Hahahaa I forgot! Matata's name is now mytatas!

LOL YT! I wonder if Mr. Kroshka is responsible for renaming Matata.....

BTW YT - It was lovely meeting you too, wish we had more time I'm jealous of the prize you won!

He is!!!! How did you know!!! It was hilarious!!!!

 

[Matata]

Hahahaa I forgot! Matata's name is now mytatas!

Now how did you find that out?? I don't remember you even being in the vicinity when I was rechristened. And what about "what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas"? Mr. Kroshka is a rascal.

I'm hurt!!! I was right there!!! With Madelise, resonance of life and Mr. Kroshka!

LOL, ah, and you thought he was a "gentle soul".

I think Madelise & Enerchi might agree with your assessment though......

I'm with AGBF as Vegas not being my cup of tea.
But I gotta admit the evening skyline is lovely, especially while sipping Cabernet Sauvignon on the balcony of a classy penthouse above the strip.
I just felt like, all that and a bag of chips.







The view from my window.

In my defense, I had quickly downed 2 vodka tonics (the desert air makes me soooo thirsty) and may suffered some memory slippage.

Hey ... I was the photographer but nobody told me about any mammary slippage?

They were Slippin' and a-slidin', peepin' and a-hidin', movin' and a groovin' all over the room (apologies to the late Buddy Holly). If I recall correctly, you were kneeling behind me taking pics of folks on the other side of the sofa. You were too absorbed in your work.

WOW, that view was amazing and you captured it PERFECTLY

 

[kenny]

This would be your view if you passed out drunk. (Don't ask me how I know this. Okay, I read it in Reader's Digest .)

I laid the camera on the floor and pointed it up at the bling spotlights in the ceiling. (that's the kitchen oven)
Andrey knew the ceiling and lighting was the most important requirement for his annual pilgrimage of disciples.



MayK, you are wonderful.

 

[Deactivated member 42515]

That's not me
That's Madelise! Wish it was me! She looks so cute in this pic!

 

[Deactivated member 42515]

Oh, and I also think she didn't want her pictures on here

 

[kenny]

EEK.
My sincere apologies to both of you.
The pic is gone.

 

[Dancing Fire]

Bebe trying to sell Skippy her collection of naughty pics of Dancing Fire.
Skippy says, "You're joking, right?"

Skippy said she'll pay $5k...

 

[Skippy123]

I don't think I posted this here but Catmom is such a dear one. and also some eye candy! Catmom, I think that necklace would go great with your gorgeous Ring

 

[bright ice]

I will list my ctw for my pieces. My 3.10ct OEC, 3 ct oec ear rings, 5ct diamond bracelet, 3+ct french cut band, 2ct diamond necklace, several carat of melee in my other rings, all probably come to around 18-20 ctw not including the colored stones.

It was such a blast meeting everyone. The PSers, Whiteflash staff, James Allen, Jon, Garry (Cut Nut), PS staff, the GIA guy, others who I can't remember. Food and drink were fantastic, the view was absolutely gorgeous.

I can't wait till next year, I'm already planning.

 

[kenny]

And Andrey, you get more handsome in every pic ....... (uhm, I wonder if I have a second bottle of wine in the kitchen.)



Congratulations Pinkjewel.



Congratulations YT!



Miraclesrule, you look so happy.

 

[Deactivated member 42515]

Oh my goodness! My face! Haha I was like uncontrollably smiling!

 

[kenny]

Terrible technical quality but I love MayK's expression.




This beautiful painting was donated as a door price by a member.
Someone please, let's credit the artist since Kenny was not alert enough to remember the name.



Here's what everyone else won.
Actually it's a very cool shirt and is exactly what I wear every day.
Thanks Andrey.

What are you trying to say? I'm boring???
Beggars can't be choosers!

I'm sorry I'm not as funny in real life! Now I'm gonna go sit in my corner and pity cry.

 

[bebe]

I'm hoping if I sleep in my Pricescope T-shirt, my bling dreams will come true !!

 

[JaneSmith]

Oh my goodness, this thread is hilarious! It looks like everyone had such a great time. I'm envious!

MOAR BLING PICS!

 

[Gypsy]

That ring that Gypsy has on is for sale, by the way. I need to alert Phoenix to this thread! I know she wanted higher color, but I am being totally honest when I say I saw no color in that diamond!

Super wonderful to finally meet you, Gypsy!!!!

It was great to finally meet you too DS!!

I think that ring would be incredible for Pheonix. And I agree about the color! (I don't think that's my hand though. I have a similar pic on my phone of it, and it's the only pic I took all night. The ring was just that lovely).

OH. And I ran it under my ASET scope while I was there. It lights up bright red. Which was no surprise given what it looked like to the naked eye, but just in case Pheonix asks, it totally gets two thumbs up from the ASET.

Gypsy I'm sorry I missed you at the TGT (I missed Kenny, Catmom, and many others, ugh for leaving early!) I did talk to Erica and Grace about this ring and I think they have a very interested buyer so if someone wants to alert Phoenix I would do so ASAP.

I'm sorry I missed you as well.

Next year, hopefully we'll be able to meet!

 

[Gypsy]

You have my permission Kenny.

Thank you for asking.

Here is Gypsy admiring her new OctaCZ donated by Wink of High Performance Diamonds.

It's a CZ version of KarlK's Octavia diamond design, and is available in various colors or white in sizes from 6 to 12mm.
Karl modified the angles to accommodate the different Index of Refraction of the material.

I'm jealous and wanted to win one.



Remember those books, "Where's Waldo"?

.............. Where's Enerchi?



That's it.
I have a dozen more, but am waiting for permission from:
Mr and Ms Gilberson, from GIA
Dave Atlas
Debby Wexler, from Whiteflash
Michele Sigler, from James Allen
Cehrabehra
Lieve Peeters, from Crafted by Infinity

Then there are a few pics for which I do not know the name of the subjects.
I'm guess I'm stuck on those.

It's not like I can post their pic to ask who they are so I can them ask for permission to post their pic.
Darn.

Lastly, I'm sorry I didn't get pics of everyone.
That doesn't mean I don't love you.

YT: You were an absolute blast! <3 Twinnie
