MOTHER'S DAY AND DOLLY PARTON! Week of May 15, 2006

Belle Aire and Bingo-boy started off the week in Palm Springs with a "Day After Mother's Day" Mother's Day bingo night. As usual, the crowd was fun and frolicky.

I don't know who's mother this is, but I doubt she's really a top.


Andy from 333 Bed & Breakfast brought his beautiful mother...and she brought all of her bingo good luck charms- including a miniature bottle of Tabasco Sauce (?). All of that luck kept building throughout the night until it burst forth and she won the grand prize game.


This family had quite a night. The father was paddled for his birthday, the mother was paddled for her false bingo and the son just thought "payback is a bitch!" They also won a few games and some raffle prizes!


"DOLLY PARTON" VISITS WEHO LEGENDARY BINGO!
Okay. so it's not really Dolly Parton. Her real name is Sandy Anderson and she is one of the world's only female Dolly Parton impersonators. She came to Wednesday night bingo to call a few games as part of an episode of "Plastic Surgery Before & After" on The Discovery Channel. When she walked in, the crowd just stared with their mouths wide open. In person, you wouldn't be able to tell the real from the "fake."


"Dolly" came outside and did a little "visitin'" with waiter Tye and Door Diva Donna.

BINGO FLASHBACK!

Here are a few bingo memories from the Legendary Bingo Vault...

Tori Spelling was a lot of fun. We held a bingo night to raise money for her animal rescue and she made sure the place was packed. At one point, we were auctioning off a beautiful diamond necklace that Tori had designed and, to up the bidding, she offered to give a LAP DANCE to the high bidder. The WOMAN who won the necklace was thrilled at the "90210" lap dance and I will have to say, she did quite a professional job of it. Pics of the "Lesbian Lapdance" ran in all of the tabloids. Tori and I live by the same rules- anything for charity!


When "My Big Fat Greek Wedding" star Nia Vardalos came to Legendary Bingo, the place went wild. Not only was she a great guest but very generous with her talent for the charity. Someone offered a big donation if Nia would sing and she broke out with "I'm Just A Girl Who Can't Say No" from "Connie & Carla." Nia brought down the house!


Okay, come on now. Ed Asner at bingo? When his publicist called me, I said "Are you sure he'd have fun doing this?" She assured me that Ed was a great guy and up for a good time. Ed showed up and it was as if royalty entered the room. People were speechless. Ed sat down to eat and took his sweet time doing it. Finally I decided to start the evening and said to the crowd that our celebrity guest was "still eating." Ed stops between bites and yells out "Yeah, and I'll bet you're too goddamned cheap to buy me dessert!" I-love-Ed-Asner.

BINGO AT HOLLYWOOD'S GARDEN OF EDEN
On Tuesday night, May 2, Belle and Bingo-boy invaded Hollywood's beautiful Garden Of Eden nightclub to raise money for Planned Parenthood. More than 300 people jammed into this Hollywood Boulevard nightspot and enjoyed food, drink, raffle prizes, silent and live auctions and of course bingo. The event raised more than $15000.00 for Planned Parenthood programs!


Belle Aire relaxes out on the lush patio with Billie Jo Niedlinger, Director Of Special Events for Garden of Eden. Looking good girls!


A look at some of the crowd for the event. There seemed to be "daubin' people" everywhere you looked!


These two good looking volunteers were selling raffle tickets. And selling raffle tickets. And selling raffle tickets. I don't think they ever stopped!


Near the end of the event, Hila (who was my point person for the event) got up and thanked all of the hard-working volunteers. Unfortunately, Belle Aire fell asleep during her speech.
Or possibly her false eyelashes were glued together...

THE SET DECORATORS SOCIETY OF AMERICA (www.setdecorators.org) and UNDER THE BRIDGES AND ON THE STREETS (www.underthebridges.org) were the beneficiaries of a wild night of Wednesday night bingo at Hamburger Mary's.

Cherry Fillin' arrived in nurses drag and raised everyone's pulses!


Peter Gurski is the set decorator for "Four Kings" and "Twins." He and friend Janet cuddled up (platonically) and were great live auction bidders. A note: Peter often paints his toenails in bright colors and patterns. Just thought you might want to know.

Our good friend, actress Lisa Ann Walter ("Shall We Dance?") was our celebrity guest and somehow drank ten "Big Gulps" while on stage (you can see the cup in the picture) . Believe it or not, she only had to pee once! Where the hell does it go? And...does she sleep?


Waiter Tye is usually more friendly than this. But look at those green eyes....
