Free Cosmetics at Dillard’s
Posted on January 21, 2009 by Ching under News.
My friend Carly at work just told me about Dillard’s giving away free cosmetics as settlement for a 2004 class action lawsuit involving price fixing of cosmetics. You can get info about it here and see the complete list of retailers and products here, but my recommendation would be to head on over to Dillard’s before the goods run out because the freebies are only available while supplies last. From what Carly was telling me, they are already out of quite a few items.

What are YOU Doing Tomorrow Night?
Posted on January 19, 2009 by Ching under News, Things to Do.
There are several watch parties going on during the day on Tuesday. Check out the Wichita Eagle’s Inaug.Blog for a comprehensive list of goings on around town tomorrow. I, unfortunately, have to report to work. We have to pay for our plumbing work somehow.
If we don’t have a lot of post plumbing work to-dos, here are some options for tomorrow evening:
- The Showcase Lounge at 3926 E. 13th St is hosting a free inauguration party. The party, which starts at 8 pm, is open to individuals ages 18 and over. Music and food will be provided.
- Rendezvous at Rendez-vous located at 912 East Douglas. This inauguration party, hosted by Jessica Smith, begins at 6 pm.
- Several people are meeting at The Anchor, located at 1109 East Douglas, where they will watch some inauguration footage taped from earlier and some of the talking heads wrap up the day on cable. Eating, drinking, crying, clapping and general merriment are optional and left up each attendees discretion.
- The Douglas County Democratic Party will be celebrating at Abe & Jake’s Landing, 8 East 6th St (Lawrence), from 7 pm to midnight. Admission is free but attendees are encouraged to bring canned food for local food drive.
That’s just a start. I’m sure there are several private inauguration parties going on around town tomorrow evening. What are you doing? Where will you be?

Blurb “Love Bound” Book Contest
Posted on January 19, 2009 by Ching under Life, Web.
There’s still time to submit an entry to the Blurb book contest!
I had this creative proposal idea, which would make a for a great contest entry. You know how people propose through billboards or on live television or by putting the ring in the champagne glass… I was thinking it would be neat to propose to someone by creating a photobook of your life together as a couple and including pictures of all of your happiest moments and then having the words “Will you marry me?” printed on the very last page. If I were to propose to someone, that is how I would do it. It’s a shame I’m already married. =P LOL.
Anyway, if you have creative book ideas head on over to the Blurb web site. Download the BookSmart software. Create a book. Submit it. You could have $75 headed your way, if your book is selected. That’s enough to get a very nice hard cover copy (or two) of your very own creation.
