First off, let me just say: childhood dreams DO come true!
Remember the era when we have posters of our idols on our wall growing up? Yeah, well, I practically got to hang out with them all today!
I finally meet Jackie Chan face to face! He happens to be my childhood idol because of his funny antics in his martial arts movies.
I remember going to his gym in Hong Kong whenever we went on vacation there. My Papa Vito is such a good dad because he would accompany me to Jackie Chan's gym and inquire if Jackie was there. I was dreaming of having a snapshot or even to get a glimpse of him. Unfortunately, he was so busy and was always out! Finally, in Tokyo Japan we did some high kicks together (well, I attempted some, haha).
Next off is Michael Jackson! I moonwalked right next to him (okay, maybe just shuffled awkwardly) Ha ha ha 🤣
Then, I got all cultured, posing for Michael Angelo as the Mona Lisa except that I had a giant, cheesy grin.

The music legends were next! Madonna, Beyonce, Lady Gaga - slay queens unite! We belted out some (questionable) karaoke together.
Of course, it wasn't all action and pop stars. I got to channel my inner Audrey Hepburn with a classic pose, then went full-on Captain Jack Sparrow with Johnny Depp. ☠️
Even royalty wasn't off limits! I rubbed elbows (virtually, of course) with Prince William and Kate Middleton and even got to sat at the Queen of England's throne!!!
And let's not forget the history makers! Sharing a moment with Nelson Mandela and President Obama was truly humbling.
Finally, I got a little taste of Japan with Prime Minister Abe (hope I didn't bow incorrectly!).
This wasn't just a trip to a wax museum, it was a journey through my fangirl fantasies!
Seriously, if you're ever in Tokyo, Madame Tussauds is a MUST. You might not get to hold an Oscar or become president, but you can definitely get the perfect Instagram pic with your idols!
Now, if you'll excuse me, I need to go rewatch all the movies, listen to all the music, and maybe (just maybe) try to recreate some of those epic poses.
Who are your ultimate fangirl/fanboy icons? Let me know in the comments, and maybe we can fangirl together on the next adventure!
