SHOW ME YOUR SOCKS, SISTER!

  • Aug. 21st, 2007 at 9:25 AM

Hey you. Yeah, you with the cute toes.



Wanna win a signed copy of A Crooked Kind of Perfect, an adorable pair of toe socks, and -- get this -- a copy of Neil Diamond's Greatest Hits?
I thought you did.

I'll tell you what I'm gonna do. I'm gonna give you two chances to win. Chance number one:

Post a sock-footed photo of you (or your kid or your dog or your UPS man or anyone else adorably be-socked) on your Live Journal, Blog or Website and tell your readers that you're doing it to help me celebrate the publication of this:


Then come back here tell me in the comments that you did so. That's all it takes to be entered.


Of course, if you really want to win, you can also post an encouragement to others to show their socks on their sites. Do so, and I'll add your name to a second drawing. That's right. You'll have two chances to win Crooked, socks, and NEIL!

I'll give you until the official release day -- September 1st. Okay?

Now. SHOW ME YOUR SOCKS!

I totally cheated, b/c I don't own a pair of toe socks, but if you reeeally use your imagination, a pair of fingerless gloves worn by a five year-old on her feet COULD be a street urchin version of toe socks. You be the judge. :P

Okay, so there's no way I'm showing my actual feet on the internet (besocked or not), but I posted a pic of my REAL lucky socks. To make up for the fact that my feet aren't in them, I've composed a little poem to go with them. Oh, and to make up for the horrific poem, I'm posting a link to your contest on another forum as well. I hope that's okay!
Can't wait to get my hands on your book!!!!!

I would so do this if I didn't already have a wonderful signed copy :0) I have some Moose socks that my inlaws got me from alaska (DH got polar bears). No toe socks here, but I did get my mom a pair for Christmas and she loves them. She didn't think she would at first, but after trying them on, she wears them all the time now. I should have gotten her several pairs.

Good luck with your contest!

Sockity-sock-sock...
This isn't a contest entry, Linda, 'cause I've already got a copy right here. And I if you send me Neil Diamond, I'll just get Sweet Caroline stuck in my head (ack--too late... argh).

But we wanted to say Hi and the Kid wanted to show of her socky feet!

Also, [info]eringobrache was having trouble posting pics of her socks, so I did an honourary post for her with her photos. :) I hope that's okay.
