<content:encoded>I'm a huge Polaroid fan.&#160; Always have been.&#160; In fact, my motto used to be, "I never do a party without Polaroid."&#160; Hence why I miss my Polaroid INSTANT camera so much! <br >
<br >
I have this fantasy though that we can bring it back.&#160; Yes, I said we - you, me and all my other fabulous readers and viewers out there in cyberspace.&#160; Do you think if we started a letter writing campaign it would make a difference?<br >
<br >
<em>&#160;&#160;&#160; "Dear Polaroid-<br >
&#160;&#160;&#160; As a party thrower allow me to express my sincere and deep depression over the loss of your INSTANT camera products.&#160; Don't get me wrong; I like the digital age just as much as the next girl, but it's just not the same.&#160; So can you please bring back the Polaroid One-Step, the JoyCam or the Izone with sticker film?&#160; I know you must think me old school, Polaroid, but really I'm not that antiquated.&#160; I have embraced the technological age with open iArms; I just want to be able to give my party guests instant gratification again.&#160; I want to be able to hand them a fabu picture of themselves in an adorable theme-related frame, and be dubbed the best party of the year! Is that too much to ask?&#160; Signed,&#160; Your Biggest Fan"<em><br >
<br >
Of course my fantasy continues with the following response from Polaroid:<br >
<em><br >
&#160;&#160;&#160; "Dear Biggest Fan-<br >
&#160;&#160;&#160; We at Polaroid understand what a party-thrower-extraordinaire like you needs to dazzle your guests in this technological age.&#160; That's why we created the PoGo INSTANT Digital Camera.&#160; It's a camera and printer all in one!&#160; Each pack of film contains paper for 30 sticky-backed prints, so you can just snap, print and share images without connecting to a computer.&#160; So go ahead, take that killer group photo, view it, crop it, add a border and print out as many copies as you want to hand out in your party-terrific frames.&#160; How's that for improved instant gratification?&#160; Oh yea, and did we mention that we're taking preorders on the Polaroid 300?&#160; That's a product you might be familiar with...it's an updated version of our Classic Instant Camera and Film.&#160; Oh yes, you heard me correctly - Instant!&#160; We thought you'd be happy to know about that. Signed,&#160; YOUR Biggest Fans at Polaroid<br >
&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160; P.S.&#160; We've seen your party plans online and we think you're pretty terrific yourself.&#160; In fact, we've been looking for the perfect expert party planner to bring Polaroid back to its once glorious heyday.&#160; We think you're that girl!&#160; Can we sponsor you?"<em><br >
<br >
What?&#160; Fantasies do come true you know!&#160; And in the meantime I'm lending a hand at www.savepolaroid.com, apparently we can do a lot more these days than just write letters. <br >
<br >
Ah, technology. You gotta love it!<br >
