WHO'S PACKING WHAT: CELEBRITY TIPS & TRICKS

Celebrities are sharing their Dinah weekend getaway packing essentials.

Find out what stand-up comic and actor, Bridget McManus, who stars in the popular web series "McManusLand" and pens the daily "Afternoon Delight" column on AfterEllen, puts in her bags to head out to Palms Springs Club Skirts Dinah Shore Weekend:

 

BRIDGET McMANUS:























1.  My wife.  (Safety in numbers)

2. Advil and lots of it.  The best thing about Advil is it's great for hangovers and for an injured groin.  When I dance I dance hard!

3. Tons of cash.  Especially $1 bills to tip the staff and the "dancers."

4. Bring your sense of humor.  You might see some naked women who shouldn't be naked or witness your friend making out with someone they wouldn't if they weren't at the Dinah but it's all in good fun so get ready to laugh.

5. Ear plugs. If you attempt to get some sleep over the weekend you'll need ear plugs because some women don't know when to stop fighting in the hallway and shut off the Tegan and Sara.

Here’s what Chelsey Weber from Canada shared with us.

My name is Chelsey from Yorkton, Saskatchewan, Canada. I moved to Halifax, Nova Scotia Canada 4 years ago. I am 25 years old.

This  year I was a Dinah virgin! Ha ha! I am going again for 2013! When I first came out 6 years ago I was introduced to the L word . Who hasn't seen it right? Well that's how I saw Dinah Shore! I always said one day I'm going to go! So this year my best friend was going through a hard break up and time. We decided we need to go away!

So this was the year we were going to Dinah! Why not a vacation, sun, and great times! So me my girlfriend Heather and Amber away we went! I would recommend everyone has to go! ( and no you don't need to be single to go) ha ha . It was the best time for a couple or if you were single. I met so many great friends that I still keep in contact with.

It was such an amazing experience for myself ! That many people in one spot but not a single person I met was unfriendly to meet you! Everyone was great and so happy to meet you! It gave me a great positive outlook and energy. It's the one thing i'm looking forward to next year is that great positive energy!

So this next year the same people I went with are coming and a great big group from my friends in Saskatchewan are coming! So Kat, Amber, Heather, Nikki, Keeley, Lauren, Nicole, Treena and Cindy lets get this party started !
Dinah Shore 2013!


My five must-have items are:

1. Different bathing suit for each pool party!

2- an out fit for all the parties plus extra ha ha

3- a hangover remedy

4- mouth wash for that extra fresh breath!

5-and your great attitude to have fun !
