Jeffree Star


Sunday 15th March

Waiting outside we surveyed the crowds and were disappointed. They were all neon, pink-haired glo-stik noughties kids that were about fourteen years old and overweight. Nice.
I didn't fancy being in that crowd so when we went inside, I sat on a speaker at the side of the stage. It was strictly reserved as a barrier to stop people assaulting the 'celebrities' but no one told me to move so I didn't. The first support act were called Winchouse. They tried and failed to create an atmosphere and the lead was chubby in a stripey top. He tried talking to me afterwards but...no.
Then was 'Synthetic Season'. He had this trippy, bouncy music and used synthesisers to make his voice all intergalactic. He got people dancing which was more than could be said for the others. And he was gorgeous!
Next were Ultraviolet Sound. They were good. I think every red blooded male in the place wanted a piece of Sarah - she had the shortest shorts on I had ever seen and the biggest, squarest earrings I have ever seen. I wanted them. After they finished their set, Sami, the guy with the fringe came over and threw a handful of badges into my hand free of charge and told me to come and say hey after he'd finished clearing away. I was happy then.
And then Jeffree walked onstage. Oh. My. He was more beautiful than I ever could have imagined. the shock of pink and orange hair, pulled back into a swingy side ponytail, the immaculate make-up, pink eyebrows, protruding bones, mini-dress, skyscraper heels and his white flesh, covered completely in ink. He performed some of the stuff off his new EP, 'Cupcakes taste like violence' and some of the old stuff - Eyelash curlers & butcher knives, Ice Cream etc. I could reach out and touch him if I wanted.
After his set, the crowd were wild, the adrenaline finally hitting everyone hard. He walked to the back of the room and every one's pants got a little bit wet at his sheer beauty and attitude. I got a picture with him. It was horrible. Went to chill outside because I couldn't be arsed sucking up to him even more. When I got outside, Sami from Ultraviolet came over to me and said he was heartbroken that I'd forgotten about him so we had a brief chat and then some sound techy guy came over too. Chatted to Sarah of Ultraviolet also. Then Jeffree walked out in black tights and a mini-skirt with knee-high hooker shoes and he walked slowly down the street. No limo, no bodyguards. Fucking yes.
Didn't go to school today. I stayed in bed. Tomorrow I am seeing Claudia and getting a custom made bear off her. xo xo
