A Great Time Was Had by All!

I don't mind telling you, that I'm quite exhausted! But, it's a good exhaustion.


It is very exhausting jetting back and forth across the ocean for a party, with all the time changes. I don't know if I'm coming or going. OK, it was only a virtual jetting across the ocean, and a virtual party, but it was quite fun!


Carol's book, "Mini Skirts and Laughter Lines", zoomed up to #50 on Amazon's Top 50 Women's Fiction Chart. 

The Mini Skirt Competition is now over, and Yours Truly came in 2nd! Thank you to those who voted for me! Kiss! Kiss! If you care to see the Winner's Circle, click right here. I will be receiving a Clinique eyegel wrinkle remover pen, as well as a bag of make-up goodies! Happy Dance! 


I will now retire my "mini skirt", and pull it back down from under my armpits. The things I'll do for free make-up!

Come to the Party...and VOTE!!!

I've been gone for a little while, but I made sure to make it back in time for the "Party of the Century", and I'm giving you a special invite to come along.


My good friend, Carol E. Wyer, has written and released her first book, "Mini Skirts and Laughter Lines". It's a great read, however, I must warn you that by the time you finish her book, you may have more laughter lines than when you started.


But, you may be wondering where the voting comes in. Carol is also having a Mini Skirt Contest, but, you have to promise that you will vote for me before you see all the other contestants! (I'm #19.) Now, raise your right hand and swear that you will vote for me. The competition is fierce, and there are even a couple of men, which may sway your vote. Beware of the "Pink Hat" contestant! At risk is some great wrinkle erasing cream, which is much needed, since I now have more laughter lines after reading her book! 


So, now that I have your word and your vote, here is the link. Be strong, don't be swayed by a pink hat or any other contestant! #19 #19 #19 #19  Have fun at the party! #19  #19  #19  #19  #19  #19  After you VOTE FOR ME,(#19) go to the kitchen, where I'll be with other (ah-hem) celebrities. We can chat it up, and maybe drink a little bubbly. 


Please come and meet Carol. You'll be glad you did. I promise! #19 #19 #19!!!
She knows how to throw a great party! Did I mention that I'm #19 in the miniskirt competition?? See you there!

A Girl Just Wants to Have Fun...and Maybe Win Some Makeup

A few days ago, I introduced you to a wonderful lady, and dare I say, friend? blogger/author-of-a-new-book, Carol Wyer. And, I told you she's having a big party on September 16 to celebrate. (Did you check out her blog, Facing 50 with Humour, and register for the raffle? You could win a kindle!! If not, go there right now!! I mean it.) Do I sound threatening? Yeah, my kids never thought so either.

Anyway....I did not tell you that she is having a contest which involves mini-skirts. Supposedly, women over a certain age...can still wear mini-skirts. I'm not sure I agree completely with that, but, I have seen some contestants who look pretty good. The prize for this contest is some fabulous wrinkle erasing cream. Quite pricey, I believe, out of my price range.


Well, let's get right down to it. Yes, I decided, against my better judgement, to try to win some make-up.  Oh, the "lengths" I'll go for a prize!


After seeing my competition, I decided I would have to "take it up a notch". (haha get it??) Not my skirt, but the originality. I don't even own a mini-skirt, for Pete's sake. In fact, my "mini-skirt" is really a regular skirt hiked up to my armpits. 


So, I enlisted the help of my amazing daughter, and we had a photo shoot. 


Since Carol's book is entitled "Miniskirts and Laughter Lines", I decided to focus on the "Laughter Lines".  


You'll have to go here to see the photos I submitted.


I believe I'm #18. Remember that number because I believe that you will have the awesome opportunity to vote for me on September 16! I feel like I'm on American Idol jumping up and down saying "pick me! pick me!", while holding up my fingers to make an 18. (No, I don't have 18 fingers, in case you're wondering.)


What you are about to see are some of the rejected photos.


So, here are here goes nothin' on an empty stomach...drum roll...turn away now, if you have eaten recently....(and, fyi, that bottle of wine I'm using is full and corked, and not empty. Pretty frightening, huh?)

Taking a moment to check out my flowers

OK. Enough of that ridiculousness. On to an attempt at classy, inspired by Judy Garland. I thought briefly, like a nanosecond, about showing a picture of Judy Garland, but, any comparison would just be, well, there would not be a comparison.

Swanee, Swanee, how I love you...

Am I impersonating a flamingo??
I toppled over after this shot... 

and after this shot. I can't wear shoes with
that kind of heel. Are you kidding me?

Moving on to the "library"...

I can't read a thing with these glasses -
maybe because there's no lens

Hey, look what blog I'm reading!

Well, there you have it. A morning full of fun and goofiness, just for a chance to win some make up. I hope it gave you lots and lots of laughter lines.
