Braggy Bragerton..

MrNV returned from a trip tonight, he spent some time in Atlantic City. He went there with his high roller buddy, and got to stay in his suite. Usually when he has to do these trips, he gets to stay in a modest hotel and the best loot he can steal for me is the free Suave shampoo and a plastic pen. It's all business, I get it, but I know there has to be fun. I mean, when I'm at home cleaning dog vomit from my carpet.. and my husband calls and says this: "Lorraine! You should see this suite! It's HUUUUUUGE!! There are separate bedrooms at each end, and plasma screens everywhere." I think you get the idea? And it's funny that a man's idea of an awesome suite is how many plasma screens it has :) But I am blown away at how money is thrown at people with money. Everything comped, access to the heli if needed and all sorts of other things. But his friend was very sweet and let MrNV have his way in Trump Exchange gift shop with his comps. I mean, they gave the guy an iPhone even! MrNV would have gotten one but they were out... sure. See how greedy I am? But he was very sweet and brought back some great items for his ungrateful bitchy wife. And for Monkey Boy, he bought cologne. They didn't have kid things, and the little ape is going through a phase where he wants to smell nice. It's so funny.

The butterfly is a perfume bottle. It's gorgeous. I love butterflies, so he did really well there in thinking of me :) It's so gorgeous, made of glass and metal. I'm so dumb when it comes to anything stylish, so I have no idea if there is a story behind who makes it. I just know it's beautiful. My favorite smelly thing is the Bulgari lotion which he took out of the suite. Holy cow! He also bought a bottle of the cologne in the store, so I'll be stealing it. I don't care if it's mens, it smells good and I love it. There is also the Bulgari shampoo and conditioner :) See how easy I am? Just steal stuff from the room. He bought, and bought as in free, a pair of sunglasses also. They are Skagen if that means anything. And a bottle of Gucci Rush cologne. Or is it perfume? Doesn't say. I just know my office now smells like a brothel. And I love and adore free stuff :) I'm glad I'm not a celeb, I'd be at every party that offered swag.

He also stole the leather notepad for me, bottom left in the photo. It weighs about 10 pounds!! SERIOUSLY!! He took 2, and his luggage was over the weight limit :) Must be so that it doesn't slide when people write on it.

MrNV also took his camera phone, so he snapped some shots of the rooms. Yes, the main suite his friend stayed in had a plasma screen that popped out of the vanity at the base of the bed. Cuz, you know, you gotta be able to stay in bed and watch TV :) And yes, they had not one.. but TWO butlers. And they buttled. Room service was free.. everything was free. And no, cuz I know you're wondering, they didn't lose any money while they were there :) So... it was not free as in you lost your life savings in the casino. It was free as in they paid for you to stay there, gave you stuff PLUS you walked out a few dollars richer :)
