    That's our Glitzgirl! That's the same dress as she posted up. Does anyone feel famous by association??


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,553 ✭✭✭Tarzana2


    Hey glitzgirl, something I've wanted to ask you. Did you put a lot of effort into your LLS application? I so didn't put any effort in, so no surprise I wasn't picked. But I wondered if the application mattered that much or if it was just random. They'd get so many applications, I can't imagine they'd read them all. Just curious as to what it takes to get into the audience! :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,631 ✭✭✭dublinman1990


    You were very lucky getting onto the Toy Show Glitzgirl. I hope you had a great night sitting in the audience for it and getting all the goodies.

    Can't wait for your report back on the show. I'm glad you made it there in the end.

    Hi tarznana2 yes I wrote a detailed application! Saying that now a lot of people there knew staff and or someone working there. I'd say maybe one third of the people were given tickets by production crew etc.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,737 ✭✭✭Glitzgirl


    And you got 2 millennium falcons :(

    Yea Mr glitzgirl was thrilled! I'm sure my son will be too ! In more excited about the vouchers and the trip overnight ! :)

    No excuses :D

    I'm joking of course! I hope you're having a lovely lie in after a week of madness.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,737 ✭✭✭Glitzgirl


    Morning or well after noon at this stage! I was so excited I still didn't get a proper night sleep. Sorry for the delay x where we have to pick up the kids the Internet us non existent and we stayed for a while chatting to his family :) don't worry I'm well up !


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,737 ✭✭✭Glitzgirl


    Ok ! So as most of you know I was unbelievably lucky with my tickets ! So I was not expecting great seats! :)

    TICKETS!
    We got the call for tickets Monday night and I honestly screamed down the phone at the poor girl , sorcha, who rang us! MR glitzgirl applied as a surprise for me (secretly hoping we wouldnt get it at all I'd say ! ) but boy did he get a suprise when we got that call !!! :) naturally I spent the whole week not sleeping rushing around looking for Nice clothes and booking apps etc ! Was honestly best week ever! You could just feel the Christmas spirit in the air all week. And by b Wednesday everyone who even spoke to me knew I was going ! Even my poor bin man lol :)

    Someone had asked if I put in a detailed application and tbh I am pretty sure i know what Mr glitzgirl wrote so yes would have been very detailed! They say the tickets work on a lottery basis and I think the majority of them do ! However ill mention an observation later about the ticket allocation !


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,737 ✭✭✭Glitzgirl


    Sorry I'm doing this on my phone app so have to break it up a bit !

    ARRIVAL !!

    The day stated out fantastic. I was so excited I felt like a child at Christmas waiting for santa. While I was doing the school run I was sitting in traffic when I heard on beat that the theme had been revealed and it was beauty and the beast. Well (bearing in mind I was sat stationary in traffic with a man in a car stopped the other side of me!) When I heard the theme I started screaming and banging the steering wheel with excitement ! That is my favourite Disney movie. The year I'm going it's beauty and the beast ! It's faith !!! It's the year of Glitzgirl :D the poor man beside me got such a fright he didn't know whether to stare or ask did I need help !

    A lot of prep work had gone into getting ready for the toy show ! We were given very specific details via email to say we must check in between 8pm and 8.30pm as door close at 8.30pm so naturally I left the house ridiculously early as was outside rte studio at 7pm. ! :) we have to drove through an check point where a lovely guard asked why we were here, to which I leaned across from the passenger side right in front of Mr glitzgirl and screamed we won tickets to the toy show !! The security guard shared a polite bit exasperated look with Mr glitzgirl as if to say ... uh you poor git. .. and then said enjoy smiled took our details and gave us directions to park and reception.

    It was bloody freezing and the doors wouldn't open til 8pm sharp so everyone waited in their cars. Two lovely ladies in the car beside us had cookies and passed some through the window so we all sat there windows open shouting across to each other and admiring all the kids going in who were obviously performers. It was just magical and real spirit of Christmas feeling. Everyone was polite and caring and sooo excited. Here are some pics of rte studio entrance all lit up !
