I've Won

A tad embarrassed to say - won my second laptop in almost as many weeks, with the latest one bundled with a fashion makeover - an extreme one in my case I suspect! I get to keep the clobber! I had to agree to a video shoot. My trailer and staff are still to be confirmed! ;)

@Di_D, @kaybee72, @bj74, I gather images/footage will be in the social media 'ether' shortly. There's nothing I can do, it seems, to repress that! Filming is a condition of prize allocation - thinking I maybe should have read the T&C's a bit closer...lol. I'm touching base with the promoter next week to sort out details. Needless to say, I don't want to post my pre & gentlemanly makeover post-images or vid here in this forum. Too sh*t scared...lol. The documentary experience I was recently part of was awesome but I cringed when finally viewing the footage, and now, after signing more 'artist' releases, the student doco is being entered into film festivals as we speak. It even has me playing piano. Lol. I eschew red carpet and the paparazzi! All clashes with my skin tones! ;)

It was the Pitti Uomo promo.. (sounds like a Kath & Kim scene..lol...), run by ASUS Australia and New Zealand, through their fashion ambassador, Jared Acquaro, who travelled from Melbs to Florence to cover the fashion event. Entrants had to follow his Tweets, and answer various questions relating to his posts/Tweets. Some may call it stalking...? erhmm... ;)

@Trevsta, too kind. Hey, I won a recent indie-classic album on vinyl, and the person interviewed in the RSS feed had your name...but was a Yank....??? ;)

@MammaPigga84, thanks. My current laptop is my partner's. I destroyed mine. We share this one though it struggles everytime I do an OS update. It's definitely on its last legs ... lap? This is a timely win thankfully. Cheers.
