Hands down we have all wanted to be someone else at one point or another. Some of us have wanted to be Britney Spears or Halle Berry. For me it has always been one person. It is a celebrity which most people wouldn't give a second thought to. She isn't ultra famous but her name precedes her. She is a rock and roll princess, hell songs have been made for her! Zoe Kravitz!!
Wow!! She is my all time favorite person ever! I've been her biggest fan for as long as I can remember. I know all her songs, I use to shop in similar places she did to try and emulate her style and type of sophistication/gungy look. She doesn't care what anyone thinks she sets her own trend. She's an actress/singer and student. She goes to school in New York and does most of her films during the summer. Of course her name rings multiple bells because she is the daughter of Lenny Kravitz, a musical genius and Lisa Bonet.
In terms of her style, she can be disheveled at times but that's her, she doesn't care what anyone thinks, much like me. I take much of my sense of self and relate with her on that level.
I got the priviledge of seeing her perform in a store in NYC two summers ago. I was sitting down while she was doing her mic check (me and two others waited while she warmed up). Her managers announced it would be awhile so I sat down and pretended to text someone, in reality I was masking how alone I felt being there all by myself. I thought there'd be a mass amount of ppl and I'd get lost in the crowd, I was wrong. As I sat down, she came over to me and said Hi! I was so shocked and happy all at once! We talked for awhile and even took a picture. Once that was over she and the rest of her band said they were performing and wanted me to come the very next weekend. I was like "I'll be there."
It ended up to be the greatest concert ever. I came by myself and her manager waved at me. Two minutes later he came outside, pointed at me and told me to come. I skipped 50 people, they opened the door for me and gave me a VIP seat. Little did I know Zoe herself requested that I be given a seat. She and her bandmates walked in, handed me drinks, we chatted all night and she performed. I danced, sang and made friends with her. Best Night Ever! Believe it or not, I still keep in touch with her managers who once told me Zoe and her entourage seen me and automatically seen a strong resemblance between us. I was so flattered, on the inside I was shouting aaahhh!!..Best Day Ever!
These are some of my pics. I told my friends (the same friends that didn't want to go with me!) what happened and they all were absolutely jealous. As of right now, I know I'll never be her..of course not..lol..but it wouldn't hurt to be her friend. When I spoke to her she was so humble and down to earth.
Do I envy her? Uuuhh..yeah! Do I still want to be her? No, not so much.
Of course she's glamourous and a full blown musical princess but her life isn't as perfect as I once thought. She's not perfect, she told me she has a bunch of people publicly bashing her looks, style, etc on public mediums. I get called names constantly on youtube and just laugh it off because essentially those that are calling me names are nobodies. They hold no positions or titles. Those that bash her work for magazines, famous blogs, etc. That would be utterly humiliating for anyone to endure.
Right now she's living her life. Being who she wants and doing what she wants, such as I am. She is a lovely person inside and out, in another life I'd reincarnate myself to be her but for now I'm having fun just being me.
