Life, liberty, and the pursuit of Girls’ Night

Hey, I’m not going to get all political on you, here, but there are a few inalienable rights in which I believe. And without getting into each and every one of them, I’m just going to say that as a woman, as much as I do love the menfolk (and I do, truly!), sometimes, you just need a bonding night with the girls. Am I right? (Of course I am. Don’t even try disagreeing.)

While an outing to the movie theater can be a good way to spend Girls’ Night, I actually prefer a night at someone’s house, preferably playing games and drinking wine. Maybe not even in that order. So you can, perhaps, imagine my excitement when I discovered What’s a Dame to do?, the hilarious party game where you try to guess the other players’ reactions to difficult situations. Can’t you see how an evening with your best gal pals and this game could be just what you need? Of course you can.

What’s a Dame to do? Retails for $34 plus shipping, but three lucky Want Not readers are going to win themselves this game just because they’re pretty. And if the random number generator picks them. Want to win it? Simply leave a comment on this post by 3:00 p.m. Eastern (noon Pacific) on Wednesday, September 24th, 2008. One comment per person, valid email address required, offers to buy me a nice wine will not increase your chances of winning but since when is flattery and sucking up a bad thing? Ahem. Winners to be determined by random number generation and grace under pressure.

Go!
