Kett - Miss Summer OC - Concert

"If you could meet a famous singer/musician, who would it be and what would you say to them?"

"See, the trick to meeting your favorite bands is to dress like a fool. You can dress up like every other kid at the concert, and that makes you just another girl in the crowd. In wearing an electric blue cocktail dress that your friend Dan made you, with a super tight bodice to hoist up the girls, and a super soft tutu to bounce and twirl when you dance to the music, you can't help but catch the eye of the band. That's how I get to meet singers, at least. I don't know, maybe it wouldn't work for everyone. I mean, if you have any intention of moshing, heels are not the way to go. Especially if they're your new lime-green slingbacks with the hot pink hearts that you promised your mom you wouldn't ruin and you promised your mom you wouldn't jump in a puddle while wearing.

As for me meeting a famous musician, I'd want to meet Cecilia Bartoli. What, you want me to say like, Joel Madden or Billie Joe Armstrong or Jack White or Pete Wentz or something like that? Yes, I enjoy a shitty scene show as much as the next kid, but I have nothing to say to them. I want to tell Cecilia that she has the most gorgeous mezzo soprano sound I've ever heard. And that if I hadn't majored in art, that I'd want to follow in her footsteps as a singer. I did choir for four years in highschool, and I cantor at my parish, but kind of fell out of it. I still listen to all of her stuff, though. Her voice is so moving, and even though I can't speak Italian, I love it. Arc's grandmother, who came here from Italy in 1924 as a baby, grew up speaking Italian around the house, so she always played Italian arias and stuff like that, and that's how I got into this, anyway.

And if I happen to meet Pete Wentz, I'd probably just laugh and walk away."
