WE DID IT!

We reached our goal! Actually, we went over it, raising $243.29! Thank all of you who donated to this project! You're amazing!

Anyway, there's been new people interested in this project, and I am thankful for that! I've received a lot of questions on how to participate, so I thought I'd just do a really quick and simple explanation so everyone is clear on this.

• If you send postcards, they do not have to be store bought. If you're creative enough in Photoshop, you can design it there, just make sure that it is the standard postcard size (I think it's basically 4x6).
• Birthday cards for G-Dragon do not have to be store bought, as well. You can make them by hand or in Photoshop.
• Postcards and birthday cards can be funny or heartfelt. Whatever you want! You have no limitations on how creative you want to be!
• Everything must be written in ENGLISH! (If it is store bought, obviously the writing on the card itself can be in your native language, but your message must be in English!)
• You must include your name, age, country, and your twitter and/or me2day on each one.
• All cards must be placed in a larger envelope and mailed to me.
• You have to email me asking for the address! tkpa [at] live [dot] com. In that email, tell me your name, your country, and your twitter name. This way I know I should be looking for yours in the mail and if I don't receive it I can contact you.
• NO GIFTS! We've already decided on what to give the boys. No small gifts. I'll mail them back to you if you send them. If you insist on giving the boys extras like candy, then donate so we have enough funds to pay for it.

The maximum number of postcards you may send is six (6). Either one for each member and then one to the group, or all six to one member, a few to one and a few to another, whatever you want! The maximum number of birthday cards is two (2). If you live outside the United States, I seriously and highly recommend that you send them immediately. Depending on the postal service you choose, it could take up to a month for me to receive. Please send them out as soon as possible so I receive them in plenty of time. If you live in the United States, your deadline is July 10th.

Now, we reached our goal for the gifts, but we still need a bit extra so I can properly (meaning, nicely) wrap them and then ship them out. Whatever you can give will be greatly appreciated, and any amount is needed. Even $1 helps! Just click on the donate button at the top of the sidebar! Please choose "Personal" then "Other," or else Paypal will deduct fees.

You do not have to use PayPal in order to donate! You can use Western Union or do a bank transfer. Please email me tkpa [at] live [dot] com and I will get back to you quickly with the info!

If you're new to the game and are wondering what gifts we have decided for the boys, then here you go:

For T.O.P

For G-Dragon

For Seungri

For Taeyang

We are doing a custom embroidered hat with "SOL" on the front at a diagonal angle. The hat will be black and the stitching will be white.

As soon as it arrives, I will be posting a picture, so don't worry!

For Daesung

Okay, we don't have anything for him yet, but I have the biggest Daesung lover on top of it, so rest assured, it will be taken care of!

So get your postcards and birthday cards in the mail as soon as possible and spread the word! If you and your friends want to mail them all together, that is okay too! Tell all your friends about this! Deadline is approaching FAST so let's try to include everyone, okay?

Thanks!

My Bad!

When adding up the calculations for the total cost of the gifts, I completely forgot to add Daesung's gift into the mix. I really don't know how I did it, and I don't know why it's taken me this long to realize that I did it ... but regardless, it's about time I figured it out, right?

Rather than the $210 amount I said it was going to be, it's actually $235. Not that big of a difference considering ....

WE REACHED $208.26!

Exciting, right?! A little bit more to go until we're able to purchase all the gifts, and of course, once they're arrived safe and sound I'll post pictures so you can see them!

However, we still need a bit more just so I can wrap these nicely and then have enough money to ship them to Seoul! So whatever you can give will be amazing! Even if it's just $1, a little goes a LONG way!

And you don't have to strictly resort to PayPal, either! If you'd rather do it by bank transfer or through Western Union, please email me and I will email you back with all the info you need.

Also, you don't have to donate in order to participate in sending the boys postcards and sending G-Dragon birthday cards! This is open to everyone! (Oh, and yes, if you have a me2day, you can add that link to the postcards and birthday cards!)

Deadline for sending them to me is July 10 if you live in the United States. If you live outside the U.S., I highly recommend you send them as soon as possible so I receive them in time! (Again, email me asking for the address).

One more thing ... sorry I bailed out on BIGBANG Friday yesterday. My laptop battery died after running like a land tortoise, so I decided to just skip out on the frustration. I'll make it up to you (I always do!).

Donate! Spread the word! START WORKING ON THOSE POSTCARDS/BIRTHDAY CARDS!

Mmm, Dae Cakes!

Okay, not many of you know this ... but I love to bake. And, not to get all egotistical or anything, but I'm pretty awesome at it. I'm always looking for new things to bake and try and if I see something that makes me start drooling just at the name alone, I have to bake it immediately.

Anyway, I came across this one recipe for cotton candy cupcakes. Yes, you read that right.

Cotton. Candy. Cupcakes.

But I am renaming them Dae Cakes. All you have to do, really, is just print out little pictures of him and stick them on top (replacing the pictures of the cupcakes). And even if you don't want to use pictures, they'll still be Dae Cakes, simply because I said so.

I haven't made this yet, but I'm seriously tempted to make them this weekend. You can find the recipe here (along with tons of other really, really, sinfully delicious things ... this website will cause me to gain five hundred pounds, I just know it!), courtesy of CakeSpy. They look really simple to make and aside from the insanely cute factor (just like Daesung himself!), they have one important thing that makes me want to have these every day for the rest of my life:

THE HOLY UNION OF COTTON CANDY AND CUPCAKES.

Enough said.

BIGBANG Captions Part I

G-Dragon: We have the same hairstyle, Tae!

Taeyang: Why does he get to stand on the box?

The G-Dragon Influence is Worldwide

Yes, that's right. G-Dragon is influencing artists from around the world. I know you've probably seen it and thought the same thing.

Remember this monstrosity? Of course you do.

How could you not forget this horrible thing? Proof that G Baby should always have some sort of styling product in his 'do in order to maintain that unnatural sex appeal.

With that in mind, behold Exhibit B:

These men are Lady Gaga's backup dancers in her music video "Alejandro."

Purely coincidence, maybe. But I find it humorous that GD is practically the male version of her with his outlandish style, and yet here is a bit of his style popping up in a LG video. Nice, GD.
