China Glaze Giveaway Winner!

As you all know, the lovely Lori Todd hosted quite the amazing giveaway last week while I was away for a set of China Glaze polishes. You were all totally pumped for the prize and shared your favorite shades (thanks for giving me some to add to my every growing wish list) in hopes of being named the winner.

Well, that time has come and I’m very happy to announce that Ms. Madonna Flowers has won!

Congratulations, Madonna!
Lori will be contacting you to get all your information shortly.

And thanks to all of you for participating! I will be posting another fun giveaway in the weeks to come.

SQUEEWORTHY: nail polish giveaway

While Meli is romping around Western Europe with the love of her life, some of us girls have been holding down the fort for her. Elissa got us all hot and heavy over Emile Hirsch and shared some fabulosity with us, and Anika reminded us why Nathan Fillion earned the title of Captain Hotpants before giving us her own rendition of Loveable Friday. Now that the baton has been passed to me, I don’t intend on dropping it!

I’ve got a little confession to make: Over the past 12 months, I’ve become quite addicted to nail polish. My collection began with a meager bottle of Rimmel 60 second vinyl shine in “Zeitgeist”, which I had been hauling all over the states with me since I graduated college over six years ago. (Nail polish NEVER goes bad, ladies! It’s true.) And today my collection looks like this:

BUSH Twitter Giveaway!

The always fabulous Gavin Rossdale just announced on his Twitter tonight that if he reaches 20,000 followers, he will gift one of them with a pair of VIP tickets to Epicenter Fest, where they will not only witness Bush’s first show back together since 2002, but do so from up-top the stage! So what are you waiting for? You can follow G right here! For how to enter the contest, read through the official rules on Bush’s Facebook page.

Don’t know if you guys remember, but I had a dream last month where I was asked to come onstage during Bush’s first show. Premonition? I hope so! Good luck to everyone who enters and regardless, I will see you all at Epicenter in only a couple of weeks!

Lovable Friday!

Today there is only one Lovable Friday item and that is because something absolutely magical happened yesterday afternoon. If you follow me on Twitter or Facebook, you are in the know, but for the remaining 2 people who do not, here’s the deal:

Bush is getting back together. Remember I posted about it here? Well, Epicenter Fest, the music festival hosting their first performance together since 2002, has been randomly giving away passes to the show (regular and VIP) through their own Twitter and Facebook accounts. I’ve obviously been entering, hoping to win so I can actually afford to go.

And yesterday afternoon…I won.
I flipping won.

I’m going to see Bush LIVE (in SoCal no less). I am in complete and utter shock. And since it was a pair of tickets, I invited one of my closest friends and Bush partner in crime since 1999, Bonnie. We are absolutely thrilled for the trip – I’ve always wanted to travel to see a band with girlfriends and here I am! I say girlfriends because not only am I going to share this experience with Bonnie, but also with about 19 other hardcore Bush/Gavin Rossdale fans that I have become friends with over the past year on Twitter and Facebook. We refer to ourselves as GRoupies (cute, right?) and are making the trek from all over the U.S. for this show.

All in all, it’s going to be one hell of good time.
Can life get any better? I don’t think so.
I love my life.

In the words of Jason Stackhouse:
Thank you God, Jesus, Mary Magdalene, Allah, Confusion, Buddha, Scientology, Aliens and the lion from Narnia!

GIVEAWAY: Melissa Auf Der Maur

I’m really proud to announce my first giveaway since starting Melificent a year ago!
I was contacted by the great people at Filter Magazine, one of the best indie rock publications in America, to share some great new music from one of my personal fav’s: Melissa Auf Der Maur.

Melissa+Auf+der+Maur+-+02

I had the pleasure of both seeing Melissa perform live as well as having a lengthy chat with her several years ago. She’s such a sweetheart and really cares about her fans. She also happens to be a complete rock goddess the second she takes that stage. That’s why I’m so excited for her new album, Out of Our Minds, which will be released on March 30th. The album promises to be amazing on its own, but is accompanied by a 28-minute HD film conceived by Melissa herself (which she stars in as well). There will even be limited edition comic books and matching picture disk vinyls to complete the extensive multimedia project!

Sounds cool?
Check out the music video for her first single off the album, Out of Our Minds (OOOM):

Now onto the good stuff!
This giveaway is for:

1 copy of Out of Our Minds on CD
I MadM t-shirt

Please leave your name in the comments & why you love Melissa & her music!
The contest will remain open until March 4th when I will pick the winner at random.

Thanks for playing & I hope to feature more fun giveaways in the future!
