So, as you’ve gathered from my last couple of posts, I’m pretty much living and revolving around the Jacksons reunion concert tour. And I’m starting to see the tour is getting ink in several publications. On Twitter, I checked out Halima Rashid’s (Jermaine Jackson’s wife) twitter page and she tweeted about how the LA Times carried a story about the tour. Word is getting out and I like it. Even though I don’t think the buzz will be anything near the Victory Tour of 1984, it’s still pretty cool.
So, today I was watching one of my favorite shows on DVD The Facts of Life. In the third season there’s an episode where Tootie (Kim Fields) is just crazy for Jermaine Jackson and goes into New York to see him in concert. And in watching it, the way Tootie was so wild about Jermaine, I kind of had to take a step back because Tootie was pretty much behaving the way I was about Marlon (And Michael Jackson in a general day.) It kinda wasn’t pretty.
Boy you really can find anything on Google!
Though I’m not to the point of making a papier-mâché bust of Marlon’s head--would he really want a gigantic wad of paper and plaster anyway?--I realized that yeah, I am coming on kind of strong.
Between having already decided pretty much what I’m going wear, down to the accessories, and having a check list of every single damn detail already tacked to my fridge, I found myself now test driving different ways of applying make up to achieve the perfect look. (I had to stop after three tries because my eyes had gotten sensitive--and my look is all about my eyes. )
I realize now I should mellow. And I am mellowing out now…turning my attention back to the things that matter, like my writing for my novel and the MJ (Michael, that is) fan pages and blogging about things that DON’T have to do with the tour.
Life for me happened before any mention of a tour and it will continue after a 2 hour show with four 50-somethings dancing onstage. No need to give myself a migraine over the most minute details.
Funny it took Tootie and Jermaine of all people to make me realize that and reach that conclusion.
But I’m glad anyway. I don’t feel so frantic anymore.
Yeah…I’m calm.
But one word of caution. If Marlon does the “Body Roll” (see the Torture video) or the “Knee Drop” (see the Jacksons MSG segment), somebody will have to pick my ass up off the ground. I’m just saying--that’s some sexy stuff.
