Happy Bonfire Night 🎆🎇🧨🤩

Livestreams are still happening thankfully after their popularity during the pandemic! It offers such an amazing opportunity to experience things you never would of had the chance to and then now you can from right in your home.

I attended the first Drama Queens Livestream back in March and it was so fun and great to ‘watch’ the podcast after loving listening to it.

When I saw the Drama Queens were doing a live tour I was so jealous and I’m still keeping my fingers crossed for UK shows in future but I’m so glad there was an opportunity to watch the live show on livestream!

It was amazing to see all the cast interacting on stage and so glad I watched it!

I’m so excited to go to Wilmington from the UK for a convention next week!

Happy Birthday to me

A round up post of the virtual One Tree Hill events that I have done this year. These were so amazing to do as it is my favourite show and experiences that I never would’ve thought I’d get the chance to do!

Back in March Bethany Joy Lenz, Sophia Bush and Hilarie Burton hosted a live episode of their podcast Drama Queens live with special guest Bryan Greenberg.

The event in which you bought a ticket and the money was donated to charity, celebrated the three reuniting on screen for the first time since One Tree Hill. The Drama Queens podcast is based on a talk through of each episode of the show and has been said to be reclaiming the show for themselves.

The event was great as you could watch a natural conversation between friends and as a fan of the show so interesting to hear bits of behind the scenes and different perspectives! This was the second live event of the podcast and new episodes are released weekly, currently in the middle of Season 3 of the show!

It’s a perfect podcast and new project to keep the show living on and for fans to get to relive the show with the people who made it so amazing! Hopefully there will be another live episode in the future!

I also had the chance to have a Cameo Call with Bethany Joy Lenz last month! Essentially a FaceTime call this again was a total fangirl moment for me.

Joy was so genuine and one of the loveliest people ever! The app only allows a 2 minute call and does allow you to take a photo, which we both laughed at, being too in conversation to realise until the last minute! It felt like chatting to a friend which was so lovely!

I was honestly star struck haha as it was an amazing/unexpected experience to have a 1-1 call with Joy who is so positive and talented! It was a fantastic experience! Hopefully I get the chance to meet Joy again virtually or in person as it was such a great experience and she was so kind!

Forever and always my Millie ✨ Happy 17th Birthday love and miss you everyday ❤️

3 whole years Wednesday 💔🐾 miss her every second of every day, love you forever and always Millie ❤️✨

So I’ve had this blog post drafted for a few weeks to do a little round up of seeing my forever favourite not and back together and live in concert again after 8 years. It was honestly one of the best nights ever and I was so happy to be reliving my 2011 teenage fan girl days.

Never did I think I would have to edit this post due to the do tragically sad news that Tom has died from his brain tumour.

Sadly he didn’t make the Newcastle show as he was finishing treatment abroad but he was a huge miss and was definitely sent live throughout the night with spontaneous chanting his name and cheering.

He was such an inspiration and always spoke so positively.

The below videos are one I made of the concert just after and the other is from the concert when everyone was cheering.

The lyrics to Gold Forever seem to hit differently now.

There’s no words for how sad this is and my thoughts go to his family, friends and the boys.
