In Which Miss Jill Is a Capitalist Sell-Out and Does A Giveaway Involving An Underage Model

Good morning everyone! My friend and I were talking last night about how we could enrich people’s lives by encouraging them to read my blog (a humanitarian service project, if you will). We noticed that mediocre, but popular blogs have one major thing in common-giveaways. After I saw a post about someone eating pancakes receive 300 comments, I knew that it was worth a try. I discuss this with you in the spirit of glasnost.* Here are the details:

How to Enter:

Become a public follower of my blog (look to the left of this where it says "follow"). I know that I write weird stuff, so I do not request that you leave comments.

Selection of the Winner:

In the spirit of a television game show, the 19-year-old model will don a skimpy outfit and choose a name out of a bowl.


The Prize Package Includes:


1. $20 Barnes and Noble Gift card
2. Autographed Photo of the 19-year-old model (NYOM)
3. Turkish Treat
4. Personalized drawing in which all of your dreams come true. Explanation of my magical powers can be found here. These are subject to my discretion-if you are 100 lbs overweight, I am not drawing you with a six-packed hottie (unless you are a Mormon man, because that isn’t totally unrealistic)
5. I Heart New York pencil
6. Autographed copy of the popular youtube Thanksgiving video, Turkey Killer. Click here to watch it. The demented Pilgrim at the start is a beloved sister in the Relief Society.


Ends:

THURSDAY


IF YOU ARE ALREADY A FOLLOWER, YOU ARE ENTERED. FEEL FREE TO CHEAT AND ENTER YOUR SPOUSE, SAHMs.

  4. I told Brandon I was glad I hadn't "followed" your blog already (I was going to add you last week but kept forgetting) so I could enter you contest. But if you're going to open it up to all followers... I should at least get extra points for being your 100th follower.

  5. Sure 100th follower is worth a few separate entries. I'm on it.

  6. This is false advertising, your model is NOT underage.

  8. Hey, I should get extra entries for being an early adopter and among the first of the followers. I'll go sign Alex up to follow right away.

  9. If I tried this whole giveaway thing, I would probably get three entries. One from my wife, one from my mom, and one from my dad (but only after my mom does it for him).

    The silver lining? Mailing the prize would be a snap, and I'd have a 33.33333 percent chance to directly benefit from the winnings.
