Re: Chance to win a trip to meet George Clooney--only $10

Haven't we seen the winner somewhere before ? $I\'ve got an idea2$

by LizzyNY on Sun 02 Feb 2014, 21:30

Had to go back and take another look - don't think I've ever seen her before, but she is a familiar type. Attractive, thirty-something. Maybe she reminds you of one of his exes.

by Lighterside on Sun 02 Feb 2014, 21:34

She reminds me somewhat of Luciana, Matt Damon's wife. Not an identical twin mind you, but she resembles her slightly....same overall coloring/look.

by Atalante on Sun 02 Feb 2014, 22:19

A long time ago on Kimber's site, no ? $I\'ve got an idea$

by NotAvailable on Sun 02 Feb 2014, 23:59

Well, Atlante...can you go find any info on that and maybe pics? Interesting to see where that might lead. And I say might because prolly just some coincidence.

by ktsue2002 on Mon 03 Feb 2014, 00:17

Since this was such a good fundraising, I hope they do it again.

by Butterfly on Tue 04 Feb 2014, 20:25

Hey! THE DATE is tonight! Smile

Shall we open a new thread for posting pics of George on red carpet in NYC?
It will be very exciting to see him with the winners. Also, is it possible to watch the Letterman show on internet live?

She looks like Kimberly Russell. I hope they are having a ball, and I spot Nick Clooney in the background.!!!

by ... on Wed 05 Feb 2014, 00:28

Nick Clooney has a small part in the movie, so even more reason to attend the premiere. cheers

by melbert on Wed 05 Feb 2014, 01:02

Well, I know I am un-tall, un-pretty and un-skinny, but DAMMIT, it shoulda been me!!!

by ktsue2002 on Wed 05 Feb 2014, 01:04

I am happy for them, but I got to admit, I would have loved to had his hand on my back.

by ... on Wed 05 Feb 2014, 01:14

@melbert - Nina Clooney is petite and she looks better beside him than many of his past dates. Smile

Especially those who tower over him like he's standing in their shadow, looking rather feeble.
(Anyway, just an overall generic image observation. Not criteria. Off topic.)
....
I'm happy for the lady who won. It's a wonderful opportunity for her & her little girl.

by Maggy on Wed 05 Feb 2014, 03:46

Thanks Ocean for the picture!

Glad to see his dad there!

But, YOU ARE GOOD for us, for so many others, just as you are Mel!! I love you

I am happy for the WINNERS Jean and Victoria too... Smile

by Butterfly on Wed 05 Feb 2014, 05:21

Thanks for the link Ocean!

But...where are the pics from the red carpet? It has already happened by now.

BTW, I love Nick Clooney as well, he is such a nice and wise man. Smile

by Butterfly on Wed 05 Feb 2014, 05:45

Sorry...I just saw that Ocean opened another thread about the premier. Smile

Anyway, there are no pics of the winners walking the red carpet. Shocked

I guess that was not possible because it would be shocking for the little girl...but I am not sure....what do you think?

by LizzyNY on Wed 05 Feb 2014, 06:09

I didn't see them on the red carpet, but they did show them in the green room on Letterman, along with George's parents.There was a man sitting with Jean (the winner). I wonder if he was her husband, and if he was, did they include him in the other events, too? Maybe he was the guest and they paid for their daughter to come along.

I hope you get to see the interview. It was fun.

by ktsue2002 on Wed 05 Feb 2014, 06:22

That guy is the organizer with Omaze!

by What Would He Say on Wed 05 Feb 2014, 10:01

All went off very well, for everyone.

Great idea....I'm in for the next one....

I just need to get "lucky" ....

Thanks PAN great video. He is so nice. I love you

by Joanna on Wed 05 Feb 2014, 19:11

Thanks pan....that was good.
He's such a control freak ! Lol Lol

by theminis on Wed 05 Feb 2014, 19:42

How cool was that lady when she met him, I would not have been. Good on her, lucky lady

by party animal - not! on Wed 05 Feb 2014, 19:49

I know! You're having your hair done, you've got Lara Spencer interviewing you (as you do!) and then............!!!

by theminis on Wed 05 Feb 2014, 19:51

our dream date just saunters into the room cool calm and collected.

by Joanna on Wed 05 Feb 2014, 20:50

I'd imagine it was all well planned for the cameras...
still a nice moment to share though.

by Maggy on Wed 05 Feb 2014, 21:38

Thanks for that vid, Party animal!

Isn't Stan just too cute? Makes me want to give him a big
bear hug and kiss him on the forehead Very Happy

If I were that lady and seen George the salt-and-pepper haired man,
I would had screamed hysterically and given him a monkey hug Laughing

by LornaDoone on Wed 05 Feb 2014, 22:10

She did great and her daughter was just too cute.

And hey, lucky them, they got an extra day in NYC. Of course if was snowing but I'm sure their hotel etc. was taken care of! They'll have plenty of pictures & videos to remember the day and that little girl is going to be famous in her school!

Glad they enjoyed it!

by party animal - not! on Thu 06 Feb 2014, 14:21

Anyone for pilates and chia seed ? She really knows her stuff!

Wow, amazing.

That was very informative.

Thanks, party animal!

by melbert on Fri 07 Feb 2014, 01:38

So that's why Stacy posted the picture of her breakfast with chia seeds this morning? hahahaha

by Butterfly on Fri 07 Feb 2014, 05:41

I didn't see anywhere who were the 10 lucky winners of flowers with personal note from George Clooney. It would be fair from Omaze to share this publicly.

It was just before the closing of the contest (on the last day) that I got a message from Omaze saying that whoever pays additional 10 USD, only on that particular date, will be eligible to win a bouquet of flowers with a personal note from GC. I paid. I don't feel good about this because they didn't reveal the winners. It would be interesting to see if they are all from the USA.

by Carla97 on Fri 07 Feb 2014, 07:31

I assume you checked their website.
Pyramid scheme? Suspect

by party animal - not! on Fri 07 Feb 2014, 19:23

by Nicky80 on Fri 07 Feb 2014, 19:43

Thanks PAN, kind of disappointing as she confirmed she did it because of going to NY (and charity)and not to meet George. Kind of funny

by Atalante on Fri 07 Feb 2014, 19:56

That guy is freaking out: " She left George Clooney ! " LOL ROTFL

Crazy Americans !

by Butterfly on Fri 07 Feb 2014, 20:26

Thanx so much party animal - not! for finding this interview!!! Very interesting and detailed description of the whole event.

I agree with Nicky - it's very disappointing indeed to hear that the winner is not a Clooney fan. Shocked

That's why she behaved (on the GMA show) like she was meeting just any guy, without excitement. Sad

OMG, they should have picked me!!! Crying or Very sad

Also, it was interesting what she said about the flowers....they first told her she was one of the 10 finalists who won flowers with a note from GC. But...how is that possible if only people who paid on the last day of the contest were eligible for flowers. Now even more I am interested to hear WHO actually won the flowers.

by party animal - not! on Fri 07 Feb 2014, 21:21

Thought it was very thorough of them to get it down to ten and chat to them via the flowers line - and I'm sure when she said she was keen to support Satellite Sentinel, His Nibs would have been really pleased and it probably cinched it for her

Flowers were available prior to the last minute email depending on the level of donation you did.

by Joanna on Fri 07 Feb 2014, 23:45

I've lived a sheltered life Maggy so....
What are monkey kisses please ?

I keep thinking of the baby monkey that George loves
so much. Lol

by ktsue2002 on Sat 08 Feb 2014, 03:32

I think we are getting too technical. I don't think they interviewed to see if they are the right fit nor do I think flowers were given to top 10 winners. I think it was a plow to get her on the phone or skype to say "You win."

Also I don't buy the idea that she entered the contest for Sudan. I think she just said that. I think like us, she had the hots for George!

by melbert on Sat 08 Feb 2014, 06:11

When she was talking to Lara, she went on about how good looking he was. I believe that she believes in his "cause", but it was more about going to NYC and meeting him. IMHAO

Monkey kiss? just a big wet one.

Since I cant PM you... I didn't know George loves or has a baby monkey.
How come no one ever mention it?

Ktsue, I don't think that lady had the hots for George or know of his works.
She said, she got an email from Omaze about the donation to supports Satellite Sentinel Project.
I doubt she got an email from a George Clooney fan site.

I think for many ppl " it's the full package" (ahem) that is so attractive. Humanitarian work put the tin hat on it for me. I like a good prank... But I probably wouldn't have gone week at the knees for just bits of the whole like that.

George is all over the top deck of the buses in London, I will take a pic and post it, it's so sweet!

by Pari on Sat 08 Feb 2014, 11:23

Thought she did mention someplace in her post-event interview about being/wanting2b good example for her daughter... Smile

so a lot much of her actions may have been thoughtful of that aspect... or so I think Smile

by party animal - not! on Sat 08 Feb 2014, 12:12

Is there any way to access in the UK video of the news item Lara Spencer had to deliver with Our Hero by her side on GMA?
