Glass of Girl

Welcome to The Kit-Kat Klub! I've always been a fan of bars, especially retro ones, full of kitchy tikis, cheesy lounge music, naive sexism, alliterative misspellings, women in skimpy animal costumes, and... um... girls in cocktail glasses. Yeah, weird.

And Emila! Yes, I my favorite bar has live blues and 10 pool tables. The girls in cocktail glasses are just napkin graphics. Really!; June 19, 2007 10:24 AM

You will then receive an email from this blog inviting you to post. Requests to join may take up to one week to receive an invitation. You must accept the invitation within a month or it will automatically be removed. Be sure to check your "spam" box to see if a reply was mistaken as spam. Too often invitations go unanswered. You may always make another request. NOTE: Once you join, you will be an AUTHOR of this blog and it will show up in your blog list, private or not. If your list is set to private, it still will be - you'll just have Monday Artday in it.

How It Works

Weekly Challenge - Every Monday a new challenge will be posted. That challenge ends two weeks after it begins. In other words, you have two weeks to complete each challenge - a new challenge each week and each challenge lasts 2 weeks so there are always 2 overlapping challenges. A "winner" will be chosen for the challenge of two weeks previous and posted. The winner and the new challenge will be posted by the host each Monday (hopefully).

If you win the weekly contest then you cannot win again for 4 weeks... that way everyone else has a chance.
