Good Bad Funny Photo Contest Winner Announced!

Like my last home-made nut-butter giveaway, I decided that I needed to come up with a ‘different’ way to pick the winner and make a video to document the momentous occasion. And as you all know, a relatively good hair day is necessary to make a video. This is the reason it took nearly a month to get this posted. Well, that and the fact that we’ve been running away from tsunamis and drug cartels while eating ice cream south of the border. (Note: don’t try running away from drug cartels while eating ice cream because there’s nothing more heart-wrenching than spilling perfectly good ice cream).

Here is a brief summary of the winner-picking process...

Step 1: Print out Bad Photos:

Step 2: Separate Bad Photos:

Step 3: Label Bad Photos:

Step 4: Fold Photos into fourths:

Step 5: Coif hair. Channel your inner Farrah (you can feel free to laugh. Aloud, if necessary.)

My weapon of choice from Zero to Farrah in 4.5 minutes

Step 6: Put photos in Vita Mix and set to Variable Speed on level 1

Hey look! It’s my BFF-frenemy twin-separated-at-birth Allie from Pimp My Protein Shake!

Step 7: Close eyes and pick the winner: Who is it? Scroll to the bottom to find out!

Here’s the video...

Upon further review it would appear that I was not having a such good hair day, sigh.

So the winner of the nut butter contest is!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Tah Dah!!!

TAMZIN of Salad and Sequins!

(PS. She’s still adorable even if she thinks that this is her “bad” photo!)

Yay TAM! I’ll get those nut butters out to you in the next millennium or so- not to worry! Kidding!

Thanks to all of my lovely contestants for taking the time and energy to join in the fun. I’ll be posting all of their photos for the guffawing pleasure of the entire blogosphere. That will likely happen in April as GUEST POSTS.

So if anyone else would like to have their Good, Bad and Funny photos splashed all over the internet, this is an open call to do so. . Leave me a comment and I’ll contact you. What’s in it for you? Nothing but some fun being a guest poster and a healthy dose of linkage love from my blog to yours. PS. NO NEED to be a blogger to join in! I had a few awesome regular readers send in their photos. Which somehow implies that bloggers are “irregular”.

My next post will be a final look at Guadalajara from a HEALTH perspective. ‘Twas interesting in my opinion. Hasta luego!

Q: Did you ever do anything “special” with bad photos back in the day when photos were something you could hold in your hand? Do you coif? (I rarely do, truth be known!)

Edited to add: Janetha Bean brilliantly pointed out from Merriam-Webster…that coif is a scull-cap or something about a sergeant. That is the noun.

Here, I’ve used it in the form of a verb. That would be something to do with Foofing of one’s HAIR. Thanks Janetha for helping clarify the topic of Foofed ‘Do’s. I would hate to start any coiffic confusion! Behold the verb, coif:

Main Entry: 2coif

Pronunciation: \ˈkȯif, ˈkwäf\

Function: transitive verb

Inflected Form(s): coiffed or coifed; coif·fing or coif·ing

Date: 15th century

1 : to cover or dress with or as if with a coif
2 : to arrange (hair) by brushing, combing, or curling

Heee-larious. I cannot believe you put us in the Vita!

You are too funny!

Janetha said...

i will first get this out into the open: i blew it. sorry about that. i had good intentions to send you photos but that is all it was.. good intentions. sorry.

moving on to this post and your hilarious musings. didn't someone once say your posts lacked personality or something like that? clearly they are mistaken based on that good hair day comment alone.

okay, so i am reading along and commenting as i read, i am actually on my work comp! coulda done a vid.

BWAHAHAHAHA YOU PUT THE PHOTOS IN YOUR VITA AHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!

oh you DID do a vid! ah i love your videos. is it creepy that your voice is music to my ears?? yeah.. probably.. who cares. i like you.

oh. you called me out on my slackage. fair enough.

im not going to lie. i had to google coif. this is what i got: "1 : a close-fitting cap: as a : a hoodlike cap worn under a veil by nuns b : a protective usually metal skullcap formerly worn under a hood of mail c : a white cap formerly worn by English lawyers and especially by serjeants-at-law; also : the order or rank of a serjeant-at-law"

um. so my answer is no i guess? i am still in the dark about this coif thing...

and when there was a bad hard-copy photo.. i usually would rip it to bits. truth be told. now days the delete button as i am scrolling through my friend's cameras seems to work just fine. ;)

(i dont really do that! although i would like to...)

LOVE YOU DEB

Janetha said...

your vita is quiet.

Elisabeth @ joggerslife.com said...

Oh, I was totally waiting for some photo choppage in the vita. Glad you only put it on 1.

I have the exact same hot air brush, and I luhhhhhhhhhhve it to pieces. I am completely non ambidextrous, so to use both a brush AND a hairdryer at the same time is like rocket science to me.

Janetha said...

ahahah.. thanks for the clarification! i can rest easy!

tam said...

OH MY GOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you so much I'm it total shock! I'm actually getting to try your nut butters YAY!!!
You are to kind lovely lady nut butter heaven here I come! x x x x

tam said...

P.S I love your hair you look hot! ha ha x

Susan said...

Yay Tam!!!! I heart her, she's a verrrry deserving winner :D International shipping = welcome to my life :P

I just realized I can still send you my write-up, yay! Disregard my tweet.

Also, your hair is gawjuss, and I dig your California accent. I really thought the vitamix was going to pulverize those pictures...

Jenn said...

You're a nut Deb!!! I love it!!! That is so funny you put them in the Vitamix!

And the part about running away from drug cartels spilling ice cream....ha ha!!!

TiredGirl said...

Just about peed my pants. You are hilarious Deb!

Charlotte said...

Wow - that is quite the selection process! It makes my random number generator look downright dowdy. Gotta get more creative. I dunno about the vitamix though, lol!

Lara (Thinspired) said...

BAHAHA! I feel like an idiot--I thought we were COMPETING for you to pick us based on our photos!

Ok, and the photo of the photos in the blender was funny enough...I did not think you would actually BLEND them! I'm surprised the Vita didn't shred them all up!

YOUR HAIR LOOKS GREAT!! Oops--didn't intend to do caps lock, but I think I'll leave it for added emphasis.

Heather McD (Heather Eats Almond Butter) said...

Loved hearing your voice Deb, and I think it's hilarious you mixed all the entries up in the Vita. Perfect!

Feel free to do as you wish with my photos. I'm quite proud of that crotch shot. ;)

Becky @ flybynyght said...

Love, love, love the picture picking process!

...looking for an oh so 'beautiful' picture no... :)

Deb (Smoothie Girl Eats Too) said...

Becky- Sorry but the rules are one (or more) of each: Good, Bad AND funny! Maybe one day I'll do a glam-only contest :-)

Susan- funny re. the California accent. I remember after your last vid, you said "apparently I have an accent :-/ ) - It always cracked me up!!

Heabie- your crotch shots IS one of the best. :-D

legalstyle said...

I don't know how I feel about being vita-mixed.... a little nauseous.


I loved seeing your video! That's the first time I'd seen you on video, so it was nice to put a voice to a face. :)

ajoyinclass said...

Congrats to Tam!! I can't believe you were brave enough to put those pics in the vita....def thought you were gonna end up with a photosmoothie....
Is it weird/creepy that your voice sounds EXACTLY how I heard it in my mind's ear? Loved the video; it cracked me up.
And your hair is fab, dahling. I only WISH my super-straight hair would hold such fab-ness.

Averie (LoveVeggiesAndYoga) said...

The Vita...wow girl, I guess paper is nothing compared to some of the stuff i grind in there!

Congrats to Tam, she's a doll!

We are moving fwd with plans as discussed. Bittersweet but the goal is worth it. :)
xoxo

Allie (Protein Girl) said...

But did you drink the photo shreds? Fiber and low calorie! The Great Weight Watchers Pulp Smoothie.

Okay, everyone's photos are hilarious. We are all winners. Or losers, depending on if you're a glass half-empty kind of person.

Important note: the 1st time I read this post I was scrolling and looked at your photo holding the um, battery operated object, and was confused...until I scrolled slightly further and read that it was a BLOW DRYER. Oh!

Bekah said...

Ahhh you make me giggle Deb. Great post.. you are so inventive with your blogging ways. And no joke, ou really do remind me of Farrah Fawcetta little bit! :) It helps you're from LA.

And yeah.. agreed, I can't believe you put us in the vita! Love seeing my mom's name on this.

What a cute contest. I had the worst luck this week. I got too busy to read blogs and missed like a million giveaways. Oh well, seeing this totally kind of made up for it.
