Dress Down for Friday’s Christmas Party. BYOB. Here’s What Goodies Santa Has in Store.

I love you guys. You are amazing. Thanks to you reading, listening, guffawing and commenting on my raving lunacy, Beyond Black & White gets 13,000+ monthly visits with 6,000+ unique visitors in just six short months!

Who the CUSS ARE YOU PEOPLE???

This kind of loyalty reminds me of that verse from The Good Book that says something like, “Blessed are the people who eff-off all day reading BB&W for they shall inherit cool stuff AT LEAST once a year.” Forget what chapter and verse that was from…meh; maybe I just imagined it.

So….because the blog is SO popular, and through my VAST network of public relations contacts, I have for you SOME of the prizes you’ll win during BB&W’s Twelve Hours of Christmas, in which I will ask you ridiculous trivia questions once an hour (9AM-9PM PST) and whoever correctly answers the question in the Comments FIRST gets the gift. IN FACT, I have so much stuff to give away that I’m able to give second prizes to the bandwidth-challenged, so don’t say I don’t have compassion for people with disabilities, umkay?

Here’s a sneak peak at the stuff, not in any particular order:

Yes, that IS a pink beach crusier, WITH and basket stuffed with CLICK.

And thanks to the folks at Speakal.com, you can have your pig and groove with it too. (Make sure you go to the site. Winner gets to choose which style and color.)

Three free months...all the books you can read.

And for those of you who like to read, I have negotiated with Book Swim (think Netflix for books) for a FREE three months. (Some of you are CRAZY with this reading thing, too. Someone on the BB&W fan page has read 70 books. This year.) Read as little or a much as you like, send the tomes back in a prepaid envelope they provide, then rinse and repeat.

For those of you who are ABSOLUTELY HAIR OBESSED, Bigen, a gentle hair color product made especially for women of color, going to feed your crack-like addiction.
