A Three Day Trip
I don't know about most of you, but when I go away for the weekend, I generally take one bag of clothes with me and one bag of food. It is mostly food from the four basic food groups. Chocolate, fruit pies, sugar, and potato chips. I do this of course to save on overpriced mini-bar items. That $10 Snickers bar doesn't sound like such a bad deal when you are half in the bag at 3am. For my Canadian friends who may not have Snickers, you may substitute Wunderbar for Snickers which as I discovered are pretty damn tasty and worth sacrificing a few clothes for in order to find more room.
Anyway, how many times can a person change clothes in three days? Even the most finicky person I have ever seen would probably just need one bag a day and that is the extreme. The photos above are the approximately 20 bags that Mariah Carey brought with her to London for her three day stay. 20 bags for her and Nick brought his Spongebob backpack for him. Now, that works out to six bags a day but also does not take into account the fact that I'm sure she will actually go shopping while she is in London and add to this collection. The thing we also need to remember is storing all of these bags. I don't care how big of a suite you have, you know that 20 bags are not going to fit into the closet space they gave her. I'm sure right now there is one of her assistants who is going to have to sleep on a chair in the corner of a room because they have everything from these bags hanging all over their room as Nick stands in front of the television ironing it all.
That's nothing. Mrs. Howell packed twice as much for a three hour tour.
ReplyDeleteWunderbars are the shit! lol..sorry i love em.
ReplyDeleteyes we do have Snickers, but not a fav.
"as Nick stands in front of the television ironing it all."
LOL.
True, we do have Snickers but who eats them? Wunderbars are delicious... but we Canadians have you beat with our ketchup chips. I miss them when I travel.
ReplyDeleteAh, that's just how Mimi transports her servants, Enty.
ReplyDeleteYes, we have Snickers. This isn't the moon, ya, know.
HOLY CRAP. This is just unreal. I don't think I even OWN that much shit, much less take it on a trip...unreal.
ReplyDeletecan someone please fill me in on why people care so much for this woman who dresses like a child? I dont get the whole mariahmania that surrounds her ..for the life of me, much like a neutered dog, I just dont get it
ReplyDeleteMy entire wardrobe fits on a medium size travel bag.
ReplyDeleteThat's so sad :(
To think she's got money enough to buy everything she wants, and always ends up looking like a wannabe 15 year old slut......... LOL
So how much do you tip the bell boys for that?
ReplyDeleteHey, it takes a lot of towels to get through 3 days!!
ReplyDeleteLOL @cheryl!
ReplyDeleteSpanx takes a lot of room.
ReplyDeleteAnyone else remember when she was batshit crazy carrying around that beatup Hello Kitty boombox?
And Jax, I did have your back the other day....
Good sleuthing you guys..
hee hee heeee! This is a funny one, Ent.
ReplyDeleteAt least 10 of the bags must contain brand-new towels, dontcha know...
...which brendalove beat me to...
ReplyDeleteAre you sure none of those bags actually has Nick in it? It's gotta be simple enough to just blow him back up after you've unpacked him.
ReplyDeleteGod, I wish I had enough clothes to fill all those suitcases!
ReplyDeleteThe crazy part is that most of clothes she wears would fold up nicely into a sandwich-sized baggy...

ReplyDeleteI hope this link works; after the day I have had I want to lie down in the middle
Thinking about these posts from the past couple days; I thought of another funny one ala Simon. My work uniform was a slinky affair, black. I had on an unfortunte kermit the frog green bra which was peeking out the side. And I see Sharon Osborne. So I am go over to say hello and she is in her cups. Looks fabulous as always, shoes honestly worth mayabe ten times the amount of my car. She squeals says aren't they lovely, drives into my cleavage, hands inside bra, thumbs round the nipples, quick sqeeze out, gives me a quick smack, then says hello. She never even bought me a drink....
ReplyDelete*girl--
ReplyDeleteWhat are ketchup chips?
Same here, caligirl--how much room can tiny spandex bits take up?
Oh I know--it's all her stuffed animals!
And why isn't this a 20-pc matching set of LV bags, hmmmm?
ReplyDeletelast question--
ReplyDeleteWhat the hell are these dorks doing with those tubes to the right over there? --------->
I don't see the kitchen sink in that collection lol.
ReplyDeleteRare - Is Sharon gay?
I knew it was Mimi when I saw the pix before I even read the text. Glad I'm not the handmaiden or indentured servant or whoever has to pack and unpack all those bags.
ReplyDeleteAnd I'm with you, Donna - I just don't see the appeal there. Her voice isn't even that great. So she can hit high notes - eh.
selenakyle: we live a few hours south of the canada border, so we go up every few months and sneak back with some illicit goodies such as Ketchup Chips (ketchup-flavored potato chips) and Dill Pickle Chips (my personal favorite). Don't knock 'em till you've tried 'em. They're pretty good!
No, just good times.
ReplyDeleteI'm going to show these pictures to my fella the next time he bitches about my luggage!
ReplyDeleteRare, you know the old saying about make sure you've got on nice undies when you leave the house? I wonder what Sharon would have done to a black lace bra?
Mariah's ridiculous.
ReplyDelete@ Rare Avis
ReplyDeleteIf Sharon had tweaked my nipples, I probably would have punched her in the face. But then again, I have extremely sensitive nipples. TMI?
Your link works. I've been there a lot since Michael K posted the link.The puppy sleeping on its back is having a dream and is moving his hind leg. What a cutie. Two are awake and are one is biting too hard while trying to play - causing the other one to cry out. Live stream of puppies with sound...jeez, I'm going to have to take extra care to avoid animal shelters sigh.
To Enty - yeah we have Snickers. And we also have Coffee Crisp - which you don't. Major Yum. Trust.
Oh I would never knock anything involving ketchup and potatoes, trust me! Just wondered what they are.
ReplyDeleteI have to pay $15 for my piddly little bag now because she can afford to fill up the rest of the hold with that crap.
ReplyDeleteThere should officially be a limit of three bags per person per trip, no matter what you can afford.
He, he, he, he, he, he .... Spongebob backpack ... he, he, he, he ...
ReplyDeleteWe do have snickers, but not fond of them. And they taste nothing like Wonderbars either...
ReplyDeleteMmm, but you don't have COFFEE CRISP!!! :D
Now I have to get myself some ketchup chips, you all gave me a craving for them.
lol rare..i wouldn't know i never read any of it! ta though.
ReplyDeleteIt's 11:30 pm and I'm still watching puppies. :-D
ReplyDeleteI went home and bought a bag of ketchup chips last night!
