Look, it’s too easy to get exercised about the proliferation of luxury gift bags at awards shows and their free distribution to multimillionaire celebrities. Families from Joplin to Japan recently lost everything they own in disasters lasting mere minutes, and here we are receiving press releases about the new “custom-designed 2011 MTV Movie Awards gift bag for celebrity nominees, presenters and performers attending the live event.” That’s life, I’m afraid. But as we all rummage through its high-end contents, maybe the question to ask ourselves is: “How much of this crap would I actually want?”
The full contents are listed below, with the context of each left intact. Basically it’s like winning everything on Wheel of Fortune at once without having to shell out for a vowel or risk going bankrupt — with the possible exception of those designer Barbie shirts, which are going straight to Goodwill. And how about the “professional hair dryer, ceramic straightener, ceramic styling iron, heat protective counter pad/travel pouch, and styling brush used on the set of The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn”? As though presenter Blake Lively isn’t put together enough without the hardware used on Kristen Stewart.
But! You can’t pass up free vodka. What here would you keep?
