On today's news, five women suddenly become very excited after reading fruitybeauty

Q: On a scale of one to 100 on how blown away was I by the 96 entries I got for this competition?

A: 96. (Four more fruits was all it would've taken, JUST FOUR MORE FRUITS.)

But really, I'm so thrilled, and chuffed and stoked that all of you took time to be clever and funny and enter. Thank you.

Ok. Now. Drum roll. (Or sausage roll, I don't mind.)

And the runners up-er-ers aare...

Two women in a bathroom:
(because we all know that the best compliments come from other women)

"You smell the way I always imagined an Italian love affair - exotic, sensual and highly addictive. May I have a spray?"

Smells like the sun

And oh so sweet,

Your scents so fun

We should meet.

It's intoxicating

This smell now owns me,

Don’t keep me waiting

Give me Missoni...

From a stranger: "That fragrance should be worn by you and only you." Bliss.

Your bottom looks smaller in that scent.

And the winner of the beautiful towel and fragrance combo iiiiis, (and shut up, it's not name bias, because I didn't judge the competition, Beverly did, so there)...

You passed... and I turned... for you had surely just emerged, intoxicatingly fresh, from crisp crystal waters; radiant as sunlight glinting from an aqua sea.

Now, my lucky little Missoni melons, send me an email with your address and we'll get this scent show on the road.

Wahoo, and again, to all of you, thank you.
