I recently received a few Olsenboye items that I really enjoy, like my jacket that I wore in the snow here. Unfortunately, I also received two dresses that don't quite fit me...so I'm giving them away! If you haven't heard, Olsenboye is a new line of clothing designed by Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen and carried exclusively at JCPenny. They've been doing a number of very smiley videos to promote the line, like this one shot in London (where can I get that studded headband?!).
This giveaway is for two Olsenboye dresses (size small, LBDs), to enter this giveaway:

Yay for giveaways!
I love clothing giveaways so much, I just wonder what the dresses look like? Although, I don't care that much. I love dresses in general.
I've been thinking forever for something mildly entertaining to put, and all I've come up with is to just go to cracked.com and read one of their "Top 6" articles, and you'll be hooked (or you won't be.. I guess it depends on your sense of humor). Ie. the Worst Commutes article is highly entertaining.

Not very entertaining, but I found this hair band on ASOS: http://www.asos.com/Lipsy/Lipsy-Pearl-Detail-Hair-Band/Prod/pgeproduct.aspx?iid=1388757&cid=4174&sh=0&pge=0&pgesize=200&sort=-1&clr=Nude
Not sure if it's anything close to what you're looking for :)
Maybe this is creepy rather than entertaining but you were in my dream last night with some other bloggers and harry potter stars. No jokes. Freaky dream involving me interviewing people on the radio. And those videos are VERY smiley indeedy. Yeah giveaways.
I can't think of anything entertaining at the moment I'm afraid. I will however share that I just started reading Red Harvest by Dashiell Hammett and that it is so far very good, as are the rest of his novels, and I recommend them all highly.
I LOVE dresses!!!!!

Non-entertaining question: how didn't they fit you well? Run small or large?
Entertaining comment: my in-laws bought my boston terrier a sweater for Christmas with a matching knit hat. Well, I guess the picture is more entertaining than the comment, haha!

Let's see.
Do you like Haruki Murakami? He's my favorite author. I'm excited for his new book 1Q84 ('1984' in Japanese, The English 'Q' and the Japanese for number '9' sound the same!) to be translated into English in 2011. You should read a few of his books, if you haven't. Here a few suggestions: 'Blind Willow, Sleeping Woman', 'Hard-Boiled Wonderland and The End of the World"
Thanks for suggesting "Black Swan", I watched it yesterday and it's fucking awesome. The Rodarte designs are so beautiful.
I got these tights for Christmas, they're just like the DIY gradient tights you spoke about on your blog: http://angelredflame.deviantart.com/art/Pink-Gradient-191023099
Also, here is an octopus from space: http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Z5xOozjPHT0/TQ0Gw4-sfUI/AAAAAAAAAnM/eqeOn1qXDqo/s400/CCF12132010_00000%2B%25283%2529.jpg
Have a nice day.
Does the comment have to be mildly entertaining? Because... I can't come up with anything entertaining. Except this haiku about pugs.
Pugs pugs pugs pugs pugs

I was trying to think of a mildly amusing comment, and then I scrolled down and the captcha for this comment is heman. Which made me think of He-Man and She-ra. Did you play with those as a kid? My brother and I had some crazy setups since we had pretty much every toy and both castles. I also played with his Micro Machines. But he didn't like to play with my Barbies or My Little Ponies. Also I would collect baseball cards like him and read his sports-themed books even though I didn't like sports. I guess I never realized what an annoying little sister I must have been.

awe the Olsen twins. One of my good friends from college was at one point so obsessed with them that she celebrated their birthday as if it was her own. It was a very festive occasion... but very strange.
Oh boy. The song in that video was like swallowing a spoonful of sugar. While the music might not be my taste, the duds sure are. This is a very sweet giveaway. :)
more curious than entertaining... I wonder where in virginia you are from, as I just realized that's your location. I'm also from va. originally

entertaining? After a crazy blizzard in New Jersey I went to the mall, and all the stores were closed other than the deptarment stores....why? I have no idea. What's the point of keeping everything closed but dept. stores? weird.

Heyya :D I wasnt quite sure what you mean by midly entertaining, so I looked it up. I got this site which I didn't find entertaining at all:
http://www.mildlyentertaining.com/
and a whole bunch of other not-that-funny things. Something is evidently wrong with our world. But who am I to judge when I think this is funny:

hmm, something mildly entertaining...
my aunt reckons that neanderthals never completely died out and that there are surviving pockets of prehistoric humanoids in regions of europe. she also bought me a (hideous) electric pink wig for christmas and believes in all seriousness that i will wear it to dinner parties.
i don't know if that's at all entertaining or just plain weird.

I can't guarantee that you'll find this entertaining since it's sort of one of those "you had to be there" moments, but while in Austin last week visiting my boyfriend's nieces, the 6 year-old approached me with a look of extreme concern on her face. When I asked her what was wrong, she said she was "stressed out." I asked her why, and she responded with "Because Auntie Melissa, I'm worried that when I grow up, I'll lose my sense of style like mommy's friends." Yep. I asked her if she was sure we weren't related.

I don't know if this is sad or mildly entertaining, but I have one lbd and it is incredibly insufficient for any occasion. I bought it on sale thinking I could make it work, but it's too low cut, clingy and has the most awkward belt loops ever. I think I would be the happiest girl to ever win dresses.
P.S. I am following on Twitter.
A lot of the time when i make a joke i laugh a lot.
Then i realize no one else is laughing, this usually makes me laugh even more.
I would follow you on twitter, but I'm not a bird.lol.
But i actually don't have twitter.

I'm not sure if it's entertaining enough, but my boyfriend had a dream today about me and him being through a zombie apocalypse that broke out at our school...just imagine, serious professors from the Department of English and American Studies chasing us up and down the stairs, drivelling, eager to feed on our braaaains.... it just made me rofl. :-D

Happy new year!!

My mildly entertaining self is playing laser tag today. If that's not mildly entertaining, I don't know what is. It will also be interesting trying to come up with what to wear since you're supposed to blend in, but this is with a bunch of friends that I haven't seen in a while.
I could look cute and sneaky if I win a little black dress, though! hehe
keep up the amazing remixing

So you are giving away the dresses that don´t fit you! JA! How can we feel when we are a second dish for you. Or less we are the LEFTOVERS! Oh! now I´m disapointed... but still want the dresses.
So If I haven´t been mildly entertaining I hope I haven´t been unnoticed. Happy Holidays!

Beautiful clothes! I'm a little surprised that the Olsens have a new clothing line! I would love to win one!

It's pretty much amazing! :)

I don't know if you'll find it mildly entertaining or just creepy that I'm the second person who's dream you appeared in last night! I think I was visiting you, maybe as an exchange student, I'm not sure (Its all a bit of a blur!) But I was definitely in America and you were definitely there & we were just after meeting. I don't know what happened after that! (That's what I get for reading your blog before bed! ;) )
On an aside, I think that you are doing a brilliant job with your blog. Your photos get more beautiful every day. I've been reading your blog since not long after it started & its one of the few blogs I still read consistently. Thanks for the entertainment & inspiration!
what i find very entertaining right now is that your anti-spam word verification is requiring me to type "flyturd."

Today I was looking through old Christmas letters my parents wrote to their friends when I was little and I found one where they described that when someone asked me as a three year old what I was doing now that I had turned three I replied
"Well, now that I am three I clean my room and put away my clothes. It is good exercise. I lose weight"
I was amused by this.

I don't know if this might be entertaining to you, but, the last three times we have gone shopping, we have gone with the intention of getting toys, or household items and we always end up buying clothes and shoes somehow. Like tonight, we went into Goodwill to buy some xbox controllers and came out with a huge load of stuff that did not involve xbox playing at all LOL. Two dresses, two pairs of shoes, a skirt, some necklaces, a pressure pot and a guitar....that sure doesn't sound like xbox controllers at all but it was so much fun. I loove shopping, and that happens all the time! :D

My history teacher told us this story, which I found to be very entertaining, right before break.
My history teacher is at a New Year's party of one of the other history teachers at my school. The niece of the host comes up to them, and my history teacher makes conversation by asking her if she has a boyfriend.
"No way!" she replies.
"Well, why not?"
"Because boys are icky!"
"Why do you say that?"
With a straight face and a hint of disgust and that tone people use when they're telling you something obvious she says "Because they have penises."

We usually have mildly interesting and entertaining things to say on a day to day basis, at least this is my experience of things and I suppose I don't spend very much time with too many people so I guess my vision of how it goes in the wide world might be somewhat biased! However, when asked to say something entertaining, suddenly my mind goes blank... I don't think I am the only one to feel this way!

My mildly entertaining comments is going to be a random and crazy saying my grandmother used to tell me all the time..
One bright day in the middle of the night. Two dead boys came out to fight. Back to back they faced each other. Drew their swords and shot each other. A deaf policeman heard the boys and came and shot the two dead boys.
Mildly disturbing but crazy none the less!
