Come on Down- The Results

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!

About Glinda: Playing against type, Glinda lives in the West with her husband, eight year old son and year old daughter. She is in a constant state of worry that her wand is going to break at any moment.

    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.

    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.
