Dangit! I ain’t no hollaback girl!
Dear Gwen Stefani…
Please send tickets to your next show.
Kind regards,
Tabs
I was able to see her perform with No Doubt all the way back in 1994, and I still remember the way she strutted across the stage in her blonde locks and red lips. It was pretty obvious even by then that she was going to be a HUGE star.
And she hasn’t stopped with music, either, having ventured into the fashion, accessories and fragrance businesses, too.
Remember last year’s Harajuku Lovers collection? My favorite one by far was Love — coincidentally, she’s the star of today’s celebrity fragrance giveaway. 🙂
The prize
One lucky lady will take home a bottle of Harajuku Lovers Love Fragrance (a $25 value).
Isn’t the bottle super cute!? I love (ha!) the avatar’s (where can I buy her hairdo?) oh-so-coy pose on the top.
Inside the bottle awaits a floral with notes of pink peony, pink pomelo, rose, vanilla, orchid and musk.
