May Contest Image
Try your hand at coming up with a winning caption!
August’s caption contest winners
I suck at multi-tasking. Which is unfortunate because my job pretty much IS multi-tasking. In the last two days I completed the final designs for my (exciting) January line and began work on my (at least as, if not more exciting) May line. I placed the final purchase orders for new designs for January. I reviewed inventory and placed last minute orders for product we need for this year. I worked on sales projections for our 2012 budget. I started writing copy for our January catalog. And I began work on a new book (!!!). Really, I love my job! This is just my roundabout way of saying: I’m sorry, I’m sorry! I know it has been forever since I posted.
Thank goodness caption-contest-winner-day rolled around to get me back in gear.
And the winners are…
When I was a senior in high school, our yearbook faculty advisor told me that my inability to make decisions would cause problems for me throughout my entire life. I believe teachers tell kids stuff like this just to make sure we go through life saddled with plenty of self-doubt. Almost 40 year later, every time I have a difficult decision to make I think about Mr. Persky. But… I was co-editor of the yearbook along with Nancy Dusseault (thank goodness she could make decisions)… so I guess Mr. I’ve-Got-You-Pegged-Persky wasn’t so great at making decisions either.
We received so many wonderful caption submissions in February; it was tough enough just narrowing it down to these two. Nothing wrong with co-caption-contest-winners.
Teresa McIntyre wins a $100 gift certificate to our e-store for her hilarious interpretation of Marianne Steene’s languorous pose. Multi-tasking is right up there with decision-making in the bane-of-my-existence category.
And Cherith Greenwood also wins a $100 gift certificate for her spot-on use of a fabulous piece of Victoriana.
For you ladies whose mothers did not feel the need—for one reason or another—to give you this particular piece of advice, here is what Wikipedia has to say about the origin and meaning of a wonderfully suggestive phrase.
Sincere thanks to all who submitted captions! With so many excellent choices it really is hard to decide on a winner… but it sure is fun!
