I just met Tiffany

She was my childhood idol. I don’t know if anyone else can relate, but I loved her. She was so kind and sweet. Her voice is still an amazing. I actually ugly cried to her y’all. FML.

Were you "alone now" in her bus?

Been thinking about her mall tour. They want to make an old mall in Fresno into apartments, but as Gen X ages, I think it needs to become a retirement community for active seniors. Anchor stores can become multidisciplinary medical clinics. Put a theater at another anchor store for films and live performances. Invite Tiffany to run an annual summer festival with other 80s performers. Allow us to wander around with spiked Orange Julius drinks, have a hookah bar, lots of snack stands. Massage, chiropractor, barber shop and beauty salon, gym, sauna, spa, pool, all options available at the food court (vegetarian, vegan, gluten free, dairy free and full meat and milk extravaganza). Turn on the fountains. Chess and checkers and dice and board game and card game tables in the common areas. Art gallery. Book store. Clothing. Vintage store. Hardware store. Grocery and liquor store.

arcade! Don’t forget the arcade
myheromeganmullally@reddit
don’t forget the weed store. Blue berry edibles.
Excusemytootie@reddit
That would be absolutely indispensable.
CompanyOther2608@reddit
Ba dum tss
myheromeganmullally@reddit
😀 let’s go try the everything food court. If you roll up the spicy vegetarian pizza with the old fashioned pepperoni pizza… it’s good.
Green_Chandelier@reddit
YES!! Pole Position, Donkey Kong, Centipede, 4-person Gauntlet with adjustable height, memory foam stools available.
in-a-microbus@reddit
I've said it before.
I love the idea, but please please make the dispensing nurse a shifty looking guy in a black trench coat with greasy long hair...and we can slip him our script and he can slip us the drugs...just like old times.
theoriginalb@reddit
The dream!

Chrissygirl1978@reddit
Just curious, which mall? Fashion fair, Manchester, Sierra Vista? I grew up there lived about a mile from Sierra Vista.
Green_Chandelier@reddit
Manchester Center. https://www.yourcentralvalley.com/news/local-news/fresno-housing-manchester-center/
Chrissygirl1978@reddit
Interesting.. Thank you!
RealGallitoGallo@reddit
This is how I picture heaven when I die. I won't get to go there, being in hell and all, but this is how I imagine it'll look.
Green_Chandelier@reddit
Hell version will be the same except all the escalators go the wrong direction and there’s a video store but they only have the title you want in Betamax. 🔥😱 🔥
susiemay01@reddit
In.
douglasburnet@reddit
That’s actually a really good idea esp for malls in the middle o nowhere hmmmm
Green_Chandelier@reddit
I’ve seen it posted before, and the more I think about it and all of our empty indoor malls in California, the more I like it.
MowgeeCrone@reddit
Loved Tiffany! Still do! Three degrees of separation has me all too excited about my close encounter, through you.
Jld114@reddit
Omg Tiffany and I have matching hair right now!!!!
CarelesslyFabulous@reddit
I met her in a mall tour with none other than Rick Astley!
Test4Echooo@reddit
MirSydney@reddit
Let's go to the mall!
trUth_b0mbs@reddit
this episode was hilarious
Fabulous-Tap-4006@reddit
This makes me so happy! Love Robin Sparkles!
MirSydney@reddit
I actually didn't like HIMYM, but I really loved the Tiffany spoof that was Robin Sparkles too!
evilJaze@reddit
Don't you mean Robin Daggers?
That show actually prophecized that cringy and hilarious dark rebranding of that Jojo Siwa kid.
istara@reddit
SO. JEALOUS.
No_Translator_9633@reddit
I haven’t been jealous of anything in a while until this
Hour-Definition189@reddit (OP)
I think she said she is playing all over coming up. She was worth seeing. I saw her with NKOTB etc years back, but this was different. She let people on stage with her.
Hour-Definition189@reddit (OP)
I got to see her with Tommy Tutone
MetalTrek1@reddit
Cool! But I've always been more of a Debbie Gibson guy (my eternal status as a Metalhead notwithstanding). 🙂🤘
Hour-Definition189@reddit (OP)
I am a metal head , Tiffany preceded that though
impablomations@reddit
Same here.
Randomly came across her when she was playing outside a shopping centre in the UK. I was a full on metal head, but I've always had a soft spot for Tiffany, especially the song.
EducatedBarbarian@reddit
I relate to this statement very hard.

Amazing! I loved her music back in the day. Need to revisit it. So happy for you internet stranger.
AnyaSatana@reddit
Were you alone?
BlackaddaIX@reddit
Did you get her alone?
Lemon-Cake-8100@reddit
omg how weird you posted this - tonight my husband and I were going out to dinner, I had Sirius 80s on 8 on the radio, and Tiffany came on with I think we're alone now. I turned to him and said "I wonder what Tiffany is doing these days?" And here you are! 😊
Proper-Exercise-2364@reddit
Tiffany who?
leebrown23@reddit
...Doesn't seem to be anyone around...
XD
CaligulaCan@reddit
Were you alone ?
IceExile@reddit
interesting... the indie documentary I THINK WE'RE ALONE NOW that has her as a focal point is really far out....
Beena22@reddit
I love that documentary. My favourite part is when the guy who is obsessed with her turns up to a court appearance for stalking her and brings her a samurai sword as a gift 🤣 Not really helping your case there Jeff.
Excusemytootie@reddit
Wow! I was not expecting to watch the entire thing. Once it started, I couldn’t turn it off. Great documentary!
Beena22@reddit
It’s compelling viewing isn’t it?
AtleastIthinkIsee@reddit
She was really patient with the guy and she had every right to get a restraining order (maybe she eventually did?) and order some kind of security to keep him away.
Like... I don't know how you would handle something like this and not be terrified.
RockingFlower@reddit
Did this happen at a mall demolition? ;)
ShadowyTreeline@reddit
What's the word for when you laugh spontaneously but it hurts at the same time.
RockingFlower@reddit
a pulled back muscle?
Hour-Definition189@reddit (OP)
I’m can’t help but laugh at this. It was not a mall. Sadly
SMBamberger@reddit
I saw her at the end of May on the tour with Wilson Phillips, Taylor Dayne & Sheena Easton. Tiffany was great!
mopnopples@reddit
How cool! She was my very first concert! 😍
4reddityo@reddit
Ohhhh that Tiffany
movieator@reddit
Were you alone now?
natedogjulian@reddit
I would not want to be alone with that

Post of a pic of yourself, champ.
Hour-Definition189@reddit (OP)
I cannot due to my job
movieator@reddit
Not you. You’re good.
Hour-Definition189@reddit (OP)
Why would you be nasty like that? She’s beautiful and talented. Geez, find a hobby?

It’s been since the year 1984…
lowfreq33@reddit
Yeah she’s really nice. Her fiance/guitarist used to run sound at a club I played at all the time.
Hour-Definition189@reddit (OP)
She was so nice. my husband said to go to the bus to meet her. I thought he was full of crap because it’s 2025 (1990s they used to meet you at the bus) Sure enough , she was out there, idk what my husband said, but she said my name the whole time. She was so nice. I didn’t take up a lot of her time, but I did ugly cry. I told her how much she helped me through my young childhood. She talked to me about that a bit. She was as nice as I had always thought she would be when I used to buy my teen magazines, probably nicer. I was happy
Squirrel_Master82@reddit
That's really cool to hear. Nice people make this life worth living.
WandaTrusslerBeauty@reddit
Aw this makes me misty, I loved her so much as a kid. Thank you so much for sharing!
Hour-Definition189@reddit (OP)
You’re welcome. She got me through some hard times, and no one in my current life realizes how much I loved her. She was as nice as we thought she would be, and more! She said she will be playing more shows soon. I hope you get to see her!!❤️
Sad-Chocolate2911@reddit
OP, your life peaked today.
Hour-Definition189@reddit (OP)
It did. My childhood trauma was just dumped on this poor woman lol It felt so amazing though. She was so sweet
Sad-Chocolate2911@reddit
I am seriously soooo happy for you! Sometimes we trauma dump. It happens. 😉 What a wonderful experience to meet her. I was a big fan, too. I’m pretty jealous. ☺️
I hope you are able to cherish your memories from today. What a fun story to tell everyone you ever meet from now on.
j_mcr1@reddit
I met her about 20 years ago at Kingdom at Disneyland. Sweet as could be
Hour-Definition189@reddit (OP)
Wet sweet

Oh Tiff; say it ain’t so.
Why oh why did you go the puffy face Madonna route?
😩
Hour-Definition189@reddit (OP)
Find something else to do. What be mean? Her voice was amazing, and she was the kindest artist I have ever met
DeviantHellcat@reddit
Lucky you! She's aging like fine wine - absolutely beautiful! Glad to hear she's genuinely sweet. 🥰
Flux_My_Capacitor@reddit
Are we looking at the same picture?
She’s had a lot of work done and it’s very uncanny valley.
Hour-Definition189@reddit (OP)
Why do you have to be mean though ?
natedogjulian@reddit
WTF?
Majestic-Tadpole8458@reddit
Touring must be hard with all the malls drying up
Hour-Definition189@reddit (OP)
That’s okay, she still rocked it
root_fifth_octave@reddit
She does a cover of that one Tommy James and the Shondells song just the way I like it.
NandLandP@reddit
better than the original. I turn her version all the way up to 11
xMyDixieWreckedx@reddit
Is that louder than 10?
Harlowe_Thrombey@reddit
Yes, it’s one louder
xMyDixieWreckedx@reddit
Why don't you just make 10 louder and make 10 be the top number?
Gisselle441@reddit
These go to 11
SWNMAZporvida@reddit
Jealous!
Hour-Definition189@reddit (OP)
I’m sorry. I didn’t post it to make people upset. I understand how you feel, I loved her. My husband made it happen. If I could tell you how embarrassed I am for the ugly crying. She probably thought I was crazy. I had three minutes, and I didn’t say anything value and couldn’t compose myself. She was probably like, what the hell
Substantial-Lock-596@reddit
I love Tiffany. I used to play her tiny tape on my Pocket Rocker.
Hour-Definition189@reddit (OP)
I remember those. We were too poor for me to have one. I had an old headphone set that my neighbors dad died and they gave it to me. My mom did buy me a few tapes. I had Tiffany , and I played it to death!
LongApricot@reddit
Still love her
Hour-Definition189@reddit (OP)
Me too!

DemandezLesOiseaux@reddit
Sounds like you guys had a great time! I’m so excited for you. Ok maybe like 10% percent jealous!
Hour-Definition189@reddit (OP)
She was my idol growing up. I’m old now, but I was very happy to see her. I know she isn’t on the level Of Jimmy Page, but it meant a lot to me.
IWantToBeHappy55@reddit
LOVE HER

Children, behave

She takes the bus now?
Hour-Definition189@reddit (OP)
I don’t know how to take this comment. Very big acts take a bus. She was amamzing
T_Rex_Pdx@reddit
One of my first concerts! I bought a blue sleeveless sweatshirt.
Hour-Definition189@reddit (OP)
I was never able to see her when I was younger . I wish I was able. She was amazing even today
yipikiyae@reddit
I made a commercial with her about 12 years ago. She was nice, kind, and just a great person to be around.
Hour-Definition189@reddit (OP)
She was sooo nice! I was not let down

She's such a sweetheart. I told her how The Color Of Silence got me through a brutal divorce. She took my hands and said, "me too."
Hour-Definition189@reddit (OP)
She was amazing!!
bitteralabazam@reddit
I remember when she was on an episode of one of those blind date shows. I seem to recall thinking her date should be having way more fun than he was. He was just not into it, and she knew it.
mekanub@reddit

https://youtu.be/w6Q3mHyzn78?si=k6EoeZ7DBo9bGbOm
Classic 80's pop track, She was also apparently the inspiration for the Robin Sparkles story lines in How I Met Your Mother, where Colbie Smoulders character Robin was a Canadian teen pop star.
GreenTfan@reddit
I think Robin Sparkles/Robin Daggers was a mashup of Tiffany ("let's go to the mall! today!") and Alanis Morrisette (who was a teen pop star in Canada)

I had Alanis' first album on cassette.
