Well, Kimmer, my boundless altruism continues to amaze even me. Knowing that your big reveal is today (April 30th), when you bedazzle us all with your latest photoshopped picture and remarkable weight-loss numbers, I thought I'd share this recent blog post with you from Cat's House of Fun.
Cat gives some excellent tips on what you're going to have to spend to wedge your abundant arse into comfortable seating at those Las Vegas shows you'll be taking in on your big trip to the Fun City in July.
"Las Vegas Show Tips for Fat Chicks
For those of us in the "fatter than average" category, oftentimes going to theatrical shows can be a problem. Live theaters are often fitted with the smallest seats on Earth. It's been years since I've been to a Broadway production in NYC, but man, I still remember the pain of the cheap, nosebleed TXTS seats we had for one performance. The seats were ultra narrow and the rows were just as narrow. I spent two + hours crammed into a seat with my thighs around the head of the person in front of me. No where to move. Aaack.
Anyway, for my recent birthday, I wanted to go with my friends to a show in Vegas that would be accomodating for the fatty-puffs in my crowd. The two that came up in my searches were the couch seating for Zumanity and the Wynn's VIP seating for La Reve. Zumanity was dark that week, so no luck there. La Reve showed no seats available for the nights we were there. Booo. I didn't have a lot of lead time, so I didn't find any other spots available. So, I pretty much trashed the idea.
To make a long story short, my sister ended up calling around while we were down there. She found out that La Reve had one VIP seat available and the rest of the party could sit in the row directly in front. BONUS! So, yeah, because it was my birthday celebration, I got the VIP ticket with champagne, chocolate covered strawberries, my own sweet waitress, an LCD screen with underwater action...and...and...the most comfortable live theater seat I've ever experienced. ME! The fat chick! Comfortable at a live theater performance! Yeah, it was a good night! The champagne was good and the strawberries weren't half bad either.
The only drawback to the VIP seating -- the price. If you're going for a special occasion, the $200 isn't tooo...tooo...toooo bad. It's only ~$50 more than the regular seats, so if you're fat and fabulous (or even just fabulous) and looking to have a sweet water-filled theater experience in Vegas, check it out! Even the regular seats were larger than typical seats, not super comfortable for super-size, but not bad for average size people. Oh, and, I love the Wynn as a casino and restaurant stop, too -- extra comfy slot chairs and yummy food. A great all around experience in Vegas! Here's info on the show at the Wynn. "
Really looking forward to seeing you on The Strip, Kimmer. Won't we have a time?

Well, that was pointless
Well, thank you, dana, for your pithy but humourous comment.
Remember the first Jimmy interview:
"Now, a slim size 4, I look back and wonder what took me so long to get serious? I now fit into theater seats without even touching the arms!"
Yeah, right!
Thanks for your comment, Mariasol!
That was the point of my post, but it's obvious dana missed it.
I'll have to be mindful in the future that not everyone remembers (or have chosen to ignore) Kimmer's many lies.
