Nonetheless, I've been in the business of winning things for most of my life. I usually shoot for things I know I can win. Like a compliment from a homeless person. Or a 'drawing' that turns out to be a 'sign-up'. A win's a win.
When I was 11, I entered my name into a box for free glamour shots 23 times (the number of times time would allow it took for my mom to finish her grocery shopping.) I was 11 and this was before I knew pre-pubescent photo documentation was a bad idea. So I 'won' a free glamour shot, along with all the other gals who signed up*.
I still pine to win things and enter into every blog give away I can get my paws on. It hasn't been working so I'm doing a little karma experiment. I'm giving away a 5x7 photo of this: my glamour shot of 11-year-old winner Maggie.
(Don't worry it's not the original. That still remains in a drawer locked away for my husband's work desk as the only photo I will ever allow him to show his friends/co-workers of me. If that doesn't work out, Dad, it's all yours). All you have to do is leave a comment with your email address, or email me directly at maggieafranz@gmail.com. I'll draw the winner in a week. Or two. Or however many it takes for a member of the Wright family to enter. Or Bradshaw family. Or Franz family (I won't hold my breath).
You can only enter once... Wes... Rachel... everyone...
*I'd like to think that my mom 'won' Mother of the Year when she dropped me off at the Holiday Inn with my best friend, Carmen, two overweight waitresses and a photographer in a room with no beds and a box of feathered boas.

I'm signing up but will be giving mine to Wes. He will have more fun with it than I!!
I maintain think you looked like Candace Cameron Bure (http://www.candacecameronbure.net/#) from full house.
Thats one.
I think that would go great in your sisters new house next year. I gotta have it! Kmcbride
Shouldn't every niece have an aunt like this to look up to...literally. It will go on the underside of Brennan's bed so Zoe can view from her bottom bunk dwelling.
I personally think I deserve this pic for being thrown under the bus in the facebook world by people believing this was me for a good month
I would like to sign up Maggie. I am almost a Wright =) Thanks SVA
I heard that Wes has the first official copy on his desk at his new job. Lovers.
this picture was when i knew i loved you.
so i suppose it should go to me.
just sayin.
I'm coming over this week so you can give it to me. Cool?
Cool.
Mary---people ask so many questions about the glamour shot in the cubicle.
Gee, I hope I am not too late. I need that picture. I want that picture. I love you Maggie.
Maggie, I'm a waitress with a college degree. This picture is all I have!! If you give it to me I'll give you back that summer you spent alone, with me.
