OOTE 9.22.09: THE CHER CONCERT

Let me just start off by saying that I have very fond childhood memories of The Sonny and Cher show. I looked up to Cher for being just so glamorous, talented, and funny. My mom tells me that when I was little I cried and cried when I found out they were getting divorced.

So, when my husband told me to pick a show for our Vegas trip and I saw that Cher was at The Coliseum, I was really excited and he went online a couple months ago to get the best tickets we could. We ordered Orchestra seats and best available were around the 10th row, slightly off to the side. Great seats in a venue that seats about 4,000 and I was very excited.

So, on Tuesday night, we have a fabulous dinner at Bobby Flay's Mesa Grill and then head over to Will Call to pick up our tickets. The lady is looking up our seats and checking Hubby's ID when the manager standing next to her looks at me and lets me know that:

OK. Some front row seats have just opened. Now, she (that would be Cher) is going to be looking right at us and if we have energy and are excited about this show he'd change out our seats. I asked him if he was kidding and, no, he was not. At this point I am so excited I don't know whether to squeal or cry. I really don't quote Rachel Zoe that much, but at that moment, I die. DIE.

We're escorted to our front row, center seats by a nice lady who says we got the "catcher seats" (if she falls, we catch her). The fan sitting next to me introduces us to some other people in the front and second row. One of the dancers did in fact fall in my husbands lap but it was staged.

Well the show was amazing. Cher was beautiful and put on a fabulous show. Her toenail polish looked like a pretty coral and her eyeshadow was sparkly pink. I was so beside myself the entire show I seriously almost cried a couple times. Anyway, I realize this is not a Cher fan blog and I am here to post my outfit but I just had to say.

So, anyway, here's what I wore:

ATL dress, Target peeptoe pumps, Anthropologie earrings, Michele watch, LV Eva clutch

Hubby was having some camera difficulties

I have one more Vegas outfit to post, along with some city & shopping venue pics & the wax museum. Total touristy fun.
