I never
win anything. Lotteries, spelling bees, raffles,
monopoly:
I’m a number one loooooser. Even in contests where everybody wins a prize, I
somehow get disqualified for body checking or other rule violation.
Maybe that’s why I’m extra excited about the Ugly
Baby Clothes contest. The contest started when Carly from Durham Region
Baby posted a photo of this Panda monstrosity. Now the gates are open, and we
can all submit the frilliest, dump truck-iest, primary color-iest, Disney
princess-iest concoction we received as a shower gift and weakly said, “Oh,
how, um, sweet of you…”
There are prizes to be had, and you can even enter something
you or one of your family members wore as a child for consideration by the
judges. Enter as many times as you like, so look through your photo albums and
Goodwill giveaway bags and see what scary treasures lurk there.
But just to warn you, I am so submitting the giant lace tiered
dress with the puffy sleeves and matching bloomers I got from a coworker who
may have secretly hated my guts. Finally, I have a shot at winning the gold. C’mon people, let’s throw down!
