Re: I won the Talbots essay contest!
I think they're going to film me for a commercial for their website. I read the fine print on the contract today, and I also won a styling session at the Talbots on Madison Avenue.
Do you think they expect me to spend my $500 gift card there?
I was hoping to spend the gift card at the Talbots outlet!

Thank you.cl15876 wrote:Congratulations! As I've always maintained... YOU ARE AMAZING!!!! Although my feeble tributes to you don't compare, if I were him all those years, your valentines gift might have been found at the following link... http://www.mondera.com/Diamond/Product. ... tno=593546 .... I could go on but won't at this time ..... ;)
I don't need any more diamonds. Trouble always seems to accompany them.

Hope you have a great time in NY, and an even better time spending your gift certificate.
I love their spring line this year, lots of great things to buy this year, unlike last year.
I agree. I love the spring line, and I loved their latest catalog with real women serving as the models, rather than size 2 toothpicks with no curves. I like seeing how the clothes look on real women!

I call him ExLax. He calls me Extinct, among other names.Lavabe wrote:And you didn't even refer to him as ExLax!
Hey... do we get a chance to poll skew?
Explaining his nickname would have wasted too many words in the essay.

I don't know when they're going to schedule the trip. It had better not be during basketball season!CameronBornAndBred wrote:Holy shitskies, that's awesome! Tell 'em you need to wait until Duke's basketball schedule is released to determine your trip date!
