I didn't win it!

If you feel the need to make personal and or negative comments towards me, you may want to read this first.

*Update -3/10/08 -
Just wanted to let you all know I did not win the MAC. They ended up choosing an eligible contestant by random because too many people were cheating on the votes! It's a dumb way to have a contest anyway! I hate that voting junk.

Anyhoo, thanks a bunch to all of you who took the time out to vote and keep up with this! It is much, much appreciated!

MAC is having a contest right now for one of their lines called "originals". If you win you will receive over $1,500 in free product.... and I NEED that product! :p

Unfortunately it is one of those contests where you have to go around begging and harassing people for votes, which I absolutely DESPISE, but it is MAC and Lord knows that makeup would end up in good (and grateful) hands!

I've already got a handicap considering this contest started at the beginning of the month, ends at the end of the month and it took them more than a week to approve my submission. There are other people that have already been collecting votes the entire month. So please, please, please take a couple of minutes to vote for me?!!? You do have to set up an account to prevent multiple votes, but it's quick and painless!

You are able to vote once PER DAY! I think as a reminder I will delete and upload a different photo every day until the contest is over which will include all the voting info.
Here is the link to vote:

Thanks for taking a minute to do this, I REALLY appreciate it!

To anyone who would like to forward this along to help me get some more votes, I'd greatly appreciate it! I have the link on my profile: www.myspace.com/melaniumom

Thanks a bunch :)



Thanks again to all of you who have been so kind and supportive :)

Hi :) I saw your blog about dreads on myspace and I was wondering.. Is it possible to have the parting of the hair on the side when you have dreadlocks? I can't find any pictures of people that have it on the side, they all have it in the centre.. : / Also.. Is it more difficult to get nice dreads with thinner hair? and last.. Is it difficult to keep the dreads clean? like to really clean them, because you can't reallly get the shampoo inside them, can you? : )

Your son is adorable by the way! :D

lol... once I saw the previews for that I told my husband, "You see, dreads are all the rage! I'm always one step ahead of the trends.... a trendsetter, if you will!" LOL

I kid, I kid.
