You can’t help but thumb throughout the fashion mags after a Hollywood award show to see what the celebrities wore-the good, the bad and the utterly shameful. But one aspect of all of the glitz is that the goody bags that the celebrities take home. Sure, it may take an whole paycheck (or 2 or three) to manage only one item from these hush-hush swag bags, but we still want to know what’s in them. What is so intriguing about millionaire celebrities (who can stop working now and still live more smoothly than the general populous)getting free stuff that we’d eat Ramen noodles for a month to own?
Maybe it’s because celebrities set the trends-and even when you’re not a closet E! News devotee, you are going to run out to purchase those sexy sunglasses Paris Hilton was photographed sporting. As much as it pains us to think of the unfairness of it all-stars hold a good deal of clout when it comes to product endorsements-the reason businesses load up them with free loot. So, even in the event that you believe you’re definitely the most stylish accountant to grace corporate America, thousands of people will not buy leopard-print pants simply because you wore a pair to the office party.
Okay, so what’s in the bags? It might be a Gaiam’s Organic Spa Experience, complete with European-style glass aromatherapy essential oil diffuser; organic cotton towel; organic cotton robe; soy pillar candle; botanical shampoo, conditioner, body lotion, body scrub and cleansing bar; Meditation and meditation CD sets; and a Maize storage chest.
Celebs at the recent Academy Awards shot home a Motorola Special Edition Black RAZR V3. In a keepsake and customized Jonathan Adler box (sorry people, this tricked out version of the Motorola’s popular mobile is a celebrity exclusive).
How about a two-night remain for two at Bernardus Lodge in Carmel Valley, California valued at $2,500? Www.bernardus.com Or a sterling silver choker/braclet/earring set made of pearls and Bali beads by Cathy Jordan?
To keep track of celebrities’ 15 minutes of fame, guests can take home a Fabio Micucci Fabio Micucci (no, not that Fabio) hour glass. And presenters at a past Oscars obtained a Micucci crystal decanter with a sterling silver stopper (perfect for those celebrity offspring born with a silver spoon. . .oh you understand what I mean)
It is a bitter pill to swallow but we know you will be breaking out the Best Ramen (and I am right along with you).
