The spotlight was blinding her, so she didn't notice me holding them up. I laid them as far as I could reach, but was still about 6" from her toes. Well FML!!! So I took my phone (the stage was a good 5' high) and pushed the roses about another 6". They were right at her feet then, and she noticed them. But in the meantime!, she had been waving at some ginger boy that was standing next to me, which is partly why she didn't notice. Fkng gingers ruin everything!
But by the end of the show, she didn't collect any of the TWO rose bouquets(a lady gave her the other one) and left the stage. Chris's assistant was out there collecting her things, and the lady started bitching at her, that she wanted them back if Chris wasn't going to take them. Then I asked her if she could the them backstage and give them to Chris. She promised she would.
If course we'll never know... I'm still waiting for Chris to call me. I wrote my number on the back of the card. She has yet to call.. How rude!

Darn gingers! How frustrating for you...I'm sorry. I wondered if you got the roses in, as I thought you mentioned that, yet I'm sad that you didn't get the 'moment' with C.
Interesting about the sparse crowd, as I'm nervous they'll start to cancel shows. However, they both look happy in the videos & I hope they hang in there for the thrill of it. I don't recall ever seeing C so radiant and in the moment, dancing around, etc. What a change from 97!
And, I'm sure she was given /accepted the roses & felt the love!
