what does it mean to be willowy exactly?
Answer
OK here goes - don't get mad now. You did ask for it.
Past - Totally pink bedroom. 250 stuffed animals on the bed. Each one had an adorable name and you made your father kiss each one of them good night every night (after reading Cinderella five times!) so you could avoid going to sleep. A precocious child, you used to wear your favorite Disney Princess costumes to pre school. Carried a Barbie lunchbox to first grade and by third grade graduated to Bratz. HUGE Full House fan. Wanted to be just like DJ when you grew up. Knew all the words to the score of Pocahontas. Sang Colors of the Wind at your Elementary School Graduation. Your mother cried.
Present - Redecorated your bedroom - now 60's retro with shag carpeting and the essential lava lamp and bead curtain on the door. Threw hissies every night for a month until you got your own phone and computer hookup in your bedroom. And then you talked the folks into the cell phone - properly bling covered just like Paris's. Middle school Princess O Prep. Never go anywhere without at least one Lisi Harrison book in your backpack. Know all the disses by heart and use them liberally to the amusement of your own clique. Madly in love with this kid in your Social Studies class who looks just like Zac Efron. He is like so hot! Favorite stores- The Gap and Old Navy. Your mother named you Claire after the Molly Ringwald character in The Breakfast Club - her absolute favorite movie ever. Thinking about getting a tongue piercing. They look so cool. Spent the summer on this boring vacation with your parents in Disneyworld listening to your two younger sibs fight. When you come home, you are heartbroken to learn that the guy in your Social Studies class has moved to California with his parents. Your grades suffer severely due to the depression.
Future - After college, you move to New York and pursue a career in the fashion industry - landing your dream job as Calvin Klein's personal assistant. What the job entails is going to Starbucks twice a day to get Calvin a double mocha latte - skim milk with a sprinkle of cinnamon and a blueberry muffin. He only eats the tops. You feed the bottoms to the pigeons in Central Park on your way home to your fabulous studio apartment after work. You become his muse and his 2012 collection is called The Claire Look. Pretty in Pink. At Fashion Week, you happen to run into the real Zac Efron who is now working as a house painter in upstate NY (all former child stars end up as house painters). You fall madly in love and move to a little town just outside Buffalo. Your first winter there, it snows 17 feet and you lose Zac when he slips off a ladder while clearing snow off the roof and dies in the resulting avalanche. Luckily he is insured. You buy a brand new Ford Edge (Blazing Copper - just like Derek Jeter's) and move to Florida where you get a job playing Sleeping Beauty at Disneyworld. You end up married to the guy named Howard Astaire who plays Captain Hook. Your name is now Claire Astaire and you have two kids - twin boys you name Chip and Dale.
That should about cover it. Enjoy your new life. Pax - C

Im looking for a story about Coca Cola's past sweepstake where they gave away a private plane
Yocrunch4
I think the winner outsmarted coke by buying a million bottles of coke and then just resold the plane for a cool profit. Could anyone find me an article about this.
Answer
It was Pepsi, and the promotion was called "Pepsi Points" back in the mid 90s (the current version is "Pepsi Stuff").
Here's the original commercial that started the whole thing:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZdackF2H7Qc
What happened was that Pepsi ran a promo where they advertised that if you saved up your Pepsi points you could get all this free stuff from them, like backpacks, video games, etc. At the end of the commercial, it showed a kid landing a Harrier fighter jet in his school parking lot with the caption "Harrier Jet: 7,000,000 Pepsi points," which was later changed to "700,000,000 Pepsi points" when they got sued.
What happened was that a guy noticed that the contest rules allowed customers to pay $0.10 a point for a pepsi point to make up for gaps they might need to claim a prize, so he borrowed $700,000 from his lawyer and sent Pepsi a check to claim his 7,000,000 Pepsi points, then demanded his jet (which was actually worth $22 million). The trial was a farce and the judge found in favor of Pepsi since the ad was clearly a joke. The guy suing them didn't get a dime out of it.
