SugarLoot

I just heard of the band Finger Eleven, but already I'm loving their sound. They sort of sound like Nickelback... but not sucky.

I'm not too sure what their name is in reference to, but at least they know how to have a good time.



Coming Soon!

Simple Plan decided they needed to expand their style to the avatar-world.

Why not win an awesome prize based on their decision?

I wish I were this puppy right now:




Maybe, Linda, you can get him a pillow with your PetCo gift card.

Well, our next Cutest Pet is launched. I hate to get all "Ellen" on you (in the loving animals way, you hopeless romantics.) However, I am really excited about this contest.

In addition to giving away a PetCo gift card, we will also be giving away a $50 donation to an animal charity of your choice. More info here:

Well, after scanning Joe's profile, it seems he has to be the biggest dude on SugarLoot.

Case in point: he has Motley Crue on his profile playlist:

Long hair + Eye make-up + plus Nikki Sixx having the most effeminate name in rock history = one badass dude.

His winning picture for The Dude Contest only helps in Joe's status of being THE dude.

Hats.com, which is the most clever name for a website that sells hats, has teamed up with the 'Loot to bring you our next contest:



Here are a list of hats that I would love to see solely for my enjoyment:

1.) A hot dog hat

2.) Any hat that Judah Friedlander would wear. (He's the guy with the hat... a.k.a. Frank on 30 Rock.)

3.) Rasta tam with dreadlocks

4.) Estelle Getty's rain bonnet

5.) Any hat that you think will help you win a $300 Hats.com gift certificate

Check out this awesome picture!

Gossip Girl scribe, Cecily Von Ziegesar poses with the winner, Darby, from our Be A Gossip Girl contest:

How coincidental is this?

CandyGram 25 is on its way out...

And its February 25th!

Isn't that crazy!

Well, it's not as crazy as not reading the next CandyGram. It's filled with cool articles, pics, and more!

Ashlie has two relationships going on.

Now, before you jump to conclusions, hear me out:

Ashlie has two relationships going on with the SAME person:

A romantic one...

And a platonic one.

Check out her entry that earned her the title of January's Best Best Friend.



The pair will get a pair of iPod shuffles and iTunes Gift cards. That's a lot of pairs.

Congrats, guys.

SOHO's entry is so(ho) sponge-tastic. I'm absorbed in it. (Ah- - that's MY coolest zing!)



Her pic won our first Coolest Zing contest and she didn't even need to use a caption!

Congrats.

Check out these upcoming contests.

For the people who love their kissing partners (and Natasha Bedingfield):



For the people who love their friends:



For the people who love fabric softener:

So, I am sure most of you have been wondering why Nugz has been lagging in her blog posts. When I found out we were doing a contest based on The Luxe, I went out and bought the book and I have not been able to put it down since.

Oh my God. The Luxe is sooooooo good. First off, I have a huge crush on Henry Schoonmaker and it sucks because every time I kiss my book I get black ink all over my lips. Secondly, even though she's kind of snooty, Diana is my favorite character. Who is yours?

If you haven't yet read The Luxe, you have no idea what you're missing. It includes glamorous ladies who wear gowns big enough to shelter a family of four. The characters use the same phrases as today except "LoL" is written with a quill and ink instead of being IMed. I love it.

Well, now we can all pretend we are members of the Holland family with our Luxe Best Style contest. Enter and you can win $1,000.00 to buy some amazing stuff at Sephora, Forever 21, and Steve Madden.

Part of me really wants to see The Luxe as a movie. Who do you think should play the lead roles? If you believe that Nugz should play the role of Diana then I will love you forever. If you believe Ryan Gosling should play the role of Henry then I will love you even more. Use the comments section in this blog post to discuss all things Luxe. We can be a little book club, but a cool book club... if one even exists.

All Melanie had to do was show off her pearly whites and look what she won!



Her Nano is so adorable and for some reason I believe it must taste minty.

However, you really shouldn't be licking iPods. You should just use it to listen to music, watch movies, and play games.

Now, THAT is good advice for future winners.

This is a far better use of duct tape than using it to create your prom dress just to win a scholarship to a state school.



This is Yang's self-portrait that definitely stuck with you. (I am so proud of that pun. My friends? Probably not so much.)

Her winning artistry won her a Flip Ultra video camera in our Best Self-Portrait contest.

Congrats!

I don't know if you guys saw this pic...



This is Johnny, the son of Kym, the winner of the Best Holiday Decorations Slideshow contest.

Just to clear up any confusion, Kym won the iPod Nano... not the puppy.

Hey Everybody-

Here's a special poem I wrote for you that took HOURS to write:

I hope you're all enjoying your President's Day.
CandyGram 24 is on its way.

Please don't become jealous over my literary genius.

Love,
Nugz
