THE BLONDE PONCHO: Tiger hand touching.

I like to pretend I’m a pretty cool girl. I feel like I can remain calm, cool and collected when faced with any type of situation. And then TYGA came to Winnipeg. Lets just say I lost my cool.

Since we’ve come this far we all know that Jay-Z is number one in my heart. But as of last summer I haven’t been able to get enough of Young Money/Cash Money in my ear. I first became addicted to Birdman (creator, father and all that is holy to Young Money Entertainment) when I moved to Toronto in 2007 and my living quarters supplied BET on the TV. I watched 106 & Park like it was a requirement for every class I was attending at U of T. And throughout this year Birdman was dominating the countdown. POPPIN CHAMPAGNE. Anyways, I began to follow Young Money Entertainment and really got into it last year when Drake, Nicki Minaj and TYGA began reppin’ Young Money.  Obviously Drake’s great, our little Canadian child-star but the man with the tiger stripped pants kept catching my eye. That man was none other than TYGA. Tyga is 21 years old, born in Compton and is Chris Brown’s best friend. Need I say more? YES? Ok then, he’s cute as pie, reps his Cali love daily, has a mash up with Adele and is fully covered in tattoos. Oh! and in some of his earlier videos he had white girls in them.. there’s still hope for me.

Tyga came to Winnipeg on May 29th, only a week after my 22nd birthday. I clearly treated myself to a 40$ ticket and lined up outside of the bar dreaming about our future together. Now HERE is where I loose my cool. I sip on some beer, while the opening act performs. I’m totally aware that I don’t want to be too drunk for the show because I want to  saver every minute of it. I creep to the front of the stage and prepare for Tyga’s arrival. He erupts onto the stage, and I look like a Michael Jackson fan on the day of his funeral. COMPLETE HYSTERICS. Ok it wasn’t that bad, but I definitely wasn’t acting cool. I was rapping along, throwing  my hands in the air and even trying to make DIRECT EYE CONTACT with the TYGA. And yes, I painfully admit I was one of those girl trying to reach out and touch him. NOT COOL. I never really understood why people did this. Like cut through all the bull and I am really into Tyga’s music and am excited to see him perform my favourite songs. I don’t need to touch him.. yet there I was acting a fool hand reaching out towards him. Then he comes to my side of the stage and returns my direct eye contact and interlocks his fingers in mine. Let’s just say I’ve lived a full life now. And then this hand holding happens again. I think in the rap community this means Tyga and I are officially dating? I don’t know I’m still waiting for a text back.
But, sincere apologies to all those who witnessed my hysterics, who stood beside me and listened to me rap, who stood behind me and watched me jump up and down and to my friends who will never hear the end of this. Oh and of course I apologize in advance to anyone who ever shakes my left hand because CLEARLY i’ve decided to never wash it again.
*I need to work on being cooler.
