Vote for most humorous story

[Dawn]

*wonders what humorous story I posted* :unsure:

[Chris/Lisa]

No specifics then this year :unsure:

[Dawn]

Who cares, I'm going to an awards ceremony. Better go and find a posh frock to wear. :thumbs:

[uscwest]

Think we need links to what the most humorous story is from each of those folks before we vote for one.

[joanne]

I don't know what they are. I just got the top nominees from JuniorMickey. And I presume members who voted just submitted names and not links to stories :shrug:

[Dawn]

Guys! Guys!

I've got Calvin Klein on the phone asking if they can dress me for the ceremony. Do I say yes or shall I hold out for Gucci? :unsure:

[OKWTink]

Go with Gucci. Much more dramatic. Calvin is so yesterday. :hehe:

[Whitequeen]

When do they bring the Champagne and Goody bags round?:unsure:

[Dawn]

OK I'm not getting into a limo unless I'm dressed in Gucci and clutching a goody bag full of champagne. :thumbs:

[Whitequeen]

Ooooo look!!!! There's Johny Depp!!!!:)

[Dawn]

Did you see what they got in the BAFTA bags?

Four night stay at Spa in Mauritius, Steinmetz diamond phone jewellery, first class upgrade vouchers with American Airlines, Orange Motorola SLVR handset, Lancome fragrance, makeup and skincare products for men and women, hand-finished Furla bag, bottle of Taittinger champagne, Beautcamp Pilates classes worth £200 and an invitation to Nicky Clarke Mayfair salon for a hair cut.

Johnny Depp? What's he been nominated for? Ooohohohohohohohohoh please let him be presenting.

[Whitequeen]

Awww, I've already got a bottle of Taittinger!:rolleyes:

[triciacarole]

OK here's this year's Oscar bag, as revealed by Chicago Sun Times.


Though officially called a "gift bag," the collection of luxe presents are actually a series of certificates the recipients later turn in for various prizes.
The guideline is pretty simple: No individual gift can be valued for less than $500. The overall value of the 2006 "gift bag" is estimated to surpass $100,000.
Here's a selection of some of the items we know the presenters and performers will receive for their efforts on March 5 at the 78th annual Academy Awards:

*The most expensive item is a $25,000 luxury package from one of the world's most exclusive resorts, the Halekulani Hotel on Waikiki Beach in Honolulu. That includes a four-night stay in the resort's 2,135-square-foot Vera Wang Suite, with 24-hour butler service and items the guest can take home from Vera Wang's gift, bath and acessories collections. Also included is a signature treatment at the hotel's spa, dinner for two at Hawaii's only 5-star restaurant, La Mer at Halekulani.
*The least expensive item in the gift bag is $600 in products for a coffee lover -- a Krups XP4050 Premium Pump espress machine and coffee products from the illy coffee company.
*There's the "Unlimited Card" (worth $2,500) from the Cornelia Day Resort on New York City's Fifth Avenue, including a $500 facial, massages, a whole range of beauty products and an entire day of beauty treatments.
*Vonage, the broadband phone company, is giving the Academy Award participants its new VTech Expandable Broadband phone system (worth $550).
*Rosewood Hotels & Resorts has put together a $2,300 Oscar basket package that includes two nights in a large suite at New York's famed Carlyle Hotel.
*Those Oscar show participants will be made to feel cozy, as well. Frette, the famous Italian linen house, is giving them its Voyage throw -- a leather-trimmed cashmere travel blanket, valued at $1,495. *There's something of a Chicago connection to the Oscar "gift bags" this year. Morton's steakhouse is offering each presenter and performer the opportunity to host an exclusive dinner party in Morton's Private Boardroom, available at any of their 69 restaurants around the world. The value of that package is $1,500.

So where should I collect mine from? :unsure:

[Whitequeen]

That'd be right! Get loads of people together that have more money than you could shake a stick at and give them loads of stuff they can afford to buy themselves. :shrug: :lol:
