Well, ladies, it was one year ago today (10/1), we all experienced a dream come true. We experienced (and lived thru) meeting Mr. Barry Manilow.
I have told you all before how very much that special night meant to me and how it was made even that more special being able to share it with all of you.
The Platinum Experience was an opportunity that I thought would never happen for me. We worried for months about how it was going to go, how we would hold up, what would we say, what would we wear?!?!?!!? And of course, there was my little "panic attack" in the waiting room. Oh, the stress!!!!!!
But it was well worth it. To be able to sit in the same room with THE most talented person in the world, talking about music and every day stuff was amazing. He is so very kind, genuine, and caring. There was no "star" or "BARRY MANILOW" feel in that room--it was more like Barry Manilow, the guy who lives next door. Definitely, a man you would be proud to bring home to your parents.
I thank Barry, Stiletto, and the BMIFC for this incredibly generous opportunity. I'm not sure if you realize just how much these opportunities mean to Barry's fans (probably because there are no words to describe it). It may seem like a small gesture to you, but to us, it is truly (and literally) a dream come true.
My life has become that more enriched and fulfilled after meeting Barry and you 5 incredible women. I cherish everything from that evening--the limo ride & champagne, the incredible concert he gave us, the beautiful ambience in the Platinum room, my candid photos (thank you Garry K!!), Barry's charming and witty personality, Barry's indulgence in a small little favor I asked of him (out of the gutter girls--it wasn't anything like that!!), and Barry's genuine interest in me and what I was all about.
I wish for all fans to be able to have this opportunity.
THANK YOU FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART, MR. BARRY MANILOW!!!
HAPPY ANNIVERSARY KATHIE, ELAINE, ELAINE, TERRY, AND PAM!!
Love, Carolyn
