Another prize has been added to the best/worst dress contest to up the ante. My friend, Trinity, whose blog I mentioned in my other post, has a cousin who is quite a sewing wiz. I’m sure she found a little connection to Jane in that way. Anyway, she graciously offered to put the information about the dress collection ON HER BLOG as well as volunteered to contribute one of her super cool zippered pouches to a winner. Check out her blog to see what I’m talking about. For those that mailed dresses but not a picture, here’s your big chance. Send me a picture. Get yourself in the running for the book, Half the Sky, the Freeset wine bag, the book Sold, and Briana’s zippered pouch!
Also, I’ve re-thought how I structured the “contest” in my original post. I think it lends itself to people feeling like if they submit a photo, they’ll either be judged – best or worst. I don’t think anyone really liked being judged. Also, we all know I have a five year old. I’m learning the importance of who/what is perceived the best or not best. Not to say that we all think like five year olds, but she has a point.
For example, after the weekend when I opened the package from Danna, there was a pretty purple bridesmaid dress (worn by Danna) and an absolutely adorable flower girl dress with a pretty purple ribbon around the waist (worn by one of Danna’s daughters). I bet they looked beautiful together, but they chose to donate those dresses to Jane. I’d love to post a picture of something like that. It’s something to celebrate.
If you send a dress, with your permission, I’d like to include it in the card I send along with the dresses to Jane. I think it would be neat for her to see some of the faces of the women who are now connected to her in some way. If we can’t see everyone in person, I think we like to see each other in “photo” sometimes. BTW, I’m planning on mailing out the dressed in the last week of October. So we have some time left, but not too much time.
Anyway, the new contest rules will be as such…submit a picture, and you’re entered into the contest. I’ll put all the names of the photo entries in a hat, pick out winners randomly, and go from there. No judging. If you look smokin’ hot in your picture, God Bless You! Send in the picture and don’t be shy. Celebrate that you looked great, and now you’re passing on your beautiful dress to someone else. If you looking something less than smokin’ hot, that’s ok too. Even if you look somewhat embarrassing, trust me, we can all relate.
