Ever fantasize about having a celebrity take you to your prom?  Could you even imagine something so special?  That fantasy became a reality for one lucky Ohio girl.  She had an incredible night to remember as popstar Chris Trousdale was her Valentine’s Day Prom Date. 

Come along with FTV as we take you all back to that February 11^th night.....

Sixteen year old Yvette, a sophomore at Stow High School in Ohio is a huge Chris Trousdale fan and supporter.  Imagine the joy she experienced when she found out that Chris would accompany her as her date to the Stow High School Valentine’s Day Dance!

On a cold mid February night, Chris arrived at her home dressed in true New York style wearing a “black shirt and jeans with a red tie for Valentine’s Day.”  Yvette was wearing a beautiful red sleeveless dress.  The couple looked gorgeous together!  After taking a number of pictures(check them out in the gallery!) Chris then put a beautiful corsage on her wrist and they were ready for their dream date. 

The group including, Louie (Chris’s manager), Chris, Yvette, and her friends Brittni and Jim (on a blind date!) set forth for their night “Under the Stars” as the dance was so perfectly titled.  It also had a coincidental resemblance to the name of Debbie’s prom, “Starry Starry Night” in “The Biggest Fan.”

Those of you who have seen "The Biggest Fan," and of course then fantasized about having Chris Trousdale wander into your room one night, you would definitely have felt this was the remake of that movie.  “It was just like "The Biggest Fan."  It looked like it too, it was crazy!” says Chris.  In a way Yvette shares a similarity with Kailah Amariah’s character, “Debbie,”  “Since about 7^th grade, girls at my school called me a liar about knowing/meeting Chris…”  Yet "The Biggest Fan Take 2" was about to happen, “ so when they saw Chris with me at the dance, their faces were absolutely priceless!” What a victory!

Of course before the dance they had to grab something to eat, so seafood fan Chris was able to pick out a restaurant with his favorite foods after the group decided on making it a "seafood night."  It seemed as though some of the other students were in awe that Chris was actually there with them.  Yvette tells us, “Chris is to my left, tearing apart crab legs (mind you, butter and what not is flying everywhere haha) and to the right and front of me- my friends sit there in silence looking at each other- Chris and I couldn’t help but laugh looking at them.”

The stunning group arrived at the dance met by many stares and inquisitive looks of admiration.   “There were a lot of kids, very typical high school, freshmen through seniors, very much like it is on TV.  It all looked very cool,” says Chris.  The photographer invited Chris and Yvette to take a special professional prom photo that they will always have as a memento of this fantastic night. 

It was time to get out on the dance floor, pretty much a second home to Chris. The DJ was spinning some great “radio hits” and had the students on their feet dancing all night.  Of course every great party has the well-known dance songs like “Cotton Eyed Joe” and “The Electric Slide,” which the crowd just loved.  In true Chris fashion with his awesome dance abilities, he became the leader in “The Electric Slide.”  “I led it! I was somehow right in the front.”  Yet, even Chris didn’t know one of the dances!  “Then this girl came over to me and said, ‘I’m a big fan of yours.  Would you like me to teach you Cotton Eyed Joe?’  She taught me all the moves.  It was so adorable,” says Chris.  Chris was pumped and ready for some more dance music.  He jokes, “I was waiting for the Macarena to come on, but no Macarena! Now that one I knew!”  

They also had fun with some Whitney Houston music.  Yvette recalls, “One of the funniest memories I have of the dance is when Chris and I were dancing to “I Wanna Dance With Somebody” by Whitney Houston. It’s an 80’s kind of song so it’s hard to dance to in a way and Chris was trying to spin me around and I would spin the opposite way.  No matter what direction he would twist his hand I kept spinning the opposite way and he would just laugh at me and scream ‘WHAT ARE YOU DOING!?’ That was too funny.”  The night continued on with some beautiful ballads that the crowd slow danced to.  Here’s a picture of Chris and Yvette sharing a special slow dance.

Louie and the security guards closely watched the two of them. Chris says, “Louie was dressed in all black and looked like a bodyguard.” At one point in the night, some drama did ensue and the attentive security guards quickly diverted it. 

As the night went on, more students took notice to the couple.  So many people instantly realized they were taking part in a virtual remake of "The Biggest Fan."  “The girls would find a way to run by me, they were kind of scared that I actually paid attention because they didn’t expect me to acknowledge them,” Chris tells us. Yvette let’s us in on some after – dance feedback from the other students, “When I got to school on Monday, everyone told me they went home after the dance to “Google” Chris and Dream Street. A lot of students now are interested and have asked me about having Chris perform at our school, which is pretty cool!” 

So what is it like to have Chris Trousdale as your date?  Yvette gives us the scoop, “Chris was a great date! We had a blast taking pictures and goofing off most of the time. He was extremely attentive, always asking me if I wanted or needed something. Other girls would ask Chris for a dance and he reminded them he was my date, of course followed by a wink and a smile, to leave the girls breathless haha. He never left my side!”  Girls, don’t melt now! 

The night was filled with wonderful music, great energy, fun and sweet memories.  Around 11pm, the fantasy night came to a close with one last song.  It was truly a picture perfect night.

Want an extra inside story? Chris and Louie were due to fly home to New York the next day, but then Mother Nature stepped in.  As if this dream couldn’t get any better, Yvette, Chris, and Louie were able to spend an extra day together!  All the airports in and around New York were closed due to the record – setting blizzard of 2006, which left over two feet of snow in Central Park, so they weren’t able to fly home until the next day. 

We asked both Chris and Yvette to give us an overall look at their entire experience.  Yvette said, “It was amazing! Spending time with Chris doing nothing out of the usual was incredible! All my dreams came true in one weekend!”  Chris tells us, “It was such a cool experience, just how I pictured it.  It was great to go back in time and be in high school again for a little while. Yvette is a wonderful girl and her family is so nice, we appreciate their hospitality so much. ”
