Contest: Win Gwendolyn and the Good Time Gang CD & DVD!
The latest album from Gwendolyn and the Good Time Gang, Get Up & Dance!, was released last week, and we've got a copy with your name on it.
Well, technically speaking, it doesn't really have your name on it. I mean, that would imply that the fix is in for this contest and that every single reader is a winner, which isn't true.
Oh, I mean, you're all winners in the very global sense of being worthwhile people. But in another, more real sense, one of you (whose name, I would re-emphasize, is not yet known to me) is a winner, and the rest of you, while not exactly losers, are non-winners. Winning-challenged. Left holding a bag devoid of winning.
But, yes, thanks to Gwendolyn herself, not only do we have a copy of the new album, we also have a copy of their live concert DVD, Live in Grandma's Living Room. We're giving this combo away to one lucky reader. (If you're not familiar with the GTG music, get yourself on over to their music page and click on any one of their three albums to listen to streaming samples. You want to enter.)
What do you need to do? Post in the comments the name of the hairdo Gwendolyn wears and your favorite person (real or fictional) who also sports a similar hairdo. I will randomly select one winner from all entries. All entries are due by 8 PM MST Tuesday, January 30. Good luck!

So many contests! So many ways to put "winning" in this, the bag I hold (okay, my bag does have 4 Ralph's World tickets in it from the Lovely Mrs. Davis, but it's hard to pass the thrill of entering another contest).
It would appear that Gwendolyn has some of the perkiest pigtails since the 1960s and 70s...like Cindy Brady, for example (only without Cindy's perfect coils of wonder).

I'm not much for contests - we have an abundance of stuff - but LORD! Do I feel affirmed. Thanks! Not a loser, but a not-enterer....

Gwendolyn has mighty pigtails. My favorite real person with pigtails has to be my daughter Jane (especially since her hair only got long enough to put into pigtails within the last month), but Gwendolyn reminds me a lot more of Blossom, the blonde PowerPuff Girl.

Hairstyle? Not my forte, but she has pigtails (is there another name -- it isn't a beehive.)
Pipi Longstocking has some great pigtails, but I think they might really be braids....

Those are pigtails and my fave ponytailer is my daughter, Gwyndolyn, who often dresses like the band Gwendolyn in the same dress and all! They are a great band and we're looking forward to seeing them this weekend!

Gwendolin has pigtails.
The first person wearing pigtails that spring to mind is Pippi Longstocking.
She is the strongest girl in the world.

Gwendolyn wears piggytails, much like my daughter Roo. Incidentally, her very favorite song in the whole world is "Farm Animal Friends" from the first GTG album. She turns three in March and I was contemplating the DVD for her birthday... if we win, maybe I can splurge and get her the Gwendolyn dress instead! We'd love to see GTG live but the likelihood of them coming to Wichita, KS is unfortunately pretty slim.

Gwendolyn has pigtails. The first person that comes to my mind is my daughter Emma who is 2 1/2 years old. She loves Gwendolyn and wants to be just like her! She has seen the concerts and tells me when she's older...she wants to sing just like Gwendolyn :)

Pigtails! Angel wings! Bunches! Gwendolyn wears them so well - and they go perfectly with the Goodtime Gang fun music. Our entire family of five loves to rock! Pippy Longstocking also has pigtails...i think even one of the Brady kids wore them. hmmm.

Gwendolyn wears pigtails as does Elly Mae from the Beverly Hillbillies! We can't wait to see Gwendolyn this weekend!

Pigtails! Or as my hairdresser mother used to call them, "puppy dog ears." (She decided pigtails were if the hair was actually braided.)
Gee, Cindy Brady wore pigtails for a while. But I like it when my 17-month-old daughter wears them MUCH better. She's my favourite pigtail-wearer!

Gwendolyn wears pigtails, and she wears them well!
My favorite other pig-tail wearer is my daughter Erin, who is totally awesome and loves to rock - just like Gwendolyn.

I would venture to say that Gwendolyn has ponytails because I'm not sure they are curly enough to be pigtails. And keeping it in the Brady clan, I will note that Marcia Brady often wore some pretty groovy ponytails in her younger days. She would be my other favorite ponytail wearer.

Gwendolyn has two high ponytails or as we call them in our house, coletas, which is Spanish for pigtails. My favorite ponytail wearer is my 4 year old daughter, Avery because she is fun and life loving just like Gwendolyn!

Double pigtails, of course! Just like princess Leah if you tried to take a piece of her cinnamon bun hair and they unravelled.

We think Gwendolyn's ponytails are the "swing-iest" ponytails we've ever seen (courtesy of Rachel, 3 yrs) and they are "just like mine and Emily's!"
Can't wait to hear the new album!

Gwendolyn wears pgigy tails. First to come to my mind is Cindy Brady, but so did that other blond Cindy from Three's Company.

Gwendolyn has adorable pigtails.
So does Ella, sometimes. (They're always adorable. But she only occasionally has them.)
