Today is my TENTH year Monster Ball anniversary

[Spock 20,290]

Ten years ago today, little 16 year old baby gay me was at the O2 with my sister, where my wig was completely DESTROYED by Gaga and the forever iconic and unsurpassed (yes, unsurpassed) Monster Ball Tour  Vanity was still on the setlist, You and I wouldn't be added in until months later, Pepper hadn't left the show yet.. so many memories! I can still remember the electricity in the air, literally EVERYONE was shaking and aware of the cultural reset they were witnessing

I am so thankful I got to go because this show was genuinely a before and after moment for me, and literally changed my life forever. I had never seen anything like that before and it was such a liberating experience that shook me to the core. The slayage was just too much, and I remember I couldn't put into words how purely and simply SLAYED I was. I have been lucky enough to have seen all of my faves and their different tours, but none of those experiences even come close to this one (Kylie's Aphrodite Les Folies maybe, but for different reasons).

I was obsessed with her before seeing her, but this show sealed the deal and was the beginning of a truly incredible ten years of pure stanning. Ten years full of ups and downs, being proud, more slayages, disappointments, happiness, a Joanne era, sadness and everything in between, and I would not have had it another way. It really is crazy that in 10 years there still hasn't been a debut tour as successful and as impactful as this one

and the fact that this is happening on Chromatica release weekend is just  

here's to another 10 years!

19. It was my first time seeing her and I got there early with my mate (well at the time I thought it was early) and queued up for ages.

I did that concert on hardly any food or drink. I don't know how I didn't pass out  Just running on adrenaline. 

I don't have many decent pictures. I took them on a rubbish camera. I'm lucky as I uploaded them all to Facebook the minute I got home.
