Woman who spent 3 days of her childhood with Xuxa, in 1987, is preparing for a 'reunion' with the presenter in BH

Commercial assistant Fernanda Luciene Chaves remembers every detail of the three days she spent as a child with Xuxa Meneghel, in 1987. At the time, she was 12 years old and was drawn in a promotion to meet the artist.

Now, 39 years later, the fan is preparing to relive the emotion during the "O Último Voo da Nave" tour show, this Saturday (14), in Belo Horizonte.

The presentation marks Xuxa's return to the capital of Minas Gerais after almost ten years. The show promises to bring together great hits from the singer's career, as well as appearances by Paquitas, who were part of the children's program "Xou da Xuxa".

A letter that changed everything

In 1987, Fernanda participated in the promotion "I want to spend a day with Xuxa". She wrote a letter alongside a childhood friend, without imagining that she would be chosen among so many participants.

"I had never written for any draw. It was the only letter and among so many others, right? And it was magical", he recalled.

The experience went far beyond what the girl imagined. Fernanda arrived by helicopter at Xuxa's mansion, in Rio de Janeiro, walked around the city and enjoyed moments of fun alongside the presenter.

Among the most memorable memories are a swim in the house's pool and the opportunity to enter the famous nave. She also remembers the affection with which she was received.

"She received me wonderfully. She's a completely beautiful, sincere person, as well as smelling good, because her perfume is clearly marked in my memory."

Almost four decades later, the memories continue to move the commercial assistant, who will now have a new opportunity to see the artist up close.

Fans prepare to return to childhood

The anticipation for the show also mobilizes other fans who grew up watching Xuxa on television.

For beautician Priscila Sepulvida, watching the presentation is an opportunity to relive childhood feelings.

"It's having extreme joy. It's smiling with your soul, it's being a child again, it's bringing purity and thinking that there's no problem," he said.

Professor Vanessa Hespanhol also hopes to fulfill an old dream. As a child, she wrote letters to Xuxa, but never managed to meet the presenter.

"The goal for me is to be able to return to my childhood. That 9-year-old child who dreamed, who wrote a lot of letters to Xuxa, there were about 2, 3, not many. I thought that dream would never come true and today I'm here again", he said.

Tour will feature 14 ex-Paquitas

In addition to the musical hits, the show "O Último Voo da Nave" promises a journey through the different phases of Xuxa's career.

The famous ship, one of the main symbols of the presenter's children's programs, is also part of the production and must fly over the audience.

Another highlight is the participation of 14 former Paquitas, stage assistants who impacted generations of children in the 1980s and 1990s.

Warm-up show

Before Xuxa's performance, three ex-Paquitas will get together this Friday (13), in Belo Horizonte, for a warm-up show.

Among them is Priscilla Couto, known as Paquita Catuxita. According to her, the proposal is to make the public sing, dance and remember songs that marked their childhood.

"So it's a very lively, fun show, where we access the inner child. So we want everyone dancing, singing, jumping, having fun, moving," he said.

The repertoire includes songs by Paquitas, Xuxa and other artists who were successful at the time, such as the group Trem da Alegria.
