I was thinking of sending flowers to Stevie at the Hotel - wishing good luck opening night from the ledgies.....etc. If anyone is interested in contributing or being a part of this, let me know!


I will need to Know by Monday at 12A.M PST. I have to go work and then am meeting with the Florist Monday Morning! So, If you wish to help out, let me know by then! Sorry for so little time, I just thought of this idea. I will check the last PM's at 12AM and then write the card for Stevie with the names. I leave for work at 1:30am so that is the last time I will be able to add names and know what I have to work with with the florist. Thanks! :wavey:

Maybe through Paypal? Send me a PM and I will get you the info. Also leave a message on what names to go on the card...Also where you are from, she might get a kick at seeing all the place names.

That is a cool idea. I'm not going but would love to contribute.

One of those gargantuan bouquets that would take her breath away. How could she not remember the ledge after that? :thumbsup:

Amber gave me some good ideas, and I think a big multi-flower kind would be great! I am open to any ideas! I am going to order them on Monday noonish for delivery Tuesday afternoon, so I need to know by then if any wish to help on this. (Sorry for short notice, I just thought of it).

How would you ensure that she would get the flowers? Do we even know where she is staying? How would you ship them to her?

She is staying at Ceasars, I will call a florist here in town (I live in Vegas), and they will deliver them to her. I will also call The Casino (Public Realations director) and make sure they get to her dressing room/ hotel room. I will ask for s signed reciept and work through the hotel. They have to much of a reputation to uphold, so they wont mess this up. (I will say it is a surprise from some friends of hers..... which technically we kinda are). :nod: If need be, I will deliver them by hand. :laugh: :p

Send me a PM and I will get the Paypal info to you! :D I just spoke to Caesars, and it will be no problem. I have a florist nearby the hotel (Actually IN the hotel) , and she was very helpful. I just need to give them enough time to make the thing once I know how much I am working with.

I would assume her people are incredibly protective of her and she's sheltered somewhat from some of the things that people say in regards to certain things. However, I think when fans make a big stink about certain issues, they'll eventually get their way back to her (a la black dress, etc.) You don't actually think she introduced color into her wardrobe on her own accord, do you? Those shawls and whatnot we're pulled out the last leg of the tour because everyone kept talking about her lack of color and the fact that she wore the same damn dress. I think the things we say and do are taken into consideration whether we want to believe it or not. Perhaps i'm wrong but it's JMO.

I thought so, too. Although, I'm loathe to send any note without something kind of funny in it. ie, my reference to NOTS. Which is not classy. okay, yeah, I'm only funny to myself, I know... :lol:

okay, to be honest, I didn't think mine was cheesy, just kind of humorous, while referencing a tribute to Stevie, which I thought was a great idea - both acknowledging that there is an ENTIRE EVENT centered around her, that tons of people go to, and also making a joke about how we chose to see the real her, instead. But, okay.

Please make payment to paypal: [email protected] and let me know how you wish your name and city to be put on the card! I will make my last check of emails and pms at 12:30am pst (US). I have to go to work afterword, and I go to the florist straight from work. A few have asked for a photo of the arrangement after it is made, if time allows I will see if I can (Not sure of florist deadline, but will try!) I am going for a large multi-variety bouquet. (Make that HUGE. :p ). The florist I am using is highly recommended so they should do a great job! Thanks again for all those who contributed and I am sure Stevie will enjoy this. :D
