Ladies' Day at the Races - Melbourne Cup

AussiePam · 11-02-2009, 04:02 PM

Ladies - the whole of Australia stops round 3pm this afternoon. Time is suspended. For two minutes we are magically transported out of the everyday into some lofty realm where the champagne is vintage, our designer outfits show off our perfect figures, our menfolk are rich and handsome.... and all that jazz.

Anyway.... I made a list of 24 Forum Garden ladies who have posted in the last day or so - and there just happen to be 24 horses available. Tempting to match people up - but I did it fairly... picked each person's horse out of a hat... Here they are...

If I'm relatively sober after attending a gathering at the local classical music radio station.. hic... I'll post the resuts. Oh and there will be cyber prizes, of course.

First place: A ForumGarden male of your choice will take you to cyber dinner.

Second place: A ForumGarden male of your choice will post you a music video showing his deeply passionate feelings for you

Third place: A ForumGarden male of your choice will post you a limerick

Last place: A ForumGarden male of your choice will post you an emoticon

Hi Kaylene - I thought it might be a bit of fun.

I give my word that the horses were randomly picked... I am a little embarrassed after a recent conversation with my friend Kathy - that I couldn't unfortunately guarantee her the Irish nag... and lo and behold!! It was obviously meant to be.

I have no idea at all which horses are good ones... I hope Harris Tweed does you proud, Kaylene.

My horse from last year is, I think, still swimming towards the finish line. Maybe Shocking will be shocking and win this year!!!

Kathy - Master O'Reilly is green with a few yellow stars

Harris Tweed is red and black vertical stripes

Shocking is dark grey with orange diamonds on a slant.

OMG Pam,

I am so excited...how many hours until the race....Let's see It's 6:30 P.M. in Noo Joisey....so it must be 8:30 A.M. in Oz....

So that means that we have 6 & 1/2 hours to hear the good news in Noo Joisey

WoooooHoooooo....Just enough time to get my hair done, have a massage, get the nails and toes done, put my party dress on and have a champers .....or a few... before I meet my FG date for the night......

OK...Here's my party dress that I'll wear when I win my date today.....Do I look nice.....
