Who's already getting ready??

[TabbyKat Boutique]

So there was a post that lead to this group being opened, it didn't get followed up and its closed now to replies so I thought I'd start a new thread. So who's already getting ready??? I know I am, not am i just getting myself ready i'm working on stuff for my boutique and for the models that I will be having at Viva this year. So if anyone needs some great custom vintage clothing let me know I have some fabulous designs. But anyway I'm very excited and can't wait for this coming year its gets better every year that I go.
Someone asked about bowling at VIVA, there is a group that bowls every year for a tournament type thing, there are trophies and even bands this year. It's on Saturday at 5. there is more information about it at their myspace. myspace.com/ FGBL Its a blast every year and the group of people are fantastic. You dont have to be a pro or anything of the sort its just for fun and a little competition.

This is my first Viva! I am so excited! I am already in a Vegas state of mind, it's been that crazy of a year! I can't wait to see all that is Viva Las Vegas! It's my second trip to Sin City, so at least I can navigate around the city okay. Can't wait to see what you have to offer!! ~Jenny

Oh me, me, me! I have already bought a few small things and am making lists for other etc. I agree with Jenny this has been a crazy year....and we are ready for this more than ever. Last year we almost didn't go cause money and life were stressful, but made it anyway. Well, we've somehow made it through another year with new beginnings and this Viva is gonna be amazing!

I haven't bought any clothes yet, I usually have a few pieces with me but buy from the vendors when I get there. I lose so much weight every year before Viva that I have bought dresses in the past beforehand then not fit in them come time to go to Vegas. I had a beautiful dress custom made for me one year....that was too big when I did a final try on, took it to an alterations place and they RUINED it. Charged me an arm and a leg, too. Never again!

We are also making alot of changes/replacing things/saving for parts on our 54 Chevy too. This will be the first year since '06 that she is going to Viva, so we want to make sure everything is just right.

I am so ready for the BEST car show ever......because our car will be there. We've missed out bringing it for the last 3 years from lack of money and needing alot of work.....now we finally have it back again and there is nothing like having your car with you at Viva. It just makes an awesome time even better.

I'm still not 100% sure i'f I'm going to be able to make it!
The week before i'm supposed to go to St. Louis for a trade show, I might not have the excess of funds to go to both :(
If i dont go this year, I know i will go next for sure!

[Bridgette Jean]

I'm slowly getting ready...

i'm waiting for Christmas...hopefully getting some new clothes or shoes **hint,hint boyfriend**!! I cannot wait, it's going to be a blast! My very first Viva!

[Dear Daniel]

omg, omg, OMG!!! I can't wait for VIVA!! I'ts only December and I am already excited. I wonder if I am just gonna get trashed on PBR and not remember the whole flippin' thing (totally JUST kidding folks)!!! I can't wait to see those of you I know there and I can't wait to meet those of you I have not met in person yet!!

[Kristy C]

Oh no, don't get me wrong it's not really an involuntary thing ;) well, kinda. I like to book shoots at Viva, so I diet and excercise a little more than usual....I mean I really bust some butt. I also get stressed out over saving money, amongst other things. Last year my husband and I stressed so much trying to get our car ready to take that we both hardly ate for about two weeks. Him because he was working 12 or more hours a day on the car and I was working extra shifts to replenish the $$ we were spending on parts! We do tend to stress a little every year beforehand but it's SO worth it.....

Oh I'm glad about the tournament! I'm a terrible bowler, but it's still fun...I mean I'm really bad (I've never gotten a score higher than 88) anyhow I'm so excited about VLV, it's my first time...yay!

[Drea DeVille]

I hear you guys about the weight loss thing...I'm at weight watchers working on my girlish figure! and yeah, I want some clothes for the trip but don't want to buy stuff now so I'm building my accessory wardrobe, and working on getting fabulous hair and nails...what are the vendors like at VLV? does it really work to just buy some pieces there? (do the venders lower the prices at VLV?) I don't know what to expect.

I'm making clothes, stocking up on merchandise, because I'm considering getting a booth.....I can't wait to see all you lovely birds there! ;)

[Jenny Starr]

I found when I went to California last year I packed more than I needed because I bought things out there. I'm not sure if I should learn from that experience and just pack a few things and buy the rest? But can a gal really overpack? So what's in having to buy an extra suitcase to bring it all home right? I decided to crack down too and am going to work my butt off to drop the last 15-20 lbs. More so to tone up so I feel confident around all the beauties that will be there! I just can not wait!
