Oh, my, my, my! Rumblings of special treatment in Las Vegas. All involving a blanket. What is it with bedding over there? As it turns out, $300 does NOT get you a meeting with Susan. An insider with a cheap seat sashays right on in past you. But......she is not talking!!

Just who DID order that blanket for Donny with Susan's picture on it??? I have a pretty good idea who delivered it, though.--- And yet some holders of high price tickets didn't even get to go backstage as they'd been promised.----Hmmmmm.--

So there have been quilts, a blanket, what next?? How about 3 Snuggies. One with Susan's picture. Another with Donny's. And a third with both! No need to thank me for the idea.

Oh my, not another one...... only it was a blanket this time instead of a quilt. I wonder how those fans feel that didn't get to attend the delivery. ?? I guess there is one that knows for sure... or maybe more. ??.

I don't think anyone begrudges the fact Donny got a Susan blankie - great idea and great PR! BUT someone has been a bit sneaky-poos!
What flabbers my ghast is that it would seem Susans team continue to do sneaky things that create a lot of ill feeling among Susans fans - not just the aggressive pursuers of Susan but the rest of us who more quietly admire her and buy her music.
It would seem fans are being used and manipulated by the team people! And from within the fan-sites too. It is just not ethically or morally right.

For the $300 ticket fans who did not go back stage to see Susan or deliver a blanket.
Is the team using fans ?? ...... If so, this is how some feel.

Now it has been publicly announced on twitter. FOUR big bags of gifts. I seem to recall ALL sorts of apologies from team SUBO after the NYC M&G which was just for SBFII insiders. A promise to include ALL forums in Susan events. We here NEVER hear from team SUBO.

No, I think it is because if they asked us to produce a blanket, this is what they would get................

The in crowd, you bet, and they plan to keep it that way. Access to Susan seems to justify just about anything, shame.

I just keep remember my school days in elementary and high school and the teacher's pets. The only thing, these are grown-up teacher pets.

"Now it has been publicly announced on twitter. FOUR big bags of gifts. "
Hm.... This helps me understand the very wise M&G policies set in place for another international singer... In her M&Gs, NO gifts are permitted, people more-or-less go through a rather quick-moving receiving line where they can shake the star's hand,say "hi" and such, but no hugs, no other touching, no photos, no requests for autographed personal items...... Once the fan is through the line, he or she receives an 8X10 glossy print of the star that has already been autographed by her, and maybe a couple of other little trinkets and sent on the way..... This makes good sense to me for any number of reasons. It certainly eliminates any appearance of favoritism and it eliminates fans attempting to "buy" the star's attention and glean special privileges for themselves.

Yep. "Four big bags of gifts" has got to equate to "currying favor." No other explanation for it.
