My, My, MY!
Hello Everyone – I was one of the “Joan” impersonators at this event. In fact, at 450 lbs – I WON THE COSTUME CONTEST!
Lol
Let me start by saying I am a HUGE Joan Rivers Fan. I have worked with her in comedy clubs (YEARS ago) and she has come to see me work in clubs in Atlantic City.
My mother and I watched the Apprentice show and we were both screaming at the TV when Annie lost. (OK, Mom screams louder than I do…She is a HUGE Annie Fan!)

I attended this event for two reasons.

One – to help Refugees International. If all of you would just give $10 to this great cause instead of bitching on here – the world would be a better place for everyone…
)
(*that was said with love…*)

The second reason for showing up in full make-up and voice – to meet Annie Duke herself. I have spent years working on stage and TV. I know what goes on behind the scenes when the cameras stop rolling. It is a completely different world. I know what the TV media can “paint” a person to be – they look for “characters” – and I wanted to see for myself what kind of person Annie is (I know what kind of person Joan is – she truly has a heart – she just sometimes voices her opinions a bit loudly – you know what they say – “The Squeeky wheel gets the grease!”) – Besides, she IS an “Elder” in our world – she has seen a lot and experienced a lot.

I got the chance to watch Annie “work” the room – I watched her like a hawk. I was just waiting for that “Ego” to step out and start pushing people away. After all – this is just a fund raiser and it does NOTHING for her!

Ladies and Gentlemen – the woman is a true saint in my books. I was amazed (even after HOURS of smiling and posing for all sizes of cameras) this woman STILL treated each person with respect and gave them her full attention. I don’t know how she did it. I even asked her for an autograph for my Mother – she smiled and ASKED HER NAME!?!? NO ONE IN VEGAS DOES THAT ANYMORE! She took the time to autograph it WITH A MESSAGE to my mother!
The woman is PURE CLASS – I saw this class on TV, and I witnessed it in person.

If you actually MET both of these woman, and you understand the situation, you would find good qualities in both. Annie has her age going for her – at such a young age, she is truly a Lady.

Period.

Please folks, support her cause. That’s what it was all about. The “Joan’s” was a great ATTENTION GETTER and raised awareness for her cause. It’s called “Marketing” and “Advertising”…
DIAMOND DRAW MANAGEMENT really did a GREAT job getting this Event together!

To all the Joan Clones leaving negative comments…IT’S FOR CHARITY!!! Big deal, I personally think Annie is over it…I mean pro poker players are the best at rebounding from negative events, they do it all the time in tournaments. I salute Annie for putting this together, it’s for a good cause and if Joan has a problem with this it only proves her selfishness.

Anon….I was chiding you in a fun way. ( Guess thats my british humour). Taking a sideways slapshot at River’s stupid references about “us” pokah playahs not having last names….being associated with “the MOB”…blood on our money…etc…etc.
Personally…I’ve met some wonderful people whilst playing poker…and watched some wonderful people (some of above mentioned) play. I find them the salt of the earth type. They would give you the shirts off their backs ( except the ones that say “I’mah Pokaah Playaah”), right there at the table if you needed it.
Maybe we can find it on youtube after the event…I know I’ll be checking there for it.

Hmmm…still no mention of Rivers doing anything of the like for her charity….I’m not surprised.

Oh Scott…buy a dictionary. Go back and read Annie’s twitter where your St Joan came at her with the name Annie Douche….I believe that qualifies as name calling…at least it does in polite society…But, I’m sure you’d know nothing about that.
If you act like an ass, don’t get insulted if people ride you.

Ankaret –

My question was not a negative one. I absolutely love this idea. A positive event done with humor. Oh so clever. I love it. My question was a vague (apparently too vague) reference to JR’s comment that ‘her people’ didn’t have last names. For me, that would be just one more thing to giggle about. I was actually hoping this event could have been televised or at the very least receive massive amounts of coverage.

Again, kudos to those responsible.

SORE looser is the bottom line. BTW – Joan said NOTHING negative about Annie on QVC so stop spreading lies. Annie needs to take some responsibility for HER nasy mouth and stop laying all the blame on Joan Rivers. Annie’s obsession about this loss is obvious.

Celebrity Apprentice was biased towards Joan Rivers. The evidence is that she should have been fired as project manager during the jewellery auction episode but instead Nathalie was fired for her jewellery picks which Joan assigned her to. Also Joan came back to the show when she repeatedly mentioned that she would walk away if her bratty daughter Melissa got fired. How annoying were those 2 to handle watching episode after episode — the CIA should consider using watching Joan and Melissa instead of water boarding.

Annie Duke was the obvious winner. And I believe she also holds the record even beating Morgan Piers. She raised almost HALF A MILLION USDs!!! For God’s sake, that is INCREDIBLE!!

The show is about RAISING MONEY, that is what the point of the show is.
