Fan Girl

Iceland Airwaves, 2025.

I was in Iðno, hiding in a corner next to to the PA subwoofer—my usual hangout for taking pictures of the performers. A woman of indeterminate age came swooping into my lair emanating a cloud of perfume and alcohol. She started talking to me, something about the next act, as she deposited her fur coat behind the speaker. She was coming on strong and was definitely aroused, but not by me. She was a fan girl of Ms. Obama, a gymnastic hip-hop/rap artist who was just then taking the stage. The fan girl made her way to front center and began trying to seduce the performer.

As the set continued the fangirl’s adoration became a show in itself.

She was smitten and, in a sense, so was I.

ONLY SIX MORE DAYS UNTIL ICELAND!
