Neiman Marcus Unveils 2008 Christmas Book
The media gig went down at Texas Stadium hours ago. Kristy Alpert, assistant editor for our custom publications division, was in attendance and files this report:
With hopes of men flying around with jet packs (every little girl’s dream), you have to understand my disappointment when I heard the biggest item this year was the Cowboys end zone. Literally. They are going to sell the Astroturf from the end zone. If you’re a billionaire and expect to weather the financial crisis, the $500,000 pricetag for the end zone includes not only installation but a tailgate party in your backyard with the Dallas Cowboy cheerleaders and a luxury suite for a game at the new Cowboy’s stadium.
Also in the Book: a NM Limited-Edition 2009 BMW Individual 7 Series ($160,000), his and hers life-size Lego statues made in your likeness ($60,000), a Titanium Fighter Motorcycle ($110,000), and an authentic Guinness Home Pub ($250,000).
The best part of the day for me personally was getting my picture taken with Buckets Blakes and Hot Shot Branch from the Harlem Globetrotters (not for sale). The Globetrotters gift get you your own Globetrotters uniform and the chance to play in a real 2008-09 season game ($110,000).
Jump for pics, if you please.

Not sure if I can afford the whole endzone, what is the asking price for the 25-30 yard line area?

Can we use the body of our favorite D/Frontburner staffer and then have our head put on the Lego statue???
It always comes back to Eric without a shirt on…nice subservient.
The current Texas Stadium turf was installed in 2002. The old rug it replaced is the one with the history.
um…ya, I meant “nice Davie Dave”
…includes not only installation but a tailgate party in your backyard with the Dallas Cowboy cheerleaders and a luxury suite for a game at the new Cowboy’s stadium.
Wow, I will never be able to afford to go to a game at the new stadium. Half a mil buys you some fake grass and tickets to ONE game? I am assuming they even threw in a parking pass, maybe?
How much for a piece of skin from one of Jerry’s E.T. look-a-like operations? I think it would make a great throw blanket.
Was today’s annual NM rollout sorta like launching a mega ‘Sun and Sea Sport Water Park’ in Galveston while Ike blew in?
I’m sure the people who can afford these items are doing just fine. In fact, I’m sure they have people they pay to hold on to their ‘effin hats for them.
I know someone who has % per month toward massages for her dogs.
I am not making this sh*t up!
I wonder if doggie massages are in the NM Wish Book…..

Kristy, if you are wondering what your old man would like for Christmas, well–that little motorcycle sure looks like it would fit just fine. ….Love, Dad
