MEGA EXCITING CLOSET CONFIDENTIAL GIVEAWAY BONANZA

Alright people, this is it: the mega huge major super-awesome Closet Confidential giveaway bonanza I've been hinting at for a few months.

First and foremost, I want to thank you times infinity for welcoming Closet Confidential with such enthusiasm. Thank you for coming to the launch party and hosting giveaways and sending emails and posting reviews and driving for three hours to track down a copy. You guys rock, and I want you to know that your kind words and heroic efforts have helped make my 2009 an unforgettable year. Thank you.

Now let's get down to business! I'm giving away five signed copies of my book, but there are a few other prizes up for grabs that might interest you as well.

The Grand Prize winner of the Mega Exciting Giveaway Bonanza will receive...

A Butter by Nadia Signature Wrap Dress!

My favorite Portland boutique, Mabel & Zora (seriously, P-towners, check them out if you haven't yet!), were kind enough to provide one of the famous Butter by Nadia signature wrap dresses for a lucky Daddy Likey reader! This comfy and flattering dress can be worn something like 4,000 different ways and retails for $246.

So yeah, at the risk of sounding melodramatic, this dress is a religious miracle. It can be worn as a short-sleeve dress, a regular wrap dress, or with a halter top, strapless, or backless. It can be a shirt or a skirt or a tree fort or whatever else you can dream up. The particular version we're giving away is a gorgeous orange color, soft jersey fabric, and fits sizes 2-16. I'm thinking of entering my own contest under a pseudonym (What do you think of "Minona"?) just for a chance to win this.

And a signed copy of Closet Confidential:

Not only will I sign it and dedicate it to whomever you like, I'm also happy to include a personalized haiku/limerick/piece of erotic fiction on request!

And a gorgeous guppy necklace from Objects Found:

I've declared my love and affection for Objects Found before, and I think this necklace is especially striking: those trademark layered chains and perfectly detailed guppy pendant? Perfect!

And a sassy watch from Normal Watches:

This watch captures my feelings perfectly.

And a cookie:

Hopefully not with a bite out of it, but hey, who am I to play God?

First Runner-Up will receive...

A signed copy of my book:


And a majestic white unicorn necklace from Cupcakes and Mace:


Listen, I can't make any guarantees, but I can say that this awesome unicorn necklace will magically improve your life, guaranteed.

And a sweet journal from Love You Big:

This handmade map journal from Love You Big is perfect for writing about your glamorous travels, your dream vacations, and/or international incidents you've caused (hey, it happens!).

And a sassy watch from Normal Watches:

Yep, this is my life.

And a cookie:


Second Runner-Up will receive...

A signed copy of my book:

Remember: haiku or erotica included.

And a hydrangea headband from Bella Fiore:

Whenever I see this thing, all I can do is slobber "pretty pretty pretty!" Because isn't it pretty?

And a sassy watch from Normal Watches:

"Rebellion is essential." As is punctuality.

And a cookie:


Third Runner-Up will receive...

A signed copy of my book:


And a Spice World DVD:


The most underrated film of our generation: a gift from me to you! (Yes, I'm serious.)

And a cookie:


Fourth Runner-Up will receive...

A signed copy of my book:


And a personal consultation with the Five Men:

You get to email me a question. Any question. And I will record the Five Men's answers and send them to you. The photo above is my dad. He is ready to give you an answer, especially if your question concerns predatory seabirds.

And a cookie:



So, what do you have to do for your chance to win? It's simple: just leave a comment on this post.

If you'd like to earn extra entries, tweet about this contest, write a blog post about it, and/or link to it on Facebook--just leave separate comments here letting me know.

Another way to get a bonus entry? Email me a picture of you posing with your copy of Closet Confidential, like the beautiful Annie Spandex here:

Send me your best shot at daddylikeyblog@gmail.com

This giveaway is open to everyone around the world. I will choose the winners at random on December 31st. Best of luck to you, my lovelies!

p.s. A huge thank you to the companies and artists who made this giveaway possible!
