What Was Your Worst Valentine’s Gift Ever?
Tuesday, February 9th, 2010
This promotion is now closed.
Tell me about your Worst Valentine’s Gift Ever in the comments area of this post. If my panel of judges picks your comment as their favorite, you will win an Aphrodite Vibrator, courtesy of MyPleasure.com, a site that sells sex toys.
About the question: When MyPleasure first approached me and offered one of their vibrators as a giveaway, my knee jerk reaction was to have you all answer the question, “Why are vibrators better than chocolate?” Over the weekend, while in Nashville, I tested this question out on my blogging sisters Andi from Misadventures with Andi and Laurie from You Must Take Your Chance. They both looked at me funny, the kind of funny that isn’t funny, you know? So then I said, “What if I asked about their worst Valentine’s gift ever?” They both clapped, looked excited, and said, “Now that’s a contest I would like to enter!” It was settled.
About the judges: I’ve become quite enamored with some of you all, so I’m worried that I will not be able to serve as an unbiased judge. That’s why I’ve asked Andi, Laurie, and Julie Roads from Writing Roads to be my judges. They are allowed to pick a winner based on any stinking criteria they come up with. I’ll probably ask a third person to serve as a judge, too, just to prevent a tie. That judge will be announced soon.
About the prize: The best Valentine’s gift I ever received was a vibrator. My husband gave it to me years ago and I still have it. Every woman should own one. In fact, I would go as far as saying this: if you are a woman who does not own a vibrator, your life is incomplete. The Aphrodite is one of the best vibrators on the market. Valued at $74.95, this little device is downright famous. It’s even been on Oprah! When MyPleasure offered it as a give away, I was sad that I could not enter my own contest.
About the rules: To enter, you must leave your comment here on this site. Do not send it to me by email and do not leave it on the Facebook feed. You’ll need to supply a working email address (you’ll see the prompt). If you fail to do that, I will not be able to notify you that you won. The contest closes at noon Friday Feb. 12. We’ll announce the winner sometime the following week. (In other words, whenever we get around to it).
You can only enter and win if you live in the US. I love all of my overseas readers (I’m sending you all big love vibes right at this moment), but it’s just too darn expensive to ship a vibrator that far. You also cannot enter this contest if you are a blood relative or married into the Bowman or Bauman families.
I look forward to hearing about your terrible Valentine’s Day gifts!
