I was in a waiting room today and happened to pick up a Bazaar to
read, paging through it I saw an ad/promo for Godiva chocolates. There
is a Valentines day giveaway/sweepstakes where the grand prize is a
Trip for two to NYC (round trip airfare, two nights stay, yada yada
yada) and the Manolo Blahnik boutique where the winner will select up
to 52 pairs of shoes, including one custom designed pair, plus 52 lb's
of Godiva chocolate. That's right _52_ pairs of Manolo's. Fifty...two.
Total shoe ectasy, I can see them in my mind."Campari", "Carolyne",
"Balleri", "Via", "Plissepump", "Tuccio", "Hourisan"
100 first prizes will be given away consisting of a Neiman Marcus GC
for Manolo Blahniks worth $1950 and 8 lbs of Godiva chocolate.
If ever there was a sweepstakes that yearns to be won by an AFer, that
deserves to be won by an AFer, that SHOULD be won by an AFer, it's
this one. :)
Here is the URL to the Godiva page with more info and links to the

Makeup, it takes believing in. Like a magic carpet, it's belief that
makes it fly. Otherwise, it's just a rug.
If you believe in it, makeup has a magic all it's own.
Of course, makeup is only dimestore magic. But it works well enough,
when it's used properly.",

movie of the same name.
