Come on Down- The Results
By Glinda
Because the ever-gracious Annalucia asked so nicely, I will now pronounce the winner of our little guessing game.
It was called “cute, in a blingy sort of way” and “wow, is that bad.”
And that was the positive stuff.
With almost palpable contempt, it was called a “fugly little garment of doom,” “hideous,” and my favorite, “this looks like something a berserk mime would wear.”
Can you tell that it was a big hit?
And what would you say you would pay for the privilege of buying such a garment? A garment with such scorn heaped upon it?
My friends, you would pay a grand total of $119.95. Yes, in US dollars. Amazing, isn’t it? Go ahead and click on the picture if you don’t believe me.
Raincoaster guessed pretty darn close with $125.oo, but the rules state that you must not go over, so by a measly five bucks, she is out. You get the consolation prize of, well, nothing. Sorry!
So with that, the winner of the contest is LauraH with a guess of $89.00. LauraH, you now retain bragging rights. For whatever they are worth, anyway. Which isn’t much really, but let us all give her a collective standing internet ovation!

One-hundred-and-nineteen of the American dollars. The Annalucia, she is speechless.

Out of the game for a measly five bucks overage! Life is SO not fair.

Ye gods and little purple fishes! A hundred and twenty smackers for that???? For a kid who’s going to (thankfully) outgrow it in about a week???
The Annalucia isn’t the only one who’s speechless!

I feel somewhat bad that raincoaster was closer than I, but I suppose I’ll get over it. I’m over to Burbank to sign up for the Price is Right.

[...] I wouldn’t dream of bouncing someone out of competition in a contest of mine just because they made me lose a contest because they mindlessly adhered to stupid rules, stupid, stupid rules. Stupid [...]

Annalucia- Are you over the shock yet?
Rain- You CAN’T ever go over on The Price is Right. It is a cardinal rule. If I don’t follow it, the world as we know it will cease to exist.
Twistie- That’s the hard thing about paying a lot for kid’s clothes, they grow out of them so quickly.
LauraH- Yay! I think you should totally get over it.

NOT BITTER. NOPE, nooo, so over that. Happy, happy. Whatever.

Yes, the Annalucia is over the shock — somewhat. She will only add that this is the rare child’s garment which would actually be improved by the spilling of the grape juice thereon.
