I cannot wait to see the scene where Katniss and Peeta are first revealed to the Capitol in their “fire” outfits designed by Cinna! It’s supposed to be a memorable scene where Katniss and Peeta show their district is not to be underestimated nor they as tributes. CANNOT WAIT TO SEE THE HUNGER GAMES!!!
September 11th:
It is my amazing little brother’s birthday..
On this day in 2011, my father was in the World Trade Center and was able to escape. His escape and the intense news coverage that followed the attacks inspired me to become a journalist..
And this is also the day of my very first date with the love of my life..
Every year, I think back on how both tragic and uplifting moments happened on this day for me…it is a day that represents how varied life can be – how a simple day of a year can bring in so many memories and continue to do so over the years.
It would be amazing to win this necklace and have a small token to remember how important September 11 is to me.
I’d love to win this tablet because I’m a recent college grad who majored in journalism. I’m broke every month after paying school loans, car loans, apartment rent, etc. I see the tablet as a great tool for me because I’m always on the go reporting and working – I just can’t afford one myself. I’d also let my boyfriend use it as a great studying tool for med school!
I’d rent a dress for a “comeback”. Every year, my high school has a reunion for all the television/theatre/music kids…its a big Alumni Banquet and we get together, honor someone whose done well after high school…
I haven’t gone in years because the reunion happens in a small southern town where I grew up. I’ve worked on improving my self esteem and image…and working up the courage to go back. I was bullied and teased in high school for being Middle-Eastern, for dressing funny or having frizzy hair, for not being able to sing or dance well…all I could do was be a reporter and I rocked at it but to everyone else – that was nerdy and unfeminine…=/
So I want to make a comeback. I want to go back and show that I do believe in myself now, I do feel beautiful and love the way I am…and no one can treat me like that anymore.
I’d love to be able to come back in a dress fit for the red carpet bc in high school, I was stuck with my mom’s hand-me-downs which made me like 30…or getting clothes at clearance racks at Kohls and Target…I want to look as fabulous as I feel.
But I know even without the dress, I’ll rock it… =) but it’d be an awesome addition to this comeback event.
Christina Applegate inspires me and anyone who else who has had cancer come upon someone in their family. In 2008 after being diagnosed, Applegate bravely underwent a DOUBLE mastectomy.
Long before she was diagnosed with breast cancer, Christina advocated for breast cancer awareness. Her mom is a breast cancer survivor.
Applegate’s organization is also amazing – Right Action for Women. It educates women about breast cancer and encourages them to get screened!
She inspires me because she truly is a role model for women facing breast cancer, and really any woman going through an incredible struggle in their life.
First and foremost – I’m broke! So any prize or gift or free item is heavenly to me. I can find uses for many of the gifts in the bag. I’d love to win this bag and use its contents for myself and loved ones!
I’m a freelancer so the headphones would be great to re-listen to video/audio and well they’d be great for just relaxing to music too!
Designer clothes n’ bags would be a great to have for someone who usually just hits up a Forever 21 and scours for style.
I <3 <3 <3 to cook – cheaper than eating out! so a cook book would be helpful!
I'd give the Tiffany bowl to my mom – she'd love it!
aaaand finally fragrances for my latin lover boyfriend and I? Perf!! =D
I’d get the white one for a friend of mine, Jessica. She’s been out of college for a couple years and trying to find a job in the entertainment industry. I think this ring would be a classic piece of jewelery for her to have and wear to interviews and events!! Her birthday is coming up so it’d be a perfect gift!!
My boyfriend and I will be celebrating our 2 year anniversary soon and it’d be great to look and feel elegant while celebrating it!
We’ve been hit by hard times with him applying to med-school and me having 3 jobs to make ends meet.
What makes me feel good though is that even without earrings or champagne, our anniversary will be special because we’ll be together… =) 2 blissful years and many more to come!!!
