The Big Easy Way to Win

The Sk*rt Call for Editors Contest was Amazing! Over 400 women were nominated and we couldn't be happier about it. We are having the best time getting to know each and every nominee as we pull together our new team of editors. It's going to take us a bit of time, but while you're waiting you can find out who won the HP Photosmart Printer and Sensio Coffee Machine on the sk*rt blog. If you didn't win, it's all good. Because sk*rt is a non-stop ride of fun and there is another great contest that has just been announced today. A contest that's all about tomorrow:

Tuesday, February 5th is so many things. It’s a day to vote. It’s a day to celebrate. It’s Super Fat Tuesday! And we’re celebrating all week with The Sk*rt Super Fat Tuesday Contest. . . because Voting = The Big Easy Way to Win!

Here’s how it works. Just vote for 10 stories this week in the Up-and-coming or Popular sections at sk*rt, then leave a comment on this sk*rt post. That’s it. Then you’re registered to win. Super Easy. Fat Prizes. And one Super Phat Winner will receive:



Three new Monopoly games from Hasbro. A Disney-Pixar Monopoly edition, a Monopoly Jr.: Disney Channel edition, and a Monopoly Electronic Banking edition that includes debit cards instead of paper money.

What's all the Monopoly fuss? Well. Monopoly totally gets our obsession with voting — with making our voices heard. So they've put together a fantastic campaign. They're about to launch the first-ever WORLD Edition of Monopoly and have opened up a worldwide online vote to determine which great cities from around the globe should be on the game board. Once each day, people can vote for 10 of their favorite cities (from a ballot of 68). The voting continues through Feb. 28th and the top 20 cities with the most votes make it onto the board.



Wondering how your favorite cities are currently ranking? Visit Monopoly World Vote here, and you can see the leader board, which shows what cities would land on which colored spaces if the voting ended today. (At the moment, New York is the only US city that would make the board. . . while Canada and China are both seriously voting like crazy! Whooohoo! Maybe because they aren’t voting on Tuesday? Not sure, but there’s serious worldwide competition going on here!)



In addition to the vote-friendly Monopoly games, the winner will also receive a Mardi Gras friendly Brennan's New Orleans Cookbook! Phat is right.

So, to wrap up, here’s what you need to do this week. . .

1. Vote for 10 sk*rt stories and leave a comment on this sk*rt post before midnight EST on Friday, Feb. 8 to be registered to win the Sk*rt Super Fat Tuesday Contest.

2. GO VOTE for your favorite political candidate on Tuesday, Feb. 5, if you live in one of 24 US states or providences voting on Tuesday. So exciting!

3. Vote for your favorite city to be represented on the new Monopoly World board. Because that’s fun.

4. Eat lots of oyster gumbo, sausage jambalaya, crawfish etouffee, and anything else you can get your hands on. It’s just what you do.

5. Have a great week!

Happy Super Fat Tuesday! (And Happy Voting!) From the Super Sk*rt Krewe!
