Love Me Tender

Last night I attended the Polysics concert in Toronto. It was amazing! Two bands went on before them but it was worth the wait. The performed mostly songs from their latest cd, We Ate The Machine [stream the music here]. They performed in Montreal yesterday and they’ll be in London tomorrow. I’m tempted to drive down to London just so that I can see them again.

We were really lucky last night. I got to meet Hiro (lead singer) twice! Once before they went on and after they finished. The first time I had to stare at him for a while to determine whether it was him (he wasn’t wearing the black glasses). I finally got up the courage to ask him and when he said yes I contained my fangirl squeals and asked if he would take a picture with me and my sister. He agreed and even shook my hand after. He’s such a nice guy and really attractive. I hadn’t really noticed before until I saw him in person. Maybe I’m just smitten because I was actually in his presence. Haha…*cough*.

Anyway, we had a good time and I can’t wait until they come back for another performance. Here is another review of the concert and some pics I took. POLYSICS OR DIE!!!

PLEASE DO NOT TAKE THESE PICTURES WITHOUT MY PERMISSION.

I’ve been wondering how I should glamour up for these upcoming concerts - mostly Polysics and Dir en Grey because who the hell cares what I look like for Jay Chou. I still need to figure out what to wear to the first two but at least I know how I will do my makeup for Polysics. I tried out a version of it last night and it looks pretty awesome.

This is a look called Chock-Ful by MAC Cosmetics. This look is part of their “Cult of Cherry” line of looks. Isn’t it fun? If you want to know what products in particular you need to create this look you can read about it here. I haven’t actually been to a concert like how the Polysics of DEG concerts will be so I’m hoping that the makeup won’t melt off my face by the end of the night. It might add to the effect though, especially for DEG. =D

I’m not sure what it is about awesome Asian artists coming to Toronto at the end of 2008, but it’s great (aside from killing my wallet). In addition to the Dir En Grey concert on November 16 and the Jay Chou concert on December 18, I am now also going to the Polysics concert on November 5. The last time they were in Toronto was in 2005. I’m so excited! I can’t believe how spoiled I am for being able to go see so many people that I love. *squee*
