The 2019 Shower Gellies™

The Oscars as anyone walking on the red carpet this evening is fully aware always coincides with the Chicago Addick Shower Gellies™. Since 2006 I have been championing, but mostly lamenting hotels’ judgement in what kind of shower gel, if any, they leave for their guests in their bathrooms.

It has always been a personal source of stupefaction of how some supply enough to run five bubble baths and others offer absolutely nothing, and the quality and cost of the hotel has no bearing whatsoever.

The 2016 Shower Gellies™

For the 10th consecutive year I am proud to present my Chicago Addick Gellies™ which for maximum publicity I coincide with those lesser known 89th Academy Awards. Those shower gel aficionados amongst you will know that I bang on about this subject close to my heart on a regular basis, and no one is more surprised than me to think I’ve dragged this ridiculousness out for a decade.

Anyway while over in Hollywood there is all kinds of razzmatazz going on, here at the Chicago Add ick Theatre, we keep it short and sweet. No brouhaha, no red carpet, but there will be bubbles, lots of them, but be careful not to get it in your eyes!

Since this time last year I have put my head down in 29 different hotels, and from memory I bathed in all of them. Other than the honeymooners in the next room, what is worse than stood in the shower naked and wet and reaching out to where you’d expect the shampoo and shower gel to be and finding some sandpaper like soap or some awful smelling liquid in a container as big as a pill box?

The 2015 Shower Gellies™

I always coincide my Gellies™ with the Oscars, and unless you are either a shower gel watchdog, or have been unfortunate to have found yourself on my Blog at this time of year before then you either haven’t a clue what I’m on about, or think that I am so disillusioned by everything Charlton Athletic that I have taken to writing about the pros and cons of bodily cleaning fluids.

See, you’re getting me, aren’t you.

The 2014 Shower Gellies™

Over in Tinsel Town, the celebs are gathering for the 87th Academy Awards, which is a shame because all of the real action is here.

I don’t think my annual Chicago Addick Shower Gellies™ was on the agenda at the Woolwich Grand Theatre or the VIP Q&A this past week, which was disappointing especially as Katrien Meire had offered up one of her minions to present the awards, but for many this is all they are talking about.

There is no red carpet and no long and platitudinous speeches, but there will be awards, the much sought after Gellies™, sadly incredibly in it’s 9th year!

Since this time last year I have put my head down in 25 hotels, and I am happy to report that I showered in all of them. There are many things to get annoyed about when staying in hotels – hard beds, lumpy pillows, thin walls, the cost of WiFi, the long list of taxes and fees upon check out, paying through the nose for bottles of water and mini bar items, but the thing that gets my goat every time is the utter lack of shower gel.
