Shania possibly embarking on an acoustic tour...and you're not invited

Swissredcross052910-rita5


Shania Twain has hinted at possibly heading out on a tour of sorts, but don't get too excited because more than likely you wouldn't be invited.

Unless, of course, you're a poor starving person in a third world country, then you might just be invited to the concert of a lifetime.

Shania attended the 2010 Swiss Red Cross this weekend and told reporters (translation here)...

For its ninth charity gala, the Swiss Red Cross has chosen to celebrate "the splendours of India". But it was also the opportunity to talk about these country forgotten by the media who suffer from poverty, malnutrition and diseases. Bangladesh, Bolivia, Togo, Swaziland, Cambodia and India also. "Major disasters are silent and insidious", falls under René Rhinow, President of the Swiss Red Cross. To quote the Mahatma Gandhi: "You must be the change you want to see in the world!

Honorary patron of the Swiss Red Cross, Shania Twain - accompanied by her companion, Frédéric Thiébaud - Saturday embodies this change. She who has more released album six years (an eternity!) and who intends to engage in a somewhat special tour. "I would like to visit people, perhaps desperate in sensitive areas, and bring them comfort through of music", she says. "I imagine something very simple, in acoustics...". "This would be a great source of inspiration!

Although playing an acoustic tour to bring music to soothe the soul of the impoverished Cambodians and Swazilanders would be a noble cause, I think going on an acoustic tour for your fans and asking for donations to send supplies to those people might just be a better tactic....of course that might just be coming from the point of view of a fan who really, really wants to see Shania in concert.

I think my husband has those same sweats in red

Tim and faith sweats

Faith and Tim were spotted in the wilds of California after taking their three girls out for burgers in Beverly Hills on Saturday.

I must say that I love that Faith isn't afraid to be photographed in her sweats in celeb-crazy BevHills, although it kind of amuses me that they look exactly like the red sweats my husband has hung onto (and still wears) from high school.

Happy Memorial Day everyone

Cross%20in%20flag

Happy Memorial Day to all of my American friends out there.  And to the rest of the world, please take a moment and say a prayer for your own military folk. 

I will be here all day.  Not that I will get much accomplished, but I will be here.  Son has like $30 of birthday money currently burning a hole in his pocket so we will be making a pilgrimage to Game Stop at some point today.  Joy of joys.  We usually go the cemetery to place flags on hubby's family military graves but it's raining today and so that annual stop will unfortunately probably be skipped. 

Anyway, I hope all your Memorial Day celebrations are safe ones.  Eat some barbecue for me, say a prayer for soldiers past and present, and enjoy your day.

Your vote counted! Here's the winner of the CMT Music Awards tix

2008-cmt-music-awards-tickets

Hey, lookie, lookie, I'm getting the winner of the CMT Awards tickets up on time. 

Seriously, I deserve a Kewpie doll or something. 

Well the voting went great and despite the issues with the first voting method, it all went off without much of a hitch and I think it's pretty safe to say that with over half the votes Danny won the tickets for his big little sis (my bad) Kayla. 

Thank you everyone who voted. Now let's hope that Kayla will pay it forward like her brother did by sharing some great photos from the June 9th show!

Reba covers Beyonce

Wow, this is kind of cool and unexpected.  Prefer Beyonce's version but Reba does a pretty darn good cover of If I Were a Boy.

Thanks Greg for the tip.

Wow, Hell apparently froze over while I was gone

 

100526-ent-willie-hmedgrid-6x2_163255_M

Hey everyone, I'm here.  Woohoo.  I would say sorry for being gone but I'm really not.  Last week was wildly crazy.  My son's 10th birthday was last week on the 25th and this week was my kids' last week of school so I volunteered and helped out at their schools a lot.  Basically spending my week with screaming kids and frazzled teachers sort of wore me out and by the time I got home I didn't have any desire to hit the computer.  Not sure how teachers do it on a daily basis.  Kudos to them. Then the family and I went on our first camping trip of the summer.  We got rained out but it was fun while it lasted.  Anyway, I'm sorry that I disappeared, but not sorry enough to have regretted the last week.  Bad thing is, my grandmother is having quadruple bypass surgery on Thursday and if I can finagle my way over to Seattle, I will end up being gone again.  Not sure if it will happen, but a head's up just in case. 

Anyhoo, I come back and guess who decided to get a fancy little page boy haircut.  None other than Willie Nelson.  I am sorry I missed the national inhalation of breath and OH MY GAWDs that I'm sure accompanied the above picture first made the rounds. 

No word on why Willie decided to cut off his famous locks (although I did read that he may have just been tired of the upkeep) or whether the braids will end up as an exhibit at the Hall of Fame.

voting issues

Hey everyone, when you vote for the CMT ticket submissions there is a glitch that it will say you've already voted, but rest assured that your vote has counted despite what it is saying.  I know it's annoying but no worries.  It just has to do with recognizing your IP address and blah, blah, blah.  I know some of you have been worried that your vote hasn't been counting, but it has.  I will find another polling site before I run another one of these so I don't freak anyone out, but for now just know that your vote has counted and if you click the view results it will show you the numbers going up.  Remember, though, you are only allowed one vote so if you have already voted, it shouldn't count it a second time. 

Just to be on the safe side, I added a second poll that you shouldn't have any trouble voting on.  It will only allow you to vote once (excluding the first poll). At the end of voting I will just add the two polls together. 

Thanks everyone who has voted.

Today

Gads, sorry guys.  Today is my son's 10th birthday (he keeps reminding me that he's "in the double digits" now) so I've got a bunch of running around to do and will be busy most of the day.  That's what happens when you're queen procrastinator.  I will try and be back later. 

Make sure you vote for your favorite CMT ticket contest submissions here.

Finally! Here's your contest submissions to vote on

Vote

Oh geez, guys, I'm sorry about being so late with this.  I completely spaced off that I had told my sister that I would babysit her two boys yesterday while she and her hubby went his niece's college graduation so my house was a little too bustling with active children to even attempt to post anything.  Then my sis never came back to claim her kids until after midnight so my day was completely shot.

Anyway, better late than never I always say. 

Sooooo.  I had so many wonderful submissions for these tickets and wish I had a bunch of tickets to give away.  Unfortunately I only have one pair.  I had a lot of heartbreaking submissions, but I wanted to make your choices varied so there was something for everyone.  But with so many great submissions, I'm glad that you guys get to make the final decision instead of me...it's just too much pressure.

To read the submission and vote, just jump to the next page....
