OMG you guys today was AMAZING!!! It was all about my girl BRITNEY SPEARS!!! You guys know how much I love Britney and how excited I was for this show, and it totally lived up to all my expectations. I was so very fortunate to have my BFF Alex come into town to go to the show with me, and I really can’t think of anyone I would have had more fun with. We started the day by hitting up H&M to get some awesome (and cheap!) Britney outfits. There’s a huge H&M in University Village by UW, and I swear we’d walked through almost all of it without seeing anything that was right for the show. We were so disappointed. But THEN we saw these little tutu skirts and colored jackets, and we were like, “Bingo.” We picked up little tube tops to go underneath the jackets, and we were good to go. Perfect Britney Spears outfits, and matchy without being totally matched. I swung by the wig shop near Pike Place that some of you recommended, and they had a perfect little pink wig (although I did have to cut it into a pseudo-bob). We were golden. We went home and got started on getting dressed and makeup. Of course this took waaaay longer than we expected, and by the time we hit the road it was much later than I’d hoped. Plus, traffic down to Tacoma was terrible — I think it took us an hour and a half to go 30 miles. We didn’t even get to the Tacoma Dome until 6 pm. The VIP Experience stuff was at 4:15, and I was bummed that we’d missed it, until we picked up our tickets at Will Call and found out that we had some other type of VIP tickets. It wasn’t the one with the tour anyway, so it was just as well that we’d been super late.
Alex’s fake eyelashes were falling off, and, in our rush, we’d forgotten to pack the eyelash glue. We wandered around looking for other girls wearing fake eyelashes and asked them if they’d brought glue, but no one had. At last, we spotted a drag queen performing with the Movin 92.5 van. “She will have eyelash glue!” I announced. We went up and asked her after her set, and she was like, “Yes of COURSE I do!” and she ran into the van and let us borrow it. She turned out to be Gaysha Starr, an icon on the Seattle drag scene. Here’s a hot pic of her performing before the show:
We decided to grab dinner at the restaurant at the Tacoma Dome, and I was really surprised after an hour of people-watching how few people dressed up. I guess I’m not in LA anymore. Most people were just wearing jeans and a T-shirt. I’m so used to Los Angeles, where you basically wear a costume just to go to a show. I was sporting my pink wig, and everyone complimented it, and some girls actually asked to take a photo with me. The wig was a TOTAL hit. Thanks to the commenter who suggested it. Great idea.
We got to our seats just as the Pussy Cat Dolls were going on — of course, the show started an hour later than scheduled. I have to say, the theater was packed, waaay more full than a theater usually is for an opening act. Nicole Scherzinger & Co put on a good show. I don’t think I fully understood that the Pussy Cat Dolls are basically Nicole and four backup dancers. I mean, no one else really sings at all. I always figured they split up the solos. Not true. It’s all just Nicole. I’m not even really sure why those other girls were there. I kind of felt bad for them.
PCD did a really short set, probably only 4 or 5 songs. I wonder if that’s because they started so late or if that’s how it always is. I figured that after their set we’d have at least an hour or so before Britney, but they got her on pretty quick, like only 20 minutes later. And Britney. Was. Amazing. I mean, the show was just incredible. The audience was on their feet the entire time. The whole stadium was standing for the whole show. The choreography and the effects were stellar, and I have to say that Britney was damn sexy. Her butt cheeks were hanging out pretty much the entire time (but never her pussy!) and she totally rocked all those outfits. And she works hard. That is a tough show to do night after night. I’m very impressed with her. Her dancers and acrobats are equally amazing. Everyone on the stage was just working their asses off. I even felt sometimes like the dancers were working harder than Britney, but of course all eyes were on Brit. We definitely felt like we got our money’s worth. I was just up on my feet dancing and shouting the whole time. I’m sooo not going to have a voice tomorrow.
I also have to say that the videos they showed up on the big screen were amazing, soooo sexy and fun and really brilliantly edited. Whoever did those should get a raise. Right before the encore they did a fantastic montage of all the greatest moments from Britney’s music videos. They even showed the scene in “Toxic” where Britney’s making out with my gorgeous sexy friend, Matt Felker (who refuses to be anything more than friends with me, because he is infuriating like that). I texted him: “Do you know you’re in the Britney show?” He said: “Yes, I’ve heard. Blog about how she should PAY ME for it.” So there ya go, Matt. Blogged. Sex now?
I took a bunch of video for you guys to watch, for those of you who won’t get a chance to see the actual show. The zoom feature on my new camera works wonders. Thanks to everyone on Twitter who helped me pick it out. I don’t know if Britney’s camp will demand they be taken down, so watch ’em while you can in case I get a complaint and Veoh shuts down my entire account with no warning, like YouTube did last year. And when you hear someone in the background screaming like a banshee and discussing the asses of the back-up dancers, that’s me. When you hear someone singing really off-key, that’s not me. It’s the girl behind me. Promise. The videos are after the jump, along with more photos.
I thought you said you had chubby arms???
Your arms look great… especially in that picture where you are flashing your pits.
I said PITS assholes, put your dicks away!
Who needs Brit when Beet is bustin out… Nice cans Beet!!!
Beet! Looking sweet! Good enough to eat! What a treat!
And thus ends my rhyming… You do look great Beet! Love you! Glad you had fun!!!!!
So glad you had such a great time! The stage and pyrotechnics and acrobats, etc look amazing. Wish Britney did more dancing, like old-school Britney dancing, though…from what I could see…
Are you KIDDING me? 90% of DC was dressed up for the Britney show! Shame on you Tacoma. And PC Dolls did like 10 songs (9 too many). I also noticed that Brit didn’t seem too into it… the dancers were definitely working way harder than her. Still an impressive show though, regardless. Glad you had a good time… you looked cute! :)
Woah that hair totally suits you XD
That looks so fun!
I love that I recognised all your HM gear right away (I’m Swedish and shop all my clothes there, I even have that same white had your friend is wearing), and I totally want that pink jacket.
You both look awesome, glad you had such a blast, you totally deserve it!
Sounds like you had an awesome time =D
You look great BTW =)
Omg beet, u and ur friend look great!! And I’m so glad u guys had so much fun! I’ve always wanted to see a Brit show, I absolutely love her haha.
awesome! i cant for the anaheim show!! what would be a guy appropriate costume for the show??
TRUCKER HAT
umm, how about a tiara and boa feather scarf like all the other boys that go to britney concerts.
i know i know, i’m mean, shut up! I know!!!
Nice RACK!!!!!!!!!!!!
Seriously….you had the nerve to say Jimmy Fallon’s wife has fat arms….
Seriously? Are we not over that? Shut up you fat bitter person.
OMG ALLISON. you are so funny. I bet everyone think you are funny and cool. you are just so hilarious and witty and wonderful.
Pleeeeeeease tell me what camera you are using. It would fill today with sunshine for me! Please!
You look beautiful and healthy and fun Beet! Go girly!
It is a Panasonic Lumix. I love it!!!
looks like you had a blast. i still hope britney is not working too hard.
did you hear the rumblings about britney and kevin getting back together on tour??
I just avoided a week of Miley Cyrus as much as possible on GMA. Seriously, BS is a sexy android, and nothing more. Don’t you think? I hope that little bitches don’t aspire to her, Miley, Demi, whatever.
Sasha you are gorgeous! and veoh doesn’t work in hungary so i’m dying just trying to imagine what your experience with brit was like. wahh.
Maybe I’m old fashioned but why would anybody want to go to a concert where the performer is lip-syncing the entire time? Shouldn’t a concert actually have the person, oh I don’t know… singing? I’d be pretty pissed if a band I went to see live just danced around to their own music while moving their mouth to the lyrics. I guess if you go to a Britney concert you kinda know what your in for though.
Oh well, at least you had a good time. I guess that’s all that matters.
i didn’t see britney’s show, but i am going to see X tonight. and i think that makes me cooler ;)
Beet – you look so cute! Congrats on realizing your dream of attending a Britney concert. Thanks for the concert rundown – it’s almost like I was there!
Lookin good ladies! Actually that bob looks really good on you :). Hope you enjoyed some of that free cotton candy.
That was literally the most amazing show I have ever been to in my entire life. The only thing I was upset about was that the rumors about a live elephant proved to be false :[
is that you in your icon picture? it looks nothing like you in these pics.
Instead of the wig you should have shaved your head and walked around with an umbrella smashing cars in the parking lot. That would have been the true Britney Spears.
Let her live alone on her own again and in 6 months she would be back on crack and screwing the paparazzi again.
Sasha, you look amazing in that wig. SRSLY. You would look incredible with very blonde hair cut like that. Unless you wanted to just go with the pink, so not fair that a cheap wig is flattering on you, but makes me look like a troll doll.
Aww, you look great. Makes me jealous I can’t get to a Britney show due to geographical issues LOL. I want to know what the wig looked like before you cut it. ;o
Beet, you should totally cut your hair like that. Maybe not so short but the bangs are adorable. Glad you had fun!
The problem with that theory is that my hair is really, really fine. So it wouldn’t look like this awesome hair explosion. It would just look like I was an 8-year-old boy.
I Hate You!
I’m So Jealous!!!!!!!!!!!
Too Bad Britney Won’t Be Coming to The Middle East!
Sob….Sob…Sniff….
You Rock!
And to Those of You Saying Britney Will Revert Back to he Wacky Ways, Get A Life!
Are you not glad that she’s beyond those crazy antics?
Come On!
So Sick Of you To Always Expect people To Eff Up!
We All Deserve A New Beginning!
Be Happy That Somebody-like Britney is Starting to Restore the Order in Her Life!
Some People Can Be So Nasty!
Must Be Bitter & bored With Their Own Lives!
Ha!
lol. I don’t know why, but random capitalization always cracks me up.
Looks good but I’m not impressed. I’d be impressed if she had the nerve to sing at her own concert but whatever, it’s britney bitch ;)
too………………………many………………………………jokes…………………….
So that’s what celebrity wannabe media whores look like when they go to concerts? Totally awesome.
So awesome Beet!! im glad you had such a great time. And i LOVE the outfits you guys got!!! the tutus are soooooo cute, i want one!!!
Beet! Normally, I don’t think you look that pretty because of your big forehead, but you looked smashing! Your skin is glowing and you look HOT! You should consider going for some bangs…it makes you look amazing. Looks like you had a blast at the concert. Good for you!
Lovely, with great boobs, nice.
EB said “Brit’s butt cheeks were hangin’ out during most of the show!”. FUCK YAAA! Britney’s ass makes me pull out my dick so i can ROCK OUT WITH MY COCK OUT!!!!! Luv ya Brit! ……. you hot and crazy jizz guzzlin’ Hollywood anal cumdumpstress!!!
Truly actually very good web site article which has got me considering. I never looked at this from your point of view.
