Awesomely Luvvie is FOUR YEARS OLD!!!

*takes swig of Bailey’s*
*Sheneneh hip twurk*

Four years ago, I abandoned my Xanga blog to move to Blogspot. On August 8, 2006, I wrote the first post on “Luvvie’s Queendom” (LAME NAME!). That blog became “Luvvie’s Random Rants” and then evolved to the Chateau de Ratchetness that is now “Awesomely Luvvie.” 1 blogging platform move (Blogger to WordPress), 1 URL change, 4 years, 370 posts and thousands of comments later, here we are. Although I barely blogged the first 2 years. in fact, only 25 out of those 370 posts were before August 2008. So I was clearly playing bald-headed games those first 2 years!

Now that Awesomely Luvvie is now in Pre-Kindergarten, it has opinions and chooses its own outfits. It has a favorite Dr. Seuss book (“Cat in the Hat”) that it likes to read at night. And a favorite starburst color (the pink one). These four years have been the most rewarding of my life, and I have my blog to thank for a good amount of it.

And I must thank my readers too. Everyone who has read my writing, commented, retweeted it, forwarded it, emailed me with kind words. EVERYONE! You really do make blogging a blast and a half. To thank you folks, I’m having giveaways all week! 4 giveaways (1 for each year of my blog). I’m about to get my LuvPrah on. So this is the week to make sure you’ve subscribed. My giveaways are usually pretty time-sensitive so folks miss out on stuff. This is my alert though. EVERY day, is a different giveaway.

With that being said, the first one is one I’ve been holding on to for a while. I’m giving y’all 4 days to get this done though. And it is…

THE WALL SLIDE SPOTLIGHT!!!

*crowd goes wild*
*crowd stops and says “Wait WHAT?”

Well, as you all know. I’m overdramatic. And this is obvious in my love of *WALL SLIDING*. What is the *wall slide*? I can show you better than I can tell you. And I did.

A *wall slide* is what you do when things get frustrating, overwhelming or just too stressful for you. So naturally, I *WALL SLIDE* at everything, from the loss of an earring to my favorite TV show being cancelled (Bye “Scrubs” ).

So, I’d like my readers to create a video of THEIR version of the *wall slide*. You’ve seen me slide down the wall. Now it’s your turn! The rules are simple, and here they are:

* Create a video of you doing the *WALL SLIDE*. Either the front or the back version.

* The video needs to mention AwesomelyLuvvie.com (either verbally or in a caption).

* It needs to be uploaded somewhere online that is publicly accessible (like YouTube or Vimeo. For those who don’t have an account with either, you can upload the video on TinyPic.com I believe, without an account).

* It needs to be uploaded by 11:59pm on Thursday, August 26, 2010.

* After you upload it, email me the link (Luvvieblog at gmail dot com) of where the video is at and include your name and email address.

The winner of this contest wins a *WALL SLIDE* t-shirt from my Spreadshirt Shop in their size as well as public acclaim for their foolishness. I can create a guy’s *wall slide* tee too, so fellas, don’t feel left out. You can ALSO bust out your best slide.

So get to it, folks! Who’s entering? I hope more than 1 person.

P.S. Also, wishing AFROBELLA.com a HAPPY 4th birthday!!! That dope eCrib turned 4 on August 14th. LEO BLOGS STAND UP!

Another Laptop Lollapalooza

Luvvie — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 16:55:00 +0000

Hey y’all! I got an email from a firm that represents HP computer, asking me if I wanted to do a laptop giveaway for my blog readers. Of course, I said “Yes! Put me on so I can put them on!” Well, I didn’t use those words. I actually exercised some couth, but I said “Yes.”

LuvPrah is IN THE BUILDING! “You get a laptop! And YOU get a laptop!”

So here’s my 2nd laptop lollapalooza. The first was in August.

I got a picture of the brand new HP Pavilion dm3 laptop and it’s cool features. It’s part of HP’s new thin and light line. Comes with:

Segzy, ain’t it? Ow Owwww!

*10 hours of battery life
*Super mobile, at just 1” thin and uber sleek
*Windows 7, featuring snazzy stuff like snap, pin, shake, and peak
*HomeGroup to make sharing music, pictures, videos, and document on home networks easy
*Premium Sound and speakers you can connect to your HD TV

The company that represents HP will be shipping the laptop directly to the winner, so it will be coming from them.

Contest:

Write a hilarious and foolery-filled 100-word story using my favorite phrases. This story must include proper use of:

iRebuke
Dereon Hell
Creole Magic
Hairhats
Onesies
*WALL SLIDE*
“FOOL SADDOWN” Gift basket
Ghost of Coon Present

*reads* Hmm… seems I’m having folks write about Beyawnce (but not really. It ain’t bout her. Just seems to be that she has been the muse for a lot of my roast). Iunno how I feel about that. But anyway, have at it. It’s like an IG version of Ad-libs.

Your 100-word story should be left in my comments section under this post. If for some reason, yours happens to be too long (character-wise, because you used 100 big words), leave half here and email me the rest to Luvvieblog (at) gmail (dot) com. The story doesn’t have to be 100 words. If you can get all’adat into a tale without using all 100, then goodie. But it also can’t exceed 100 words (use MS Word to do word count, ya dig). You can even turn in more than one story. Each one will be judged separately. Some one y’all’s cups runneth over with IG so I know this won’t be hard.

You have until tomorrow (Saturday) at noon (CST) to have left your story as a comment under this post. The story that makes me cackle the most, will earn the laptop. If y’all need clarification on these rules, leave a comment and I shall respond.

Some folks are still mad at me for not winning the first giveaway in August, but who’da thunk y’all knew me so well? Shoot… Y’all are gonna be even MORE upset at this one because it’s subjective. I actually will be picking the winner purely based on my opinion, and how much they make me cackle. Well, I will get the help of some of my blogger fam (the ones that don’t enter).I will announce the winner on Monday morning. If I have to, I will do a round 2, but by Tuesday, there WILL be a winner of a laptop.

P.S. Also, although one of my readers is getting a laptop, I can also possibly get one if I’m the blog with most posts, comments and tweets about this giveaway. So tweet about this and all’adat good stuff. Y’all make me a winner! Because the better I do, the more giveaways I could have. PUT ME ON!!!

P.P.S. I will be having a *WALL SLIDE* contest in a couple of weeks, so those that are ready to show off their best dramatical (yes, dramatical) slides… don’t fret. It sho’ll is coming.

P.P.P.S. Look below & read the final post from Guest Blogger’s Week: Sarah Palin wears bumpits. Show Thembi some love!

Edit: I’ve only received THREE entries to this giveaway. Y’all don’t want a comp for the free??? I know you do because the last one I had, 60 folks entered. And it went on for 3 rounds. #YouKnowYouWantIt

Edit 2: Laptop contest submission is OVER! Y’all DID want it afterall. You’re just procrastinators. 25 folks have entered. I shall read them all. Check back on Monday for an announcement.
