Cameo.Com

I know three people now that as a gift got a cameo from famous person through Cameo.Com. Two people got them from Broadway performer and the other one got it from sports person. I was allowed to see all three and without a doubt the Broadway persons did a much better job and made effort to make this very enjoyable for the person receiving it. The one sports person was very bland and quick, IMO you could tell it was all about making a quick buck.

Wait...you're saying that theatrical people were more "theatrical" in their presentations? Stop the presses!!

P.S. NO one does Cameos just for funsies -- it's all about making a few bucks.

Actually, some people take the money and state it is going to a particular charity. My wife got one from my nephew from one of her favorite Broadway actors. This person wished her a Happy Birthday, thanked her for being a fan of Broadway, sang to her part of her favorite song from the show he was in and since it was last April thanked her for being on the front lines of COVID since she is a nurse. The sports one I saw basically wished the person a Happy Birthday and was done in about 30 seconds. BTW - Broadway cameo my wife got was lot cheaper than the sports guy.

"I’m obsessed with Cameo. I give them as gifts to everyone, now"

That is great !!

Probably because most Broadway actors aren't actually very famous in the grand scheme of things.

And as far as cameo is concerned, Broadway actors surely have more time on their hands right now than TV/film actors, especially because they probably aren't getting as many Cameo requests anyway.

" I got two as a gift from my mom for my birthday this monday(I turned 22, yay!) Jewelle Blackman, one of the fates from Hadestown, and Michael James Scott. Both really great videos. I was happy! "

Happy Birthday !! Glad you loved your videos, very nice Mom you have to get you two of them -lol. I got one for my youngest daughter's 30th birthday and it arrived yesterday and was excellent. I will send it to her today after she gets home from work.

I’ve bought two people Cameos, one from Nikki Blonksy and one from Kim Woodbury (UK personality) and I think they were definitely worth the money. Gave me a good chuckle.

"It seems like the more they cost, the worse they are. Lindsay Lohan was doing them for like $500 and the samples were literally 15 seconds. She said hi. People lower on the celebrity food chain seem more grateful, humble and flattered. They try to make it special."

Yep, Broadway ones seem to be in the $25-$75 dollar range. The one my wife received was almost 3 minutes long and the one I got for my daughter was just about 2 minutes.

"Cameos are cool but they feel a little weird. Paying to feed a celebrity lines to tell a friend. However, a buck is a buck."

IMO it is harmless fun and I have not heard of anyone not enjoying getting one and like you said a buck is a buck.

One of my closest friends got me a cameo for my birthday from John Cameron Mitchell (my fav!) and I loved it. He changed the lyrics to Wig in a Box to be anti-Trump. It was fun. He recommended a couple shows. He talked about his dying mom, which seemed odd in a birthday message. It definitely had a melancholic tone, but everything’s been awful in 2020, so I get it. I’ve never looked to see what she spent, because I don’t want to think about it. I’m never comfortable when people spend money on me. I know some of the money went to charity, so that makes me happy.

"It really depends on the athlete. There are some old-timer NBA players that seem pretty psyched that people still remember them."

That is good to hear, might look into doing one for my brother his next birthday if the price is reasonable.

A few good ones:

- Muggsy Bogues (the famous 5'3" NBA player)

- George "Iceman" Gervin

- Michael Cooper (part of the famous Showtime era of the Lakers)

- Elgin Baylor

But again, these are all old-timers.

^Yeah, that Egan one was a pretty awesome Cameo.
