Yes, it's true. I'm back - and I come bearing gifts! All you have to do to win is follow me on Twitter (LOCK IN PEOPLE!!!! LET'S GOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!)
Kidding!
Nah, I run a classy joint here. And, since I've never had a giveaway, I wanted to start out with two things I have been enjoying myself for the last few weeks. I've mentioned my affinity for Erno Laszlo's classic Sea-Mud Soap (the "black soap") and lately I have the Gentle Body Exfoliator on on heavy rotation and follow with the Total Face & Body Protection SPF 30
. The nice folks at Erno Laszlo asked me what I would like to give away and I figured I should go with something that I use and really like - and I think you will too! The exfoliator is just right - not harsh, but not too mild either. I swear, I don't understand these "mild" scrubs that are basically shower gel! The Total Face & Body Protection is very moisturizing without being too greasy (especially on your face) so I'm sure I'll be carrying it around in my bag this summer to re-apply on those days when I am out all day long.
To win, answer this question in the comment section: Who is the Hollywood legend I have written about whose "bedroom and bath were awash in lipsticks, perfumes, prescription pill bottles from MGM's "Dr. Feelgood" and books by Agatha Christie, Edna Ferber, Pearl Buck and John O'Hara."
Hint: She was not an Erno Laszlo client.
The only rules are that you must be in the United States and you can only comment once by Tuesday, April 28th, 11:59PM EST. Comments don't appear until I approve them, so I will not publish them until the winner is announced on Wednesday, April, 29th.
Good Luck!
The diva - Lena Horne.
You are so funny! Diddy is certainly a mess on twitter. Great contest. I hope I win.

(Sorry if this duplicates, but when I hit the post button, it says this information can't be accepted... I'm just unsure if that's a side effect of you waiting to publish comments? Sorry to overexplain. :D)
The lovely and talented Ms. Lena Horne, of course!

Chile it was hard to find you on twitter but I'm glad I did. All of your blogs are great and I've been missing your updates.
