My night with MIKA

 I have so much to tell you all, I had an unforgettable experience that I want to share with you!

This experience was life changing for me and I hope for all of you!

Monique, Jenn and I met with MIKA at his Record release party Monday night in Hollywood !

 On my way in I met Danny Bonaduce and yes he is built and hot! There was a huge line outside and we were sent in early as VIP’s!  There I met Perez Hilton and we talked for quite a while. I am a huge fan; he was very easy to talk with and told me how he loved our song, “Big Girl”!  Then in walked Andy Dick who approached Perez and we all chatted. The press hit us and cameras were flashing like crazy! At this point I was thinking OMG this is crazy! Here I am standing with 2 stars and all I can see are flashes lol

 MIKA came out and performed 4 songs and I have to tell you all he sounds excellent live! I have been to tons of concerts and have been let down many times by live performances but not this night! After the show the crowd was sent outside I was able to meet with MIKA. I went to shake his hand and found that instead we were hugging.

 He grabbed both of my shoulders and said to me, “I wrote you this song; Big Girl (you are beautiful) this is your song!” 

We talked about the BBC special I had done years ago with Victoria Wood. He told me how he was watching the show and we both agreed that in the beginning of the show it seemed as though they were talking about how being overweight was something to be ashamed of. Then he said to me when they got to the part where The Butterfly Lounge was featured how the show took a turn and sent a message to everyone saying, “Love yourself for who you are!” He told me he was so inspired that he started writing our song right then! At this point the media was all over MIKA and I, you never would believe how blinded one could get from so many flashes. It was a moment I will never forget; He gave me tons of signed posters and a few full CD’s for the nightclub. He told me he is there for us! I have to say MIKA has a huge heart and it as genuine as they come! He is absolutely adorable, just an FYI for those of you who want too know. He told me that as soon as his schedule opens up that he will be personally visiting our nightclub! (Looks like it will be sometime in April) He also asked for our logo and is having shirts printed out and will be wearing them very soon!!!

 I then spoke with his mother who said to me; “Thank you for creating such a wonderful nightclub and how pleased she was that MIKA was able to write such a beautiful song!”  We took a few photos together and she told me that her and MIKA will be visiting our nightclub very soon. There is a picture of us on the Butterfly Lounge website.
 
All in all it was an AWESOME night for us all, as well as The Size Acceptance Community!

Now there is a very positive song out there BIG GIRLS YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL!!!  (As stated in the song)

 His new record; “Life in Cartoon Motion” is now available in the US and he is hitting the circuit via television and radio!

Much love to you all,
Kathleen
