“For the past (4) years I have been a big fan of Rihanna and I have seen her grow and become such a big star. The thought of meeting her never seemed possible so it never crossed my mind. That obviously changed on June 29 when I spotted her leaving the Staples Center. My friends and I shouted her name with the hope she might respond. She looked at us and had her driver stop the car. At that moment, my heart sunk and I thought “This is it. My once in a life time dream of meeting my idol was about to happen.” As she stepped out of the car, I literally felt like she was coming out of a music video and it felt surreal. My eyes blurred and I felt like I had to readjust them every five seconds. My friends immediately swarmed her with hugs as I watched and admired her from a distance. At that moment she called me over and hugged me. She said “I like your dress.” Then she quoted what I had tweeted her earlier, which made me feel special because she remembered me. We took a few pictures together and we said our goodbye’s. As soon as she left all the things I wanted to tell her poured in my mind, but it was too late. I know I will see her again. My overall experience was amazing. The concert was GREAT and meeting her was beyond words. SO thank you Rihanna :)”

“I am a very dedicated Rihanna fan since day 1. I have followed her career throughout the years and have no shame emulating her look and style. A great artist and celebrity appreciates that sort of thing. I was in the ANAHEIM show last night (June 29) and purchased the “On Stage” ticket hoping to grab her attention and hopefully getting a lapdance. I’ve tried to mention myself to her on Twitter, hoping she would spot me at the show. I just got my red hair extensions so it can be really long and decided to wear my cherry headband (the same one Rihanna wore in S&M) so I can stand out. I started to get nervous once Rihanna started performing “Skin”. I put so much energy trying to grab her attention since everyone on my section tried to do the same thing. She started walking to my section and instantly spotted me. I beleie she was trying to tease me since she was trying to not look at me but she gave in. She started laughing, pointed and said “I GOT TO PICK MY BOO!”. At that moment, I was numb. I jumped on stage and started sashaying onto the bed. People were screaming since I dressed like Rihanna that evening. I was teasing Rihanna and pointed her to come to me since I knew what was going to happen. She pushed me to lay down and jumped on top, and started grinding. I was so nervous, I started laughing, which made her start laughing too. She grabbed my hands and rubbed it all over her body, which made me more nervous and numb. I said “Thank you so much Mama!” and she replied “NO THANK YOU!”. At that moment, I knew she appreciated the fact that I try to go above and beyond for her. The bodyguard whisked me away through the dancers who stopped and stared at my cherry headband and I was sent back to my section in a state of shock! Everyone was cheering for me and once the show was over, people were asking if it was planned or if it was staged since I dressed like Rihanna. I would respond “It wasn’t staged but I planned to grab her attention all night!” It was one of those moments I will always cherish! It goes to show that Rihanna LOVES her NAVY!!”
