Friday, April 16th 2010 was a life-changing day for me. There I was, standing, listening to him, captivated by his smile and playful personality, hanging on to every melody that his lips sang, and then it happened: suddenly, we were all alone, he stood in front of me, gazed into my eyes, his perfect white teeth exposed. He took my hands in his and our hands locked as our fingers intertwined in perfect harmony. Then, he kissed me. Passionately.
That’s one version of the story. The other version is: Timaya was in Annapolis, Maryland on Friday, April 16th 2010 for a live concert. As I – like many other frantic fans – stood close to the stage, cheering him on and dancing along to his beautiful songs, he held my right hand and kissed it. But I prefer the first version of the story.
So, I did not know that I’m such a Timaya fan. In fact, Mr. Shoes gave me his CD since last year, and until Saturday, I had not bothered to listen to it. Bracket and Timaya were in town, and I am so glad that I got to do. Bracket performed first. I thought they did a good job — until Timaya hit the stage. He was playful, lively, silly, fun, and all around ‘totally awesome!’
And he was quite naughty, too. He bopped a girls head back and forth to insinuate that she was going down on him — and she was just an attendee (like me), but I think she enjoyed it. One girl, also an attendee, touched his chest, but Timaya, in his generosity, helped her by moving her hand to his groin. I won’t bother talking about what he did on stage with another girl. I’ll just say that when Timaya says [paraphrased], ‘I need a girl on stage. If you’re underage, please don’t come. I might do something funny,’ you should probably request that Mr. Timaya define funny. Unless, of course, you’re looking forward to the humor of the something funny.
But that’s not important. The important thing is that I got kissed by Timaya. And it is imperative that you remember the first paragraph of this post as the true, original version of this story. Oh, I guess I could mention that he also did dash Funmie a kiss on her hand. After the show, Funmie and I were ecstatic! We held our heads – and our right hands – high the entire night. I even promised not to wash my right hand for the rest of April. Maybe for the rest of 2010. We took pictures of the famous hands; who knows, you might see them in the kissing hall of fame one of these days.
The famous hands. Mine is the one on the left. Not quite sure why my pinky sticks out like that.
The famous hands were passionately kissing. Fox News might call this, too, a “terrorist fist jab”.
My family has a strict kiss-and-marry rule, so I should probably contact Timaya and tell him that he is now obligated (by law and by force) to pay my dowry. But while I’m doing that, why don’t you go ahead and watch this video of Timaya kissing me. It was recorded on Funmie’s Blackberry Bold 9700 (you know, the phone I have been day dreaming about!). Unfortunately, I don’t have good pictures of Timaya because right after Bracket finished performing, my Nikon D40X decided to breathe its last breath. It will be dropped off at Best Buy tomorrow. I’m camera-less … for now. Thankfully, however, I’m open to receiving the Nikon D90 as a Vera,-you-totally-deserve-this! gift *batting eye lashes*
As you watch the video, begin to pay particular attention from one minute and 30 seconds (1:30). Enjoy. Needless to say, I love the song that is playing.

Just Joxy: LOL! It's not what it looks like o. I can explain. You see, what had happened was … alright fine, I'm guilty as charged. But it was one heck of a good kiss!
T. Notes: #HISS. Kim indeed! Why would you be fantasizing about Kim kissing you when I, your one and only Verastic Vera, am here? See me see insult o. lol. The whole lot of you (men) are just jealous of my kiss!

Lara: You, too, you're waiting to know when I wash my hand abi? Keep waiting oo. lol.
Daylight: Yes, ke! Why not, if not? Celebrities are celebrities because errr they are celebrities. Now that Timaya has kissed my hand, next step is #drumroll Barack Obama! Timaya is a singer. What more can I say?
Rene: Don't mind Daylight. There's no light in her day right now. lol.

Musco: Comment ooo. Stop running away.
Lol..Like Sassy Trends said..Let us know when you wash your hands and if you insist on the marriage.. emmm, I know a pastor nearby for deliverance.
Eh..I love you don't I?
is that glow from timaya's kiss!
dts a kiss with swagger. lol!
didnt anyone capture that kiss in a mega pixel flashy camera?
Wait, Vera – Timaya is kissing you? Isn't that cheating on Mr Shoes?
Why would anyone want to be kissed by Timaya??!! I'm sorry to burn your cable babe, but that leaves a bad taste in my mouth. Lol.
Anyways, whatever tickles your fancy… Lol.
How are you?
2Cute4U: Hahahahaha. So now, I need deliverance just because I want to adhere to customs and traditions of my family, kwa? Okay oh! I'll be sure to let my Timaya know 🙂
Femme Lounge: Tell me about it! Serious swagger oh! Some might say the glow is from Funmi's Blackberry flash, but what do they know?! It's from Timaya's kiss o' jare!
Standtall: No one did oh! Imagine that. That woulda been my new profile picture. Tehehe.
Favored Girl: Allow me to introduce you to my mantra: It is not cheating until I say it's cheating (and that only applies when I'm the one being accused of cheating). LOL. That said, I have not said it is cheating 🙂
Isha: All of you that are clowning Timaya ehn, if I tell you people to produce your men now, the difference will be visibly clear. Beauty, as they say, is in the eyes of the beholder. Me, I thought Timaya was very cool oh! And I was more taken back (in a good way) by his personality (or at least, his stage presence). **Vera admires the spot Timaya kissed** lol
Too funny.
Kissed by Timaya, hmm….only one word will do….NASTY!!!…He kinda looks like T-Pain and trust me, that ain't a good look. You berra wash that your hand stat.
nice hand…lovely jewellery!
Vera, make I warn you for where Timaya dey o! That guy dey circumcise ladies o! I bet u understand what I mean. But if you still want to know what circumcision means, then ask Mr. Timaya himself. He will oblige, sure he will…
I love the song too. Must be nice
Are you blushing…lol.
SMSL: It is, isn't it? LOL. Thanks!
KG: Gerrout! Jealousy, jealousy. Timaya is NOT a bad-looking guy @ all jare. Wetin dey do una sef? And I'm not washing my hand. In fact, come and kiss it sef!
Anoda Phase: LOL. Thanks, darling!!!
Kenn-Knotty: I don't understand what you mean oh! In fact, I will go and meet Mr. Timaya and ask him to circumcise me, so I can understand what Kenn-Knotty was talking about. LOL.
Joicee: Yes, indeed. It was nice. And so is the song.
Blogoratti: I am oh! LOL. And that was Funmie asking me. Hahaha. Don't mind the yeye girl.
loooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooool
lmao. timaya kissing ur hand is another P abeg. His mouth alone will scare person fromthe concert. jk ofcourse.
as for kennknotty, abeg, which kind of circumcision does timaya do to ladies? that got me thinking. vera go for it and bring back the report. lol
I don't pay money to go to concerts, i get free tickets thru a good friend of mine. It could be bey, alicia keys, usher, etc i always remain calm even if someone is screaming their head off next to me. I will pay money and will go crazy if i had a chance to go to M.J(R.I.P) concert. I will pay any amount to see Sade in concert.
I like Timaya's music, and he's cute(yes, i said it). There's just something about him, can't put my finger on it. I knew he was coming to LA, but didn't plan to go to the concert. My friend insisted that I go with her, so i gave in. The concert in LA was packed, girls/guys that I haven't seen in a while were there, and i saw some grandmas/grandpas who were there to enjoy their time. Bracket performed, it was great. When Timaya finally came out, the whole crowd went crazy. Like I said, I'm usually calm, but i went crazy too. I've never danced that much at parties/concerts it was really fun. I still can't believe what he did to this one girl that came on stage to dance, he was grinding on her so hard, touching her booty like no man's business, they danced together for a good amount of time, she kept fixing her dress(super short), I won't be surprise if something went down btw them after the show. Timaya was so wild, other than that, he's a good performer.
