Holy cow, I just realized the Oscars are this Friday?!?! So it's time for my lame Oscars contest. Last year AnniE and some other guy tied for 1st place. He never wrote me back, so SBS won as default :) Well, she kept crying.. it was embarrassing :) AHAH! So this year I have saved an amazing gift for you of useless items.. and some not-so-useless items. I am in a hurry to post this, so I will add photos of the AMAZING prizes later. OK, so they are really a variety of silly odd things.. call them GARAGE SALE PRIZES. But, you'll be a winner, and everyone will admire you and be super jealous! OK, that's a lie too. *** MORE Photos to come as I add more crap ***
Monkey made a donation to the prize pot, 3 of his kid meal toys. Two.. yes TWO.. Burger King bobble heads. And some sort of odd square cat thingy. They were the only kid meal toys he could find, or you would have had more. Don't cry. The bobble heads are funny, though. Also, a Hello Kitty lip gloss, still sealed, which I bought at the Stratosphere in Las Vegas last December. A leather choker with metal studs which say 'Mistress'. The PERFECT .. um.. St.Patrick's Day gift for you or your loved one? I had the 'bitch' wrist strap which I use as a keychain. But this choker has never been used... I'm not THAT odd. And I can't really give it to the Salvation Army.. can I? Also, from Monkey, a variety of new glow sticks and a flickering flashy disco-y stick. And for the clean freaks, a variety of bathroom thingies I got in Christmas baskets this last Christmas which I will never use. The lavender and mimosa bath stuff smells pretty good, actually. The other things are just odd and I don't understand them.. especially the nubby thing. One of those CD cases that fit on your sun visor? New.
