My sincerest apologies for not posting the winners on September 6, as I said I would. A family emergency pushed things back a couple of days, thank you so much for your patience.

First I would like to thank the wonderful, generous folks at Stila Cosmetics, without whom, none of these giveaways would have been possible. I was thrilled when they contacted me, and it makes me happy to give away such fabulous products to our readers. Glinda adores spreading beauty and super fantastic-ness!

I would also like to thank everyone who took the time to pen a haiku and enter the contest. With over 80 entries, all were so creative and fun to read. I have always maintained that the readers of Teeny Manolo are some of the most intelligent women on the internet, and this contest proved it.

So after much deliberation between Raincoaster, the Manolo, and myself, we finally have our winners!

Our Runner-Up is Pepper, who wrote this amusing gem:

Tears make raccoon eyes
Lipstick smears on his collar
I curse cheap makeup.

And finally, our Grand Prize goes out to Eileen with this evocative haiku:

When I was little
I rouged my face with chapstick
and hoped for beauty.

Congratulations!


Monday Teeny Poll

Last week, 43% of you said it was inappropriate to ask if Sarah Palin being the mother of a special needs infant was relevant to her ability to be a Vice Presidential candidate.

Fair enough.

The next highest vote total was 18% not being sure that she could juggle the needs of her family and the country and do them both well.

That leads me to this week’s poll. What I want to know is how you feel about stay-at-home moms versus working moms. “Versus” not being used as a combative term, I assure you.


Celebrity Dad Faceoff

Ewan McGregor is on a tear. I’m going to have to throw the big guns at him.

The big guns I have been waiting for practically since the beginning of Celebrity Dad Faceoff, with those long ago first contestants of Jack Black and Will Ferrell. Remember them?

This particular matchup is really hard for me, as I really like both of them. And as for now, I’ll be keeping my vote secret.

Although I’m going to exercise my editorial discretion by taking my Johnny Depp with short hair and no beard. Ahhhh, yes…
