We will never stop making fun of these silly <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/tag/girlfriend getaways">girlfriend getaway</a> hotel packages. In fact, we'd like to take this opportunity to encourage Sarah Haskins, the brilliantly funny lady behind the hilarious <a href="http://current.com/sarah-haskins/">Target Women</a> videos, to do a "Target Women" segment on hotel packages. That is, make fun of those silly girlfriend getaway packagey-things that are made up of what some hotel believes will appeal to women (gossip magazines! Manicures! Shopping!)

The Liberty Suite; your Bachelorette Party digs.

So, your BFF asked you to be a bridesmaid at her wedding and has designated you as the Official Bachelorette Party Planner (which, let's face it, is usually better than the Official Invitation Stuffer or the Official Keeper of the Dress — you're lucky she has sisters). But you're not quite sure what she wants, where she wants to go, how much booze she wants involved and how raunchy she wants things to get.
