I'm reposting this from this morning. I took it down for a bit but am putting it back up with watermarked photos (even though you can find the unmarked photos EVERYWHERE :)
But the past 72 hours have blown my fucking mind.
Seriously.
I don't even know how to begin to explain the fantastical-ness of the Mayercraft Carrier. The reality is that there's no way I can explain to you how beyond rad the whole experience was. From boarding and wandering the ship and finding our room to debarking this morning at dark thirty (yeah, it's a time, look it up). A.M.A.Z.I.N.G.
On the drive home from Providence tonight my Mom asked me what my favorite part of the whole trip was. The dolphin experience was fab. The prom was pretty rockin'. The food was delish. The weather was perfect (who cares that I'm as red as a lobsta right now). Watching the Superbowl on a screen that's bigger than my freaking house was pretty sweet. But I'm gonna have to say that the time span of about 10AM-4PM Sunday takes the cake. As we were walking back to our room to drop the camera off so we could jump in the hot tub, our friend Erin's friends start yelling my name and tell us to head up to the top deck ... one deck above where John "I'm So Hot With My Shirt Off" Mayer is sunbathing with Sherrod Small and a few people from his crew. When we got up there (after running just a little bit :) we were the only ones hanging out, besides Erin. So cool! We ended up staying for about two hours. John and Sherrod waved directly at me and I'm pretty sure that Sherrod was commenting to John about my paparazzi-ish lens that I was using to document the whole event. John rubbed Sherrod down with suntan lotion in a very sexual manner that had the newly formed crowd up on the 11th deck laughing up a storm. And then it happened. Someone brought up a wad of bright green fabric, which turned out to be a replica of the bathing suit/man thong that Borat wears in the movie. Un-freaking-real. So we're all hooting and hollering and egging him on, and.... he puts on the effing suit. Yes, folks, I witnessed John Mayer in a man thong. It pretty much made my life. He came back upstairs with a wrap around his waist, proceeded to drop the wrap and start posing like he was gonna be on the cover of Sports Illustrated Swimsuits Edition. Then he decided that it would be a sweet idea to take a lap around the deck ... jogging ... in the man thong. Priceless. I'm still laughing about it. No lie.
After the man thong incident, I went to the Q&A Session for fan club members where a tipsy Mayer answered questions from fans for about an hour. I video taped some of it, but then my battery died :( I got some good photos though. It was so cool to listen to his answers, and the questions that were asked were really interesting.
Then, as if it couldn't get any better, we went to the show on the Lido Deck from 3-4. (Dear Jayne, maybe John can play on our lido deck. I'll get on that.) We met up with another friend we made who had a killer spot on the deck that she had been holding since six in the morning! Hello zoom lens. Hello tipsy John Mayer who informs us that "he's gonna take a break at some point during the set because I'm gonna have to take a piss." HA! And he did. I got super fantastical shots at this show, and Mom video taped the whole thing. I'm so excited to go watch it before I finally make it to bed tonight. Seriously, the show was probably the best one I've been to even though it was only an hour long. Just the atmosphere of being on the deck of a cruise boat with John Mayer pla ying not even 10 yards infront of me was pretty much the coolest thing ever. Oh, and not to mention the two buckets of ice cold Bud Lights that I purchased before the show started. Yeah, they rocked too.
I should probably head to bed, seeing as how I've been up for nearly 24 hours straight and didn't really get much sleep at all this weekend. I just wanted to let everyone know I made it home. And for your viewing pleasure, a handful of pictures from Sunday. If you find men in bright green satchel protectors offensive, I advise you leave now :)
Dude, where was John when I needed suntan lotion rubbed in?! Pch.
Over the pants....
Alright, there are so many things I could say about this photo, but I will just say one. Step off my thumbs up, John. Don't you know that's my thing?! Obvz.
He even told us to mail these pics to US Weekly. You bet I will.





REPUBBLICA XL italian monthly magazine would like to publish in the next issue of march john mayer/borat photos. Pls contact us asap.
Thank you.

Hey there! Awesome pics !! Glad to hear the cruise was great! I love John Mayer and have been a big fan from the start. But I hate to say that I stumbled across your pic on a not so nice site called www.hotchickswithdouchebags.com Some people should really get a life. I hope you give them hell !!!
Take care
Missy

OH you must feel like you are famous. I notice you only leave the good remarks up. Not the ones where John's real fans call you a sell out and b!tch. You were exactly what he was talking about on the boat. Go ahead and sell your pics to some smut mag and make your buck. I talked with him in the airport in Miami and I promised I would never watch TMZ. The funny thing was... he was worried about what we (his fan) were going to do to him. I assured him we loved him being himself. Fvck you ! I know you will block this because you cant take what people really think of you!!!!!

Hi Erin,
I'm the Senior Coordinator of Media Rights and Licensing for the Fuse Network and Madison Square Garden Media. We are working on a upcoming concert special and associated interview special with John Mayer and are interested in obtaining your permission to use the famous "Thong photos". The photos would potentially be used as part of the interview special. Do you still control the rights to these photos? If so can you please email or call me. I can be reached at rick.mace@thegarden.com. Thanks and I hope to hear from you.
