And the Winner Is...

The Bitchy Waiter Photo Contest has found its winner. After days and days of voting, one photo had more "likes" than anyone else. Congratulations to Diane H. who came up with the brilliant masterpiece you are seeing to the left of this post. Diane obviously spent hours perfecting her PhotoShop skills to manufacture this wonderful image. How many hours did she spend creating this one of a kind piece of art? We shall never know. What we do know is that she had a total of 125 "likes" and that she will win the grand fucking prize of a $25 gift card to Amazon. It's not a huge prize and when you break it down to how much time she probably spent making the image, it means she made about $2.50 an hour, just like a waitress! The most important thing is that she got lots of her friends to join the fun over at the Bitchy Waiter Facebook Page and that makes me happy. Diane, you will be contacted today.




I would also like to make mention of our second place winner, Suzie who received 96 "likes" for her image. I will be honest. I was rooting for Susie all the way because she had so many specific references to Bitchy Waiter posts. Sadly though, Suzie did not have enough friends to come over and click "like." Sorry you are a tiny bit friendless, Susie. (I joke!) As a consolation prize, I am posting your photo here so the world (okay. the 700 people who read this) can see your art!



Thank you to everyone who played along. It was fun to see that so many people put so much thought and time into these photos. Well, most of them, anyway. (I'm looking at you, Diane.) Hopefully soon there will be another contest that will let me gather more fans. The prize will most likely be one of the following:

• iPad 2
• $500 gift certificate to Zale's
• $1000 shopping spree at Wal-Mart
• three day, two night trip to Flushing, Queens
• $20 at Piperlime
• a dinner with The Bitchy Waiter at TGIFriday's

Thanks, everyone!

You Can Win A (totally lame shitty) Prize

Yes, I am still whoring out my contest on The Bitchy Waiter facebook page. We have 32 entries as of today so your chances are still good to win a (totally not) valuable prize. It will be fun and exciting and most importantly, it will give me a chance to gain followers and since I am a huge attention whore, that's what it's really about, isn't it? That's what it's really about, my good crazy people my friends. Some contests offer huge prizes like $500 a week for life or a new car or maybe a trip to Paris. But this is The Bitchy Waiter and I am one cheap-ass broke bitch so my prize is not nearly so exciting. The winner of this contest will receive an all expenses paid trip to Amazon.com (as long as the expenses don't exceed $25.00). That's right. I am offering a $25 gift card to Amazon where you can buy things Designer Whey Protein Powder used books and diapers. Whatever you want! It's $25.00 so go crazy! Here's how it will happen:

1. Upload a photo on The Bitchy Waiter Facebook Page. The photo must have the words "The Bitchy Waiter" somewhere in it. The words can be added by Photoshop, be on a t-shirt, written in ketchup, spelled out in Sweet 'n Low packets or any other way you can think of. Get creative. You can add as many photos as you like but each one will be voted on individually.
   
2. You can also email the picture here and I will post it!
3. I will then move the photos into the Bitchy Waiter Photo Contest Album for easier viewing of multiple photos.
   
4. The "likes will be tabulated by adding the votes on the wall and the votes within the photo album. Yes, there are two places to "like" and they will both be counted.
   
5. Once it is posted you must get your friends to "like" it. (This is how I get more fans, get it?)
6. Repeatedly ask your friends to "like" it because the picture with the most likes (on the wall and in the photo album) will win the (totally lame and rather disappointing) $25 gift card to Amazon. The more creative it is, the better chance that others will vote for it too, so go for it!
   
7. The contest will end on Wednesday July 27 at midnight (EST). At this time, I will go through every photo and see which one has the most "likes" to determine the winner. There is no deadline to put a photo up, but the sooner you do, the more time it will have to gain votes.
   
8. On Friday July 29, I will announce the winner. The winner will be contacted via Facebook messaging from a third party (to protect my anonymity) so I can arrange for the gift card to be sent electronically.

So there you have it. I am looking forward to seeing your photos and I imagine that I will only get about four or five entries so your chances of winning are really good. Thank you to all who waste time reading the blog, answering polls and making up captions for pictures. I appreciate it and if I could afford a better prize, I would certainly do it.

love,
The Bitchy Waiter
