would not have changed one bit of it.. except maybe gotten there earlier to avoid traffic. lol.
It was wonderful.
I love Stacy London.
