Starry Temptress Giveaway Winner!

Hello ladies,

The judging of the Starry Temptress Giveaway! is upon us. The winner will be determined in an epic battle of Bodhi the Rottweiler vs. a mountain goat. Who will win?

Bodhi looks on with a warrior's spirit. 

The mountain goat stands his ground. He conceals 725 hand written contest entries within.

Bodhi sizes up the situation.

And gets a leg up on the competition. 

Bodhi looks for signs of inspiration. 

And steamrolls his way to victory.

Not one to be behind the competition,

Bodhi tosses it aside. 

With one name left in the belly of the goat,

Bodhi reveals the winner! Miss Midnight Blue!

Good boy, Bodhi!

Congratulations, Miss Midnight Blue! Many of you will recognize her name from her warm comments here and on other nail and beauty blogs. She is a long time reader of painted Lady fingers. 

Many thanks to Color Club/Forsythe for sponsoring this giveaway!

A special thanks to Dave, Bodhi's companion, for his help in the proceedings. I met Dave through my friend, David. Bodhi is the rescue dog he adopted several months ago. Dave has done great work with helping Bodhi to acclimate to city life, encouraging him to be both sociable and friendly. Bodhi has become quite the ladies' man, much like his owner.

For a dose of mischief, you can see Thistle the kitten's willful avoidance of judging this giveaway.

Please stop by the You're A Goddess: Giveaway! for a chance to win the BB Couture A Touch of Greece/Ladies Collection, winner's choice of six eye shadows from Overall Beauty Minerals, an Athena owl pendant from Blendo and eye and facial serums from The Skin Society.

Happy painting, ladies!

Make It Fancy Giveaway Winner!

Hello ladies,

Today I met with a well known connoisseur of fine dining and all things fancy! She was the perfect choice to make the winner's selection for the Make It Fancy Giveaway! She offered input on every part of the process. Let us first learn a bit about her qualifications. 

My name is Tilda. A pleasure to make your acquaintance. 

My skills include bird watching. 

And meowing.

A crystal bowl containing 780 contest entries and a fine pate were presented.

My, what prompt service. 

A bit too much garnish...

But the crystal is exquisite!

And the tasting menu, superb!

Delectable!

My compliments to the chef. 

A deliciously scented wind spirited away an entry into the topiary.

Tilda finds the winner to be quite fancy indeed!

The establishment passed the white glove test and Tilda relaxes, waiting for dessert.

Congratulations to purple-princess!

Many thanks to our giveaway sponsors: Overall Beauty, chez-delaney, Ginger Kitty Designs and
Reviva Labs.

A special thanks to Laura for escorting the esteemed Miss Tilda to the cafe.

I will be judging the Starry Temptress Giveaway soon as well as posting a new giveaway in the very near future!

Happy painting, ladies!

Karmin G3 Pro Styling Iron Giveaway Winner!

Hello ladies,

The time for judging the Karmin G3 Pro Styling Iron Giveaway! is upon us! I had the good fortune to become acquainted with most the decisive of judges, Parsnip the ferret. Don't let the knowledge that he is a member of the weasel family dissuade you from his honorable nature.  He is quite the gentleman!

Ladies, I am at your beck and call. 

In the bowl, 207 entries await Parsnip's choice. 

Trader Joe's peanut butter quickens the proceedings. 

Parsnip races to a decision!

The investigative process begins. 

Parsnip is willing to get into the thick of it!

Especially when that involves a coating of peanut butter.

Parsnip puts his nose to the grindstone.

And pauses to take stock of his efforts. 

He reverts to his true nature.

Ferret roar!

The scent of victory...

Leads to the taste of victory. 

Parsnip absconds with his favorites. 

And makes a taster's choice. 

aaminah's mom is the winner!

With a belly full of peanut butter...

Parsnip rests after a job well done. 

Congratulations to aaminah's mom! She is a long time reader of painted Lady fingers! I am so happy Parsnip chose her as the winner!

A special thanks to Parsnip's human companions, Laura and Lauren. Much gratitude goes to Laura for her work as a photographic assistant and ferret stylist.

Happy painting, ladies!

Get Festive Giveaway Winner!

Hello ladies,

The time has come to determine the winner for the Get Festive Giveaway!

Here presides the honorable judge Cooper on a park bench.

He is a miniature daschund

With major authority.

In a bowl are 779 hand written contest entries mingled with biscuits.

He savors the thought of the task.

Cooper is on the job.

He is ready to stare down the obstacles before him.

Things quickly get turned around.

He shakes his head in defiance

And perseveres.

He noses around

To uncover the hidden truth.

Cooper experiences

How the taste of victory

Can be quite literal. What do you have there, Cooper?

The winner is Thifa!

Cooper is a bit topsy turvy from the proceedings.

He quickly regains his composure and is ready to resume his neighborhood watch.

Good boy, Cooper!
