Category Contests

If you’ve gone shopping for a dress lately you may have noticed something… namely, that it’s becoming increasingly difficult to buy a dress that isn’t cut up to here or down to there or requires a fancy bra or can’t be worn with any bra at all. Ahem.

So what’s a modest gal to do? Well, you might start by checking out MikaRose, your online destination for fashionable clothing that will make you feel modern and pretty without ever venturing into immodest territory. One lucky Want Not reader is going to win a $60 gift certificate to MikaRose—enough to cover one of their dresses and shipping.

Want to win it? Of course you do! First go review the contest rules and regulations, then come on back here and leave a comment on this post by 11:59 p.m. Eastern (that’s 8:59 p.m. Pacific) on Wednesday, March 3rd, 2010, telling me which dress you like best to be entered. Winner to be determined by random number generation and fashion sense. (Except that really, just the random number thing.)

Who doesn’t want a pretty new dress for Spring? No one I know. It could be you, so go ahead and enter.

Ready? Go!

I’m astounded by the number of folks who go through the trouble of entering your pretty contests, but don’t do what you ask us to do!! To think that you even go through the trouble of putting it in bold!)
