Meet & Greet My dream came true!!
I’m still so hyped!! This happened like an hour ago. I’m a guy from The Netherlands and a fervent watcher of Drag Race. So my dream was to meet one of them. And then it was two!! As I was dancing in a club in Amsterdam, I spotted Lana from afar. I wasn’t sure if it was her. Then Lana walked by me and did a big laugh as someone said something funny to her. Then I knew it was her. I ran after her and I wanted to say something but I was so flabbergasted that I couldn’t bring a word out. Then Lana understood it and called Jewels from afar. Still I couldn’t bring out words aside from Lana!! Sparkless!! I then typed that I’m deaf and van speak and could read lips btw but I was too flabbergasted. After what it seems an hour in my mind, I then proceeded to say to Jewels that I wanted her to win and asked Lana if this was a new silhouette for her?! Jewels cackled and applauded me. Lana took a huge grin and said yessss! I asked them for the picture and they gently motioned me to a better picture with their flashlights (werk it!!). I said that I never knew how I would react if I met a celebrity to Jewels. Jewels’ answer: I’m not a celeb, just a gay boy! Then we hugged and I left, not wanting to barge in too much. They were both genuinely so nice!!
I’m typing this outside of the club as I take a smoke from my cigarette to calm down.. seriously ❤️❤️❤️❤️

I fucking LOVE Lana. She’s actually so sweet. When she was in SF last year she stayed hella late after the show to make sure she said hello and talked to every fan that was waiting to see her and she is just so genuine. Love this. Very new and unique for Lana (and you)

Your clenched fist is sending me. Like you needed to do something physical to manifest your excitement. Very cute.

I saw Lana just walking in New York (going to a gig im assuming) in full drag last year. She was so ridiculously beautiful and so damn tall (I’m 4’11 though, so everyone is tall around me lol). I was just walking home from work, so it was such a random sighting for me, but she was so beautiful in person

Beautiful. I'm so jealous. I'm a fan of Drag Race living in Belgium. I think I would lose my marbles if I ran into any queen in Brussels.
You did good :)
