It's time for the Man Month Giveaway!!!! Squeeeee!!!

Congratulations synj-munki!


Of course in celebration of our menfolk I'd offer up a give away. 
Come on, who do you think I am? It's a pretty simple one and the prize is pretty choice.

But a little side business and notifications first.
I've reached some more mild milestones. My etsy store has passed its 900th bookmark, and 700th sale! I'm also well on my way to having my 500th product review, yay!

I've put up more pictures of the WWI linen reproduction hat on NVL, and I've put more images in the Air Raid post, and also some links to tons of pro photographers online who were there. There are some great shots!


I'm of the mind don't give away stuff you wouldn't want yourself, so in that vein, I'm offering up this very cool 40's man's robe in its factory fold. It has a delightful shawl collar *swoon* and is a 36" chest. Robes tend to fit a bit generous, so I'm sure grading it won't be a big problem if that's what you need to do.

Entering the giveaway is simple. You don't have to follow my blog, though it would be nice :) To enter just offer up a caption to my 'just because' picture (the picture below), post your entry in this post, and the one I like the most wins the pattern! I'll ship it worldwide, so don't worry about that. I do ask only one entry per person.

I LOVE this picture! It's spectacular!
Caption it!

I'll leave it open until Friday March 25th at midnight (my time).
Go nuts with the funny, people. Let's all have a wild laugh.
Have a great week!

  5. A: "You know fellows, there's a drugstore just up the way there that sells a great skin ointment-- I sure get chafed something fierce by this wool!

    B: "You don't say, Harvey."

    C: "You know chum, you should've stuck with us and bought a rayon-cotton type swimsuit-- less chafe, same 'support' ... and they dry faster too!"

  6. "I'm serious guys! Come on, I'll show you. This top leaves the best tan lines. The side cutouts give the allusion of the perfect hourglass silhouette. You've gotta get one too. Then you won't have to hide your torsos with crossed arms and a towel."
