Rihanna 777 Tour Diary: Toronto To Stockholm

The following is a conversation between me and Maud during a 90-minute delay on a Stockholm tarmac waiting for Rihanna who we know ARRIVED at the nightclub at 5AM last night and proceeded to pour and do a grip of shots. We also cant get our wheels up because were waiting for a bunch of reporters who cant sit the F down because they were raised by wolves. Wolves that were CLEARLY tortured and abused at the hands of THEIR forebears because holy crap, this is ridiculous.

Mary H.K. Choi: Oh my god, Im so tired and this flight out of Stockholm is one majillion hours late. I wish they hadnt served all the mimosas at 9 in the morning.

Maud Deitch: My coffee high wore off about 20 minutes ago and then I started Googling whether or not there are bed bugs in our hotel in Paris. People need to sit down.

MHKC: I legit cant think about bed bugs right now. I havent been checking my mattress seams at all. Im just so relieved every time we see a bed. I have to say though, I love that theyve been putting us in the same seats in Home Plane because any change in the one routine Im hanging onto would end me. Stockolm was a trip, thought. So fun. Best show yet?

MD: Definitely best show yet. Ri seemed way into it and the small variations in the set list made a huge difference. That guy doing the modified Rollin With The Homies dance from the balcony really solidified the whole thing. Thanks for pointing him out. Also we need to talk about Stay because it made me feel a lot of feelings (which is a theme for me this trip I think).

MHKC:YES! Stay was so good. And we were close enough to see Ri get a little misty-eyed over it. Adidas guy was The Best. The crowd in general was awesome. That kid in the Yeezys who camped out for a week to get em. AND, UM, how nuts is it that the really cute girls we took pictures of ended up being total Julianne (here from Spin, and she also writes our RuPaul Recaps) Twitter fans. The Internet is amazing. So, we need to discuss the venue.

MD: Pause, All of the photographers are crowding around the bathrooms/breakfast tray in the back of the plane so we have to check and see if its RihannaNope just Nuno (the guitar player).
