451 Press Network-wide Contest
If I had $300 dollars I would buy________.
What would you buy with $300? Or even $200 or $100? Now is your chance to find out! Comment on any 451 Press site during the month of August and you could win! Three comments will be chosen at random to win a cash prize of $300, $200 or $100. The more you comment the more chances you have to win. So start reading and let those fingers fly.
As a special treat, I’ll also be listed some interviews with your favorite Bravo stars asking them what they would do with an extra $300!
Note that you can comment on any 451 press site (and as many times as you’d like) for the entry to count. However, if you comment right here on this thread, you’ll be in the running for an additional prize from me. The catch? After you say what you’d buy for $300, say what you think a Bravo star should buy for $300.
Example: “If I had an additional $300, I would buy that Coach purse I’ve been eying. For $300, though, Howie should buy some headbands or hats to keep the sweat from dripping into his food!”
or
“I wish I had $300 to buy new school clothing for my kids. Joey should use an extra $300 to start a fund to send his family to Italy like he had wanted to do!”
You examples can be not only from Top Chef, but also from any other Bravo show, past or present seasons.
The prize? A free one-year subscription to your favorite magazine on me. Comment today!

Let’s get this party started…
If I had $300, I should put it towards paying off student loans
… but, knowing me, I’d blow it all on clothes. Mmmm…new clothes …. *drool*
Remember Uli from “Project Runway”? If she had $300 she could buy some rockin’ print fabrics …and then maybe make me a dress? …Mmm…new dress made by Uli … *drool*
haha. I heart clothes.

If I had $300 I would buy a nice mini-vacation somewhere for my anniversary.
If Kathy Griffin won $300 she should bribe the paparazzi to take more pictures of her.

With 300.00 I would take my 79 year old mom to the Hollywood History Museum in the old Max Factor building in Hollywood. She was a disc jockey at radio station KMPC in the 1950s and used to get her hair done there. Today it’s a museum of movie props and costumes. She has not been to that neighborhood she was so much a part of in more than 30 years. I would love to see her excitement and hear her memories of the area. I would then take her to a fun dinner at Mels Diner next door and spend the night nearby in a nice motel. The next day I would take her to the Chinese Theater and see a movie. The 300.00 would pay for her 2 days in Hollywood very nicely and of course, I would pay my own way to take her. Best wishes, Christian

I would probably save the money for some nice gifts for my family, or spend it on some materials to make gifts.

If I had $300 it would go towards either a writing retreat or a new stove. I want both so very much :).

If I had $300 it would go towards my car fund. My car was totaled in an accident six months ago where they blamed me because I had a stop sign and he didn’t. However, he was speeding and my insurance company found seven other accidents (all in different cars) on his record. They decided that he probably hit me on purpose–the Russian Mafia runs a car scam out in West Sac where the accident happened. They were going to prosecute him, but they conveniently decided it was just a coincidence after I dropped my policy. In any case, I only had liability so now I have no car. We have decent public transport here in Sac, but it is still very difficult to go without after having had one for so long =(
I think the person on Bravo who needs $300 the most would have to be Paula Abdul. She could use it to buy medication for her many mental illnesses…she’s just a little too weird for me

If I had three hundred dollars, I’d probably use it on plane fare to go visit my family cross country.
If Santino Rice had $300, he could use it to go to charm school.

If I had $300 I would buy the compressor that dh needs to fix the air conditioner in our van. It’s miserable here in the south with temps in the high 90’s and heat indexes of 100+.
