I saw Tori many moons ago, on her San Diego, CA date during the Dew Drop Inn tour. The memory is vivid like it were yesterday. The concert itself was awesome, but my favorite memory was waiting for Tori in line at the tour bus after the concert. Her people said she couldn’t sign autographs because her wrists were bothering her that night, but… she still took my concert program, large glossy stock and all, and pressed her lips to one of inner pages for me, leaving a perfect lip-shaped imprint, a memento of that evening.

I still have it, faint shimmer of light pink lip gloss frozen in time. Thank you, Tori.
