I am going to blog about my entire weekend later, but have to post pictures from the highlight of our trip now.
We took the subway down to 14th on Saturday morning (it was beautiful) and roamed around awhile and ran into the ONE person Linda knows in NYC (it was crazy). Well, upon her recommendation we went to a bagel shop on 21st street. After eating breakfast we just turned the corner and started to walk down that street to check it out.
Well, we come across a camera crew, red carpet, red ropes and madness.......oh and Joan Rivers standing out front wearing a veil and tiara. We asked what was going on that someone said "A wedding dress sale, and the proceeds go to charity. Sign your name here, we'll take your picture and you can go inside and shop." Linda and Mariellen were like "Amy!!! you have to go in and try on dresses." So in we went.....
Well, come to find out it was a taping of The Celebrity Apprentice for this upcoming season. We didn't realize that right next door to the first place we went into was the opposing team also selling dresses. So, the two teams were competing by selling wedding dresses to earn the most money for the charity....we got all this information from some of the girls helping with the dresses. The celebrities wouldn't say what it was for.....:)
A funny part: To try the dresses on you had to go in one big room with all the other girls and just get naked and put on dresses. So...seriously, Joan Rivers, Melissa Rivers, AND Khloe Kardashian saw me NAKED.....I mean nothing but my underwear on...no bra...NOTHING.
We saw:
Joan Rivers
Melissa Rivers
Khloe Kardashian
Clint Black
Herschel Walker
Brian McKnight
Tom Green
Anyway, in the first shop I tried on this really pretty dress, but it's just not my style (big and poofy)...but I got my picture with Khloe Kardashian while I was in it....and she said she loved my ring! :) hee hee. Next door I found a dress that I REALLY liked, and considered buying it....but I just didn't know if it was "the one." Brian McKnight said if he believed in marriage, he would marry me I looked so pretty in the dress....HAHAHAHA (he was trying to sell a dress!). I was just eating it up. And Tom Green, who was suprisingly VERY nice and funny brought me a rose.....it was too cute. I just kept thinking about the one movie I have seen he was in...disgusting! Clint Black gave Mariellen, Linda, and I a guitar pick....makes me want to learn to play the guitar! Linda and Mariellen were great, snapping pictures...and zipping me into the dresses, and bringing me champagne! Anyway, I didn't end up buying the dress, but have an even better idea of what works for my body type....and we met celebrities!!! So, look for my 15 minutes of fame when celebrity apprentice starts....January I believe. I am really hoping I'm not really on the show...but they did film me...SEVERAL times. I will be SO embarrassed. But, it was too fun to pass up.....
Linda and Mariellen, thanks for helping me try on a million dresses and being wonderful friends...I love you both..and can't wait for next year!!! :)
