A Big Bag of Fun at the CMTs

Former Idol Kellie Pickler and Taylor Swift were big winners at the CMT Awards (all fan voted) on April 14. But, truth be told, the nominees and presenters won just by showing up. You or I could live very well for a month or two if we Ebay’d the contents of the gift bag given ceremony participants, which included: a pair of jeans worth $225, a fancy skin care system, a one-night stay at a resort in East Tennessee, a pair of Australian shoes ($150), a year’s supply of cafe con leche with bricks of coffee, a 6-month membership in a high-end Nashville fitness center, spa treatments and a two-night stay at a lodge in Colorado, two large Dooney & Bourke totes, a full year of Rhapsody, jewelry, spa treatments, tee shirts, watches, and a waterless car wash with microfiber towels. Well, at least I have the microfiber towels.
