Some may remember this; if you're new, read on.... ;-) Date: Wed, 07 Apr 1999 22:43:22 +1000 From: Kooki kooki@tig.com.au Subject: Bee Gees "One Night Only" Miniature stage Souvenier offer The Odessa Fan Club scoops the pool again with this fantastic offer. Cop this ...... THE BEE GEE ETTES ONO Souvenier issue. We have negotiated with overseas maufacturers to produce something very special for Bee Gees fans and members of the Words list: We offer you . ..... An exact, excruciatingly lovingly hand crafted, complete, exact 1/20th scale duplicate of the Bee Gees "One Night Only" stage setup. It includes....... The magnificient Bee Gees stage complex lovingly copied in detail. The complete instrumentation. Models of the backing band. and ..... Three miniature Bee Gee dolls. You get a Maurice Doll .... complete with non-removable hat and attached keyboard Maurice Doll has right index finger raised and about to pound out intro to "Spicks and Specks" A Robin doll ..... complete with fully removable, very obvious, poorly designed, ill-fitting and totally ridiculous looking hairpiece. In this regard it is very authentic. And finally a Barry doll. The Barry doll comes in a choice of two models. Firstly, dresed in black trousers, black shirt and removable black jacket and sweating profusely. The second Barry doll (designed specifically for various female Words subscribers) comes completely naked. Unfortunately for the previously mentioned Words subscribers, the Naked Barry comes complete with large accoustic guitar, mounted in a lower than normal position. Frustratingly worse still for those fans, the guitar is non-removable. But then to cap off the entire Model ...... Cop this...... The Bee Gee - ettes actually have mechanical mouths enabling the models to sing along to the entire ONO song set to accompanying backing tracks which are digitally recorded and installed in the model backstage. To keep the entire experience as close as possible to the real thing - all mouth movements are programmed to be slightly out of time - thus duplicating the much loved lip-sync technique. Demand will be huge for the BEE GEE ETTES so get in fast. These will sell like Bee Gees concert tickets. Remember - once they're all sold ...... we'll get more made. Just send $750 cash to: Kooki President Odessa Fan Club Sydney Australia and if we have any models left by the time your money gets here, we'll send you one. Good Luck from Kooki and the Odessa Fan Club --==*Anne...>> bgfan@sympatico.ca So you must not be frightened if a sadness rises up before you larger than any you have ever seen; if a restiveness, like light and cloudshadows, passes over your hands and over all you do. You must think that something is happening with you, that life has not forgotten you, that it holds you in its hand; it will not let you fall. ~ Rilke ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 22 Jun 2002 18:27:25 EDT From: DiniH@aol.com Subject: Re: Stephen --part1_cd.1948c247.2a4653cd_boundary Content-Type: text/plain; charset="US-ASCII" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit It's Stephen's project, Dad's just helping out.
