woo-hoo! a beso.com giveaway!

I typically don’t run giveaways anymore, but I’m feeling the post-Christmas consumerist rush and couldn’t help myself. Can you blame a gal for wanting to continue spoiling herself a wee bit longer? Certainly not.

Luckily, the kind folk at Beso.com were happy to lend a hand to Design For Mankind readers that didn’t get everything on their wish list (I know, I know). To the tune of $150. Yep, that’s right! A mini shopping spree!

Here’s how to win:
-Sign up for a free account at Beso.com (it will come in handy later; trust me — this is a killer shopping destination!).
-Leave a comment below with your new or existing Beso username (and maybe say hi to me, or tell a joke. Or a cute story. I love stories.)

I’ll choose the winner at random and will email you if you’re the lucky duck! You have 48 hours… ready, set, GO!

Update: This giveaway is now closed. Congrats, Laura!

   Oh, wow. This site looks very dangerous. Especially because I’m easily distracted. And cute things, especially, distract me.

   Thanks for the giveaway! My nickname is “allthingsjane.”

   My nickname is “kirstybleyl” and I have a little story… (not the best story, but it’s what first comes to my mind) My sister was pulled over for speeding the other day and her son (4 years old) who was in the car with her said “Mom! Are you going to go to jail?”

    My username is Monster Cakes (like my blog). And here’s your mini story…

    Once upon a time my husband starting calling me monster. Monster cakes when he’s cross. When I birthed my fashion blog, I decided to name it monster cakes. Monster Cakes and I love shopping and looking at pretty things, so we really need this give away. The end.

    Can I tell a dirty joke…?

    I’m gonna anywayz.

    A chicken and an egg were lying in bed. The chicken was smoking a cigarette and wearing a satisfied grin. The egg was frowning and looking frustrated. The egg turned to the chicken and said, “Well, I guess we answered THAT question.”

    You love it.

    With lots of photos,
    and juxtipoz,
    Me and you now have a place to inspire in.

    Didn’t make to much sense… But I tried! :)
