Drawing Party LA

Forget about a girls' night out at a bar; bring your besties to ArtWorks Studio in LA and sketch for a few hours- nude male models that is. The Drawing Party package includes a champagne toast, dinner, art instruction and a nude model. The cost is $125 per person for a three hour session and only $100 for groups of six or more. We're sharing this one with our West coast friends and anyone who may be out there soon. Wouldn't this make a great bachelorette party too? 

Bridesmaid Dress Contest

Have you ever suffered the indignity of having to wear coral chiffon or a bow twice the size of Kim Kardashian's butt? The Gaylord Hotels wants to see the evidence and hear the story. And in recognition that, "behind every beautiful Bride, stands a team of supportive Bridesmaids," one lucky winner chosen at random will win a trip for two at one of their properties, (located in Washington, D.C., Orlando, Nashville and Grapevine, Texas) including airfare.

That's Annie, second from the left, as a bridesmaid at her college roomate's wedding in Dallas. While it wasn't a dress she ever wore again, at least it wasn't tie-dyed, Scarlet O'Hara-themed or outrageously expensive as some of the other entrants have confessed.

Enter the Memorable Bridesmaid Dress Sweepstakes.
