Hey, it’s Mike! Graziella let me take over her blog this week to let you know what it was like to go tux shopping for the Ultimate Prom with Lloyd, so here goes:
The day we went tuxedo shopping was actually my 18th birthday! At first I was so nervous about the whole experience. I was self-conscious about how I should act and how I would appear on camera. However, I was comforted by the fact that I was able to bring along my sister, Katie, and my best friend, Steven (that’s him on the right in the picture). They were both so excited for me.
On the car ride to the mall, I felt like I was in a reality show. I was setting up the scene on camera in the car, introducing my sister and telling the audience that I would be shopping with Lloyd. When we got there, I thought it was going to be intimidating because I was going to hang out with a celebrity who had body guards walking around him. But when I met Lloyd, he was the nicest person ever. He wished me a happy birthday and we told stories about our childhoods and cracked jokes the whole time. When he found out that I’m a guitarist in my band, we started talking about guitars and jamming.
The main thing we talked about was our prom experiences. Lloyd expressed his excitement for going to my prom since he was never able to attend his own. As we both picked out our tuxedos, we found out that we are exactly the same size.
Walking around the store with Lloyd was crazy, since everywhere we turned people would stop and stare. Lloyd would get the occasional fan coming up to him exclaiming, “Excuse me, are YOU Lloyd?!” Some even came up to him hysterically crying with their cell phones out saying, “My mother’s never gonna believe this!” Lloyd was so nice to his fans, asking their names and how they were doing. I felt like I was a celebrity, it was great!
As we went through the store, we encountered my sister who was trying on dresses and she was able to keep the dress! As we left the store with my new tux, I couldn’t contain myself. This whole experience gets more amazing by the minute. Lloyd is the man!
