Weekend Event, August 24-26: Road Trip!!! Post multiple ads for your ideal road trip in your post! example: type of vehicle, where you would go, where you'd stay, where you'd eat, etc!!!
September Contest Theme: Kittehs!!!! (I'll post start date later)
FEEDBACK REQUESTED PLEASE: I have asked about a couple of these before, but i'd like additional feedback and a couple of these are 'new' suggestions which i'd like feedback on....before implementing new things i always think it's best to ask y'all for feedback because YOU make this community and everyone's opinions and participation is valued! that's also how we get most of our ideas too!! :)
1. For October 31, Ads in Disguise. ONE DAY ONLY where we would allow fake ads to be posted. Fakes that you have made, fakes ads that you have found. I know we do not allow fake ads; but like I said, one day only. A member brilliantly suggested calling it 'ads in disguise' and having it on halloween!
2. Ads where you can order items---we would look up the addresses/phone #s and see what is there now, etc---'Where are they now' was suggested as a name for it, perfect!...the poster would NOT have to do the legwork if they did not want too, they could post an ad for an item for sale during the period we do this (i think this would be a weekend event) and commenters could look up the info....this came about from the 'time to fuck' watch ad, the phone # was looked up....i also know on some prior ads we have looked up addresses....with google maps we can even get street views and it is sometimes really fascinating to see what is at a location now....some people even live in the cities where the businesses were and have stated a willingness to go take pictures (of course they wouldn't have too, but that would be awesome!).....
3. ICONS from ads....we have some icon makers in our group....many make icons from ads that are posted.....what if we allowed one day a week an 'amnesty' day where a poster could post a post w/o an ad but with just icons from ads (ONLY icons from vintage ads)??? like say on thursday would be 'icon amnesty day'....thoughts?? suggestions???
4. Bacon was suggested as a contest theme...would this be better as a weekend theme though??
5. Of course any other ideas, suggestions are always welcome!! :) If you don't want to post them in the comments, you can message me here on LJ (I believe messaging is working okay), or email me misstiaemail@yahoo.com please put 'v. ads' in the subject!!
and i've created 2 new tags: event calendar and upcoming events! hope that helps find upcoming events! :)
ETA: Story days will still be ongoing thru labor day....next time, Thursday thru Saturday of next week!

A repost, but keeping with theme. That might be Claudia Schiffer.

We don't have a swimwear tag?
