Miley Cyrus - Gypsy Heart Tour - My Review

 Well she rocked!! I knew I was excited but I didn't really know what to expect, a fun pop concert most likely. It turned out that wasn't to be. Miley's concert was a rock concert pure and simple. She absolutely knocked it out of the park - Her voice was amazing, the voice of a hard drink'n and smoke'n rocker twice her age, powerful and perfectly suited to the rock feel of the show. 'Every Rose Has It's Thorns' showcasing her voice and her ability to pull off a killer power ballad.

A highlight for me was her Joan Jett nod - I Love Rock n Roll, followed by Cherry Bomb and Bad Reputation! Joan would have been proud.

She managed to incorporate most of her hits which kept the younger audience happy - as evidenced by the insane volume of their appreciation, but for those who had left our teens behind (way behind for some of us) her rendition of Teen Spirit by Nirvana was a risky but ultimately perfect addition to the set list. What a gutsy choice - an iconic song by an iconic band - she absolutely owned it and proved she is a talent well beyond her years.

I look forward to seeing where she goes from here and what direction she takes her career - My tip is that the pop will slowly disappear to be replaced by a pure Rock goddess. Nice work Miley.

Oh and this was nine year old Gidget's first concert - I think she loved it!  I had a spare ticket and she was more than willing to be my date for the night.
 

Funnest Night Ever -or- High School Musical Premiere

I haven't had time to blog as I have been way too busy attending Movie Premieres and walking red carpets!!!

I know - how fun!

I am a virgin at the red carpet and what better movie to lose my virginity to than High School Musical 3? So appropriate really.

My equally sad and daggy friend (you may know who I am talking about) had two tickets to the Melbourne premiere and knowing just how much I would love it, took me along to share the joy.

I can not even begin to tell you how much fun we had! In fact I get all smiley just thinking about it... This is the red carpet. Screaming fans, flash bulbs, screaming fans, etc etc. For a brief and shining moment I felt kind of famous.

On entering the theatre we scored the two front row seats, smack in the middle. Not so good for movie viewing you may be thinking, but Oh so good for star viewing!!!

Here are Ashley Tisdale (Sharpai) and Vanessa Hudgens (Gabriella) literally 4 foot from us. It was surreal.

The best was yet to come!!!

Within lunging distance stood THIS MAN....... The delicious Zac Efron (Troy, or Link if you are a Hairspray fan)

I really think my dear friend was concerned that I may try to make a grab for him! I took this photo without a zoom so you can see how close we were. Sigh!!!!

It was a fabulous, hilarious, night and to top it all off the movie was everything it should have been.

And for those of you who aren't sharing the Zac love - here are a few shots to give you an idea of why I was fairly pleased to be sharing the same air with him. Enjoy.
