Well,

The time is nigh for my trip to Omaha to meet with Glen Nunn, (yes I know his name is Greg, I call him Glen), the other member of the VCCC Convention Committee 2007 that will be with me to select our hotel for the convention next year.

My dilemma now is selecting the appropriate outfit for flying to Omaha where Glen will meet me. Unfortunately, Glen has let the cat out of the bag that I am arriving tomorrow and it seems nearly every flight is full as throngs of people want to see Helen Lawson, live and in person. The trials and tribulations of stardom. But without my fans, where would I be?

So, I've selected three outfits for you to preview and weigh in on. This first is somewhat coquettish but maybe too much leg and it could be chilly. Any feedback?

H. Lawson

I thought this somewhat racy two-piece would please the camera but my Grandmother might think it too, "unsavory". But it still might work with a mink topcoat.

If it is raining, an umbrella can come in handy and this Pucci print is always a draw and crowd pleaser.

The side ponytail will NEVER go out of style too!

Well, I'll have to think about it overnight and reveal the results tomorrow.

I vote for a neck to ankle large-collar trench coat, scarf, big-frame dark sunglasses, and a very large-brimmed hat worn low on the nose.

You don't REEEALLY want your fans to recognize you -- the mob scene could be quite ugly.

Besides, where would you hide your make-up kit, kotex, Saturday Night Special, and flask??!

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Helen, darling...

Definitely number three.. Pink seems as though it'd be a good color on you. I agree whole-heartedly about the side pony tail.

And, yes. Pucci! Pucci! Pucci!

Darling Charles,

Menopause struck and was struck down nearly 5 years ago! Make up, pistol and flask...........absolutely!!!

And, a freshly washed limousine for a star of the first magnatude ala Joan!

Stay tuned for Helen's outfit tomorrow.

!

wore that bag for the opening number in, "The Ziegfield Follies of 1932", but it was cut!!

Then, can you believe Hoover had the nerve to steal own of my gowns and use it for a pattern for a VINYL bag? The moxie, the verve, the nerve, the chutzpah!

An "Adrian Original" turned into an outer bag for a machine that collects trash and dust. The horror and embarassment are beyond words.

However, that convertible was one hell of a vacuum and attractive to the eye. Maybe I should have bought more stock............

You could make your own outfit rather than buying something off the rack...

is THAT what Helen Lawson looks like without makeup???????!

i TOLD Oprah she should NOT wear Naomi Campbells outfits!

I understand that Nebraskans overall are fairly down to earth and slightly more reservered. Flash and showiness might not go over too well so I strongly recommend that you're always wearing panties.

Well, now, that would be a new one! I don't think she owns any.

THIS is Helen Lawson without makeup! Only somewhat frightening.

Helen in costume and makeup for her latest show---the only thing that comes out of a Helen Lawson show is Helen Lawson. And thats me baby.

And by the way IDA, Helen does own panties. I just got back from Switzerland where I bought scads and scads of black lace longerie.

I even have panties to work out in. See photo!

Glen, Greg,,,

I hope your ready for this. Always plead the 5th and use this line - Officer I really don't know this person - He just has been following me.

Helen is now packed and ready to go and great the fans! Nothing purer than winter white and very appropriate.

I still have some lovely seeqined gowns you can borrow if you would like for a tasteful evening on the town. I can recommend some lovely fabulous restaurants to go to...

Have a safe trip, hun

Thanks you all this has been sunshine in my very bad day. Thanks you all Thank you Thank You What fun

I hope I'm not too late but I might suggest you bring your furry muff for that outfit. You'd be surprised how cold those prairie winds can be on exposed skin.

Is that Helen Lawson will be departing from Omaha (if she makes it out alive) for St. Charles for the vacuum gathering here. I am not sure what she has packed (it could be anything guys) but it is sure to be interesting. We will fill you in on the trip on a daily basis when the star arrives (at of all places, Chicago's Midway Airport.) I have notified the Chicago paparazzi of the Thursday arrival. It should be plastered all over the tabloids shortly thereafter. Thank goodness Tarantula Arms is heavily guarded. Here is a picture of Ida Corwin meeting Helen at the police substation at Midway. That's Helen in the foreground. She must have taken someone's suggestion to wear fur to Chicago.

I bruise easy!

You`ll bruise even more if you get on the "WRONG" side of our Greg....LOL

I took this at a "Thrift Store" we hit on at last years AW convention...

Well, being the sleepy town that Omaha is famous for, Helen's arrival wasn't quite what she'd probably hoped for... Only a few photographers that kept a respectful distance - thank heaven! After unpacking her trunks (See photo) we toured the collections and had a glass of wine to celebrate her arrival. Today, we have hotel visits, lunch, hotel visit, hotel visit and then on to some of the exciting opportunities that may await at thrift stores and vacuum shops. Have a wonderful day all!

You Guys Are Too Much!! I'm rolling on the floor laughing here... Can't wait to meet you all.....KirbyKid

Well, I got done what I came here for. A hotel has been selected and it is probably the nicest the club has ever had during my membership.

After Miss Ida Corwin adds the "Convention News" tab, I will be providing all kinds of information with links and photos. Later, I will post our agenda and even our menus!

Greg snapped this photo before I even knew what had happened. I told the convention sales and catering rep that I was ready to sign and not with one of those lousy ballpoints. I then told her to get off her ass and earn her oats.

However, my smart red suit and brooch had caught her off guard. Don't think I didn't notice how she undressed me with her eyes......Who has a light?

You better plan to attend in Omaha or don't plan to show your face here again. Wyoming is not that far away. Start making plans.

Helen Lawson

And how lovely that you have your own MySpace page where your adoring fans and minions can worship you!!!

doesn't hold a candle to Joanie's.......

Well I guess you won't see me on here anymore then..............KIRBYKID

Kirbykid, please understand that much of what I write, (like others), is in fun and in "Helen Lawson" character so don't take anything personally! The folks that know me will vouch for this, I'm sure.

I, as well as others, want you to be here posting and enjoying our fun, (yet wacky), sense of humor. Remember, we are here for vavcuums and fun.

We will look forward, of course, to your next post!

Helen

And I'm not kidding. This is how Ida greated me at the door door today while shouting, "Give me back that wig!"

Should be a fun afternoon.
