WINNING THE CONTEST
Once when I was in high school, I entered a contest to win free “glamour shots.” To my parents’ dismay, I won and went to collect my prize.
At the last minute on a whim, I took my two younger sisters with me to the local Fred Meyer. We let the photographers do our hair and makeup (even though my youngest sister was only 9) and then we looked over this pamphlet of ways you could appear in your pictures—reflections, blurred edges, smoky overlays.
We chose a giant brandy glass. Three girls, between the ages of 9-17, highly made-up, in the brandy glass.
We gave it to my dad for Father’s Day. Pretty sure that was one of his happiest moments.
A DIFFERENT CONTEST
To celebrate the release of W&T, I do NOT have anything to do with brandy glasses. I’m sorry! Instead, I’ve got a free paperback copy contest going on Goodreads. If you’re a free paperback type person, here’s the link to enter. I do love a freebie.
What’s your favorite thing you ever won in a contest?

Oh my gosh, best contest outcome I’ve ever heard! I want to see that brandy glass glamour shot.
Next time you’re in Weston, see if my parents will trot it out. I’m sure you’re shocked that it isn’t already a 20″x30″ framed photo in their living room above their piano. What I didn’t mention in the post is that Carrie and I are wearing our Junior Miss medals, and Adrienne has her Bloomfest pageant tiara. So…add that to your mental imagery, along with the big 80s hair effects.
