Great review Vic! And it was nice meeting you in Vegas! At first when you came up to us and introduced yourself I was like whoooo? I probably looked like an idiot trying to figure out who you were.
<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Thanks, guys!!! :giggle: The pleasure was mine, likewise. It was so nice to finally be able to put a face to each one's signature. I don't think I could ever call Sophoan anything but LOVE And to think that he and I live around the corner from each other :clap: Call me if you're in the mood for sushi or just to hang out and talk Celine! :thumbsup2:

Lawna- how can I not know you? You're Giada's good friend and I've met her and was so impressed with her tatoo! Tell her I said hi next time you are in touch with her.

We all share a special bond, thanks to Celine! :flowers: More good times ahead............

Yes, Koolan, it was very nice to have met you! Awesome review! It's a good thing I went shopping that day, or else I would not have bumped into Ramona, who told me about you being in Vegas. She's so sweet

BTW, we DID take a picture together... but I know you want to remain incognito!
<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Ramona is so wonderful! At first I was a little nervous to go up to her, you know she is RAMONA! haha. But once I did, I introduced myself as Lawna from the Forum and she was more than welcoming! She immediately introduced me to Koolan and I was shocked! I was like "What!?!?! Koolan! Vic!?!??!" OMG! haha. And me and Vic had a little chat...I felt so in sync with everyone. It was so nice to see everyone and once again I will reiterate how sweet of a lady Ramona is, I gave her a hug when I was leaving the Colesseum and she gave me a warm kiss on my cheek...I felt so accepted I also felt very accepted by Vic as well...It felt so normal just to hug everyone... I miss you all!

:blushing:

Dearest Ramona - I heard from various sources that you live in Las Vegas, and then - you live in LA, BUT it was SO NICE to hear directly from you that you live so close to me! WE ARE NEIGHBORS! Yes, let's have dinner and hang out some time; sushi, teriyaki salmon, Japanese salad, or anything - I'll eat most things ( :giggle: ). - Love!

And in that picture:

Tatiana, now I remember you! We did meet, but very briefly: for a hug! Hopefully, we could get acquainted soon. Also, I missed Estevam, who was quite elusive. :giggle:

January 25, 2007 at 09:08 PM

Well, I can't really add much to Vic's review. He just did SO good!

I can add my expierence with Celine though...

She walked in the room, and oh my gosh I honestly felt like I was dreaming. :in_love: She was gorgeous! She was so sweet...so warm...and so welcoming.

She said hello to everyone and then spoke in French with a fan and her friend. They gave her a gift and then took a picture together with her. Next was Ramona's turn...

Patrick introduced Ramona and said she's seen the show 83 times tonight (which later we discovered that it was actually 84 times...). Celine kind of threw her hand up in the air and said..."I know Ramona..." Then she gave some silly faces because she was so shocked that Ramona had been there so many times. She pulled Ramona off to the side..saying, "Ramona, come here..." "let me just ask you ONE questions....WHHHHHY?" It was so funny and so cute! Ramona just responded with, "Because I love you!" Then she went on to explain that she is very close to Las Vegas and her children are grown and they are on their own now. And that she just feels so welcomed at the Colosseum by Celine and her cast members, almost like it's her home. It was sweet. They talked a little more, making silly jokes and such. Ramona gave Celine a present and then took a picture with her.

Then Celine came to me and Patrick said this is Angela. Celine held both of my hands and said "Hi, Angela...I see you in the show ALL the time!" :w00t: She noticed me! I was so pleased with that comment! I just nodded my head, and said..." yeeeeaaa..." I was pretty much speechless. :wub:

She talked with Vic ( what he posted ). Then we all took our picture together! It was the most special moment EVER! I will never forget it!

Just one more thing...Ramona - you're the best! None of this would have happened without you! :flowers:

Pictures added in a minute....

January 26, 2007 at 01:31 AM

One final tidbit: on sunday's show during RDMH, you could see some of the hair on the lower part of Celine's legs. whoever shaved her did a half-#ss job.
<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

I just had a random burst of laughter! Are you sure that person who shaved wasn't Celine? :lmao:

January 26, 2007 at 01:32 AM

January 26, 2007 at 02:04 AM

Hey lady!

January 26, 2007 at 04:26 AM

OK, I think I can calm myself down enough to sit here and write a review of my experience...here goes!

January 19, 2007 - I left Los Angeles at 3pm thinking I had PLENTY of time getting to Las Vegas. One hour later I had only gone 20 miles and wasn't even outside LA, I started sweating...7:45 pm and miles and miles from Vegas I started panicking! Luckily, I had a radar detector and didnt pass any cops :msn-wink: I arrived at Caesars right at 8pm and RAN to the box office. There were a few people selling tix at half price, and one man selling ORCH 5 HH for $100...but I didnt even have $100 cash! 5 minutes til show time he asked how much cash I had...uh....$46!! He took it and I took my Orch 5 HH and headed to the show!

THE SHOW: The show was AMAZING as others have posted. I admit I was jealous because NO ONE in my section was standing up or cheering. I had a wonderful view of all of the Orch 4 Celine fans dancing and yelling and singing....and had to stand by myself during all the fast songs :confused: Luckily, my seat was right by Mego and the two singers, so they gave me lots of attention!

January 20, 2007 - We spent most of the day filming for Ramona's video. She was one of the lucky ones interviewed for the DVD and we traveled around Lake Las Vegas filming our day!

BEFORE THE SHOW: Minutes before the chosen few were taken backstage for their interviews, I found out that I would also get to go as a guest.....to meet Celine! Well, so we thought :ermm: Nadia then told us that Celine was not doing any meet and greets that night, but we would just be asked a few questions. I totally believed her! The cameras were turned on and Patrick led us backstage. Once downstairs, Patrick told us that not only was the green room where the interviews take place, but that is where we would also be meeting Celine! AH! I think we were all too shocked because we didnt scream or clap...we were frozen!

MEET AND GREET: We sat around the green room for what felt like forever...The super nice producers asked us questions and they even pretended to be Celine. It was really cute b/c the lady "playing Celine" knocked on the door and we started laughing and Patrick said..."Uhh...Celine doesn't knock." Another really cute thing was that the producer had to keep telling us to breathe! We were still in our frozen, shocked state. When Celine came in, we all rose and quickly got into our line. You heard Angela's story w/ Celine and Ramona...it was really cute to see them together and to hear Celine ask Ramona why she sees the show so many times! Celine was asking everyone how many times they had seen the show, and then started laughing and said - "I can't meet any fans who havent seen the show before!" I guess everyone who had been meeting her that week had seen it so many times!!

MY MOMENT WITH CELINE: I was after Tatiana, who literally froze when Celine started talking to her. Celine turned to me and I introduced myself...LUCKILY I always take my pic w/ Celine from FANatic just in case I ever get to meet her again! I told her who I was and that when I was 16 years old I was picked to meet and interview her for an Mtv show called FANatic. She looked down at the picture and stared at it for a few seconds, then gasped and said "I remember this!" I told her that she encouraged me to go for all my dreams and that now I am living out my dreams and I'm working in Hollywood! She took the picture from me and looked at it closely...then said, "I really remember this! You came and met me in my dressing room." We got a picture together and then she said, "Where is the photo?" So I handed her the FANatic pic and she held it up and we got our picture with it! I think she gave me a hug then but I can't remember! But she said Congratulations 2 or 3 times and then I was whisked away to the show!

I always wondered if Celine would remember me...FANatic was a long time ago and she meets so many people every day. I am so happy that she remembered and I am so happy that I was able to thank her for her encouragement and tell her that I am living out my dreams!

THE SHOW: The show on Saturday night was THE BEST performance I have ever seen. I was sitting w/ the Holland gang in Orch 4 CC. Celine was non-stop eye contact and you could tell she was loving the crowd as much as we were loving her! I noticed she also got really emotional throughout the show.

AFTER THE SHOW: Saturday night, we all gathered together and ate at Cypress. I was so nice to meet so many fans from around the world...and it was really funny because so many people remembered me from FANatic. We even broke out into that stupid cheer! LMAO - I'll never live that down I guess!

January 21, 2007 - The final day w/ Celine. I was able to get an Orch 4 FF seat and sat with Anu from Finland! We had a blast dancing and singing. Again, Orch 4 was the best audience and Celine was having so much fun! It was also really great to see Rene (who had been playing poker the other nights) - and yes, the headphones WERE HUGE. My favorite part was when we were giving him applause and he pretended to beat his chest and hold out his arms like Celine! The show was over soooo fast and I had to jet out of there and drive back to LA. I kept reliving my experience the whole drive home. I got home around 2:30 am and was soooo tired at work on Monday but SOOO thankful I stayed for the show on Sunday!

Well, I hope my ramblings made some sense....and I can't wait for the reunion in December!

Love,

Kimberly

January 26, 2007 at 02:37 PM

MY MOMENT WITH CELINE: I was after Tatiana, who literally froze when Celine started talking to her. Celine turned to me and I introduced myself..
<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

HAHAHAHAHAHA I was VERY shy! lol I'm a super shy person - it happens a lot when I meet someone for the first time.

I really can't remember why she stop talking to me LOL actually I don't remember Celine talking to me... LOL lmao I remember she shaked my hands and I coudln't stop looking into her eyes! LOL LMAO You were supposed to be after me right? I guess I was so quite/shy there that Celine decided to go over you let's me waiting a bit LMAO to relax HAHAHAHAAHAhaha

I'll never forget her smile when she read 'petite fleur' she's my petite fleur forever! :flowers:

Each time I read our meeting review .. I see everything again and the funniest thing is that I remember everyone meeting before me - less mine!!! LOL :msn-tongue:
