Hi Guys,

this is just a short personal email --recently I was selected as one of 27 winners for www.fredflare.com's 'NEXT BIG THING' design competition of 2008. They are a great online store located in Brooklyn, NY that specialize in selling cute, kitschy fun products, and the design they chose from me to sell directly through their store are a pair of earrings.

Throughout the month of June, each of the 27 winners was featured in their personal blog along with a short interview. Today marks the last day of all to be featured, and they have now opened up voting for the official 'final winner' of the 27. The grand prize is $1000 for the best designer of them all, and voting is now open to the public.

So in a nutshell, please please please VOTE FOR ME and I will love you forever!!!! You'll see a dropdown screen with all names of people featured...(select KOMODOKAT to cast your vote for me.)

Note --there is only 1 vote allowed per IP address, so if you have time, please vote at home. I'd love to win 1000 smackaroos. This would be rad! ;)

Thanks,
Jen
