Micky Bubble!

Yesterday I had taken a sick day from work as I had a thumping headache, and spent the day watching the devastating coverage on the NZ earth quake and cleaning the house.
I threw out 3 bags full of clothes and shoes, and have 50 items to attempt to sell on eBay.
My wardrobe is certainly not so full any more.
S got home around 6 and made us a delish dinner of grilled fish, veggies and brown rice. We were relaxing watching TV - Our fave night of TV - The Office, Nurse Jackie & Californication all in a row when he had a few calls from his boss, but missed them.
He eventually rang him back, and I could hear S saying "No, No, we don't want them" and I was wondering what he was talking about when he said to me "Do you know anyone that wants free Michael Buble tickets for tonight??" I screamed 'MEEEEEEEEE!!!!!! I want them!!!!" and his boss was out the front of our apartment 10 minutes later, with us jumping in his car and heading to the concert.
With only 10 minutes to get ready, I did not even have time to put my face on!



Full house.
There was a group of about 7 ladies sitting behind us, and all they did was bitch and moan the whole time about how crap the seats are, how they did not want to come in the first place blah blah blah whinge whinge whinge. I threw them more than my fair share of withering looks.
The supporting act were 'Naturally Seven' and if you have not heard of them, YouTube them.
They are amazing - they do not use any instruments, all the sounds you will hear are from their amazing vocals.

As soon as we saw people with glowing Daiquiri glasses, I had to have one.


I am kind of obsessed with the glass actually.



Oh Michael Buble.
You sexy, sexy, SEXY beast.



He is beyond amazing.

He is a fantastic entertainer and very, very funny.
He made quite a few sexual comments, and I felt for the Mum with her young daughter infront of us. Awkward.


I was disapointed that he did not sing 'Sway', although he did an amazing Michael Jackson number.
S: "He is not even good looking and the girls go wild"
Me: "It's not about the looks, it's that voice. I would like a Michael Buble sandwhich"
S *Dirty Look*





Trying to show my Oprah necklace, but a blurry pic does not help.


Wondering what I look like after spending all day at home with a headache and cleaning?
Wonder no more.
What I Wore:
Lee Jeans
ASOS top
Peeptoe Heels
Oprah Necklace

To end the night we stopped at Pie Face on Exhibition St and shared an Apple Crumble.

Kailis Pearls & Oprah

This morning my post man dropped a package on to my desk, and said "Have you been online shopping again?!" and I was puzzled as I was not expecting any packages.
Low and behold, my Kailis Pearl Necklace!!
It comes with a certificate of authenticity but I forgot to take a photo, as I am at work I have to be very discreet when taking photos.

Thoughtfully, it comes with a silver cleaning cloth for the chain.


Taaa Daaa.



So hard to take a photo of in the crap lighting at work, and my macro setting was not pulling its weight.
See the black diamond? There is one on each side.
I am going to wear it with out the 'O' symbol.
I feel very lucky indeed.

The big O!!

Unless you have been living under a very large rock, you probably noticed the Oprah circus came to town!!
Mum and I were very lucky to score 2 tickets in the lottery.
350,000 people applied for tickets and only 6,000 won them.
I flew up to Sydney on Monday night and was so exhausted. The people in the hotel room above us were partying until 5AM so I literally had 1 hours sleep.

The golden tickets!


Mum & the tickets.


I know I will keep this ticket forever!


Our day started at 6AM and we were in the line by 7:30AM, and at the very back of the line. People had camped out over night!!!



Sydney went mad for Oprah.


Oprah flags etc.
News crews were everywhere.

Here we are, at the end of the line.
Fantastic.
It did move quite quickly though.
Now we are in the vicinity, and the atmosphere of the crowd was amazing.

Once we made it in, there was no where left to sit.
Some people were taking up spots on the steps that could have fit 3 people, so the event workers had to walk around enforcing that people move handbags and what not.
We ended up with a fantastic spot at the front of the steps section, despite our lateness.

Everyone recieved a bottle of water, poncho, sunscreen and inflatable cushion to sit on.
I was fine sitting on it, but lots of older people around me were very vocal about being so uncomfortable.
There was also no shade, so everyone (including myself) got burnt despite the sunscreen.

They had a short collection of episodes etc that got the crowd really pumping.

What's this?
Why, it's OPRAH!!!!
She walked right past us, but these were the only pics I got in my excitement.
Just having her walk past us felt amazing. She has a really strong fantastic presence.


She looked amazing in her burnt orange outfit, but I imagine she was roasting.
She was so 'real' during commerical breaks etc.


On our feet for BON JOVI!!

Stars featured:
Terri, Bindi & Robert Irwin
Russle Crowe
Jay-Z
Bon Jovi
I don't want to spoil the taping for when it airs, so will leave it at that!!
She gave away $250,000 to a family that were in need. The husband is suffering from both bowel & liver cancer and the wife had gone back to work to support him and their 2 boys.
This was so touching.
She also gave all the students/teachers at a multicultural highschool for boys new HP laptops, Jay-Z's book, re-did the music room and library to the value of $1 million!!






Everyone in the audience was lucky enough to receive a Kailis Necklace featuring:
10-12mm Australian South Sea pearl
0.02ct 'secret' black diamonds
includes 90cm sterling silver chain
limited edition 'O' medallion
We send of for these, and they arrive in 8 weeks approx. They look stunning!!!!
Lots of people were complaining, that that is all we received. In the end, she gave money etc to people who were in need - and that is much more important than the audience getting freebies.
I think that because she kept thanking Motorola, Telstra, Amex, Quantas that the crowd thought we would get free phones.
I personally preferred the necklace!!

CANADA's IMMIGRATION PROBLEM

From The Manitoba Herald

by Clive Runnels

The flood of American liberals sneaking across the border into Canada has intensified this week, sparking calls for increased patrols to stop the illegal immigration. The results of the recent election is prompting an exodus among left-leaning citizens who fear they'll soon be required to hunt, pray, and to agree with Bill O'Reilly and Glenn Beck.

Canadian border farmers say it's not uncommon to see dozens of sociology professors, animal-rights activists and Unitarians crossing their fields at night. "I went out to milk the cows the other day, and there was a Hollywood producer huddled in the barn," said Manitoba farmer Red Greenfield, whose acreage borders North Dakota. The producer was cold, exhausted and hungry. He asked me if I could spare a latte and some free-range chicken.

When I said I didn't have any, he left before I even got a chance to show him my screenplay, eh?”

In an effort to stop the illegal aliens, Greenfield erected higher fences, but the liberals scaled them. He then installed loudspeakers that blared Rush Limbaugh across the fields.

"Not real effective," he said. "The liberals still got through and Rush annoyed the cows so much that they wouldn't give any milk.”

Officials are particularly concerned about smugglers who meet liberals near the Canadian border, pack them into Volvo station wagons and drive them across the border where they are simply left to fend for themselves." A lot of these people are not prepared for our rugged conditions," an Ontario border patrolman said. "I found one carload without a single bottle of imported drinking water. They did have a nice little Napa Valley Cabernet, though."

When liberals are caught, they're sent back across the border, often wailing loudly that they fear retribution from conservatives. Rumors have been circulating about plans being made to build re-education camps where liberals will be forced to drink domestic beer and watch NASCAR races.

In recent days, liberals have turned to ingenious ways of crossing the border. Some have been disguised as senior citizens taking a bus trip to buy cheap Canadian prescription drugs. After catching a half-dozen young vegans in powdered wig disguises, Canadian immigration authorities began stopping buses and quizzing the supposed senior citizens about Perry Como and Rosemary Clooney to prove that they were alive in the '50s. "If they can't identify the accordion player on The Lawrence Welk Show, we become very suspicious about their age" an official said.

Canadian citizens have complained that the illegal immigrants are creating an organic-broccoli shortage and are renting all the Michael Moore movies. "I really feel sorry for American liberals, but the Canadian economy just can't support them." an Ottawa resident said. "How many art-history majors does one country need?"
