A Picture of ME and a GIVEAWAY!
To my faithful readers,
Some of you have repeatedly made comments about how I never post pictures of myself (ahem… Andrea). And, so without further ado- I present you with a picture of me.

Alright, now that we have gotten that over with- on to my actual post.
Have you ever been wearing your favorite pair of jeans and you bend over to pick something up, and whoopsie-daisy…. you show a bit more than you wanted to show. You know what I’m talking about- your underwear or the dreaded plumber look, you know- all those things that we don’t want to be showing off to the world.
Well, I have found the solution. And I will not keep it to myself.
Remember that picture of me, from earlier in the post? (Which you do not need to look back at- ever.) I am wearing a Hip-T under my regular shirt. What exactly is a Hip-T you might be wondering? It is the solution I just mentioned.
This is what a Hip-T actually looks like. It’s a fabulous idea. You pull it up over your jeans or skirt, over your hips and under your shirt. It doesn’t add that extra bulky layer that would be added by wearing an extra shirt. And no one wants an extra bulky layer across their stomach. I think it’s the perfect solution to that whoopsie-daisy no one wants to have happen.
And since I love you all so much- guess what? You have a chance to win your own Hip-T. Woot Woot! What do you have to do to win? It’s simple!
Click on over to Hip-T and then leave me a comment telling me which color Hip-T you like the best. That’s all you have to do. If you’d like an extra entry then you can blog about the contest, linking back to me, and then come back and leave a second comment with the URL of your post.
This giveaway will close on Friday, May 23rd at 11:59pm (EST).
(This giveaway is open to all shipping addresses. Woo Hoo!)
You can follow any responses to this entry through the RSS 2.0 feed. You can leave a response, or trackback from your own site.

A picture of you - wooo hooo! Though I will get to see you live and in person soon! YEAH!!
I always layer because of that ‘oops’ moment. The last thing I need to do is educate my classroom in female anatomy! So, this sounds great! Wow! White is a good choice! OR Black!
(My internet was down last night….I hate that! Here I finally get a computer to use and then my stinking internet goes down!)
May 17th, 2008 Thank You For Your Comment!
Wow, first off, can I just say your daughter Hailey looks exactly like you!! And then your hair is long. I just imagined you with short like your profile picture.
Anywho. . . I LOVE this idea of the Hip-T and I think black would be a fantastic color!! Thanks for running this contest.
I’m headed over to post about it right now and I’ll be back to let ya know
May 17th, 2008 Thank You For Your Comment!
Alright, I’ve post about it and added my url of the post
I hope I win, but even if I don’t, I’m planning on buying one of these. They look awesome! Thanks again for sharing 
May 17th, 2008 Thank You For Your Comment!
I’ve never seen a hip-T before. They don’t have it in Malaysia I think. I think it’s brilliant. I’ve always tried to wear longer t-shirts or higher pants. The ones that go way over hip. This would be good so that I can wear nice shorter t-shirts or not so high waist pants.
I would prefer it in white. Fits pink,black and any other color well. =P
May 17th, 2008 Thank You For Your Comment!
Wow~ so very cool!!
May 17th, 2008 Thank You For Your Comment!
That is a great picture of you. I’d love to have a Hip-T in white. I think it would go well with many of my shirts. Thanks for the great giveaway!
May 17th, 2008 Thank You For Your Comment!
I like the pink one
May 17th, 2008 Thank You For Your Comment!
Alright, this is funny because my thirteen year old daughter and I were swinging on the swings set before and we were both trying to pull our tee shirts over our unders. Great idea, don’t you wish you would have invented it?
May 17th, 2008 Thank You For Your Comment!
I love the black lace one. Cool idea–I\’ve never heard of them.
May 17th, 2008 Thank You For Your Comment!
Love the pink one. Thanks so much for the opportunity.

I like the charcoal gray the best! This is an answer to my prayers…I have been wanting something like this for a long time.
May 17th, 2008 Thank You For Your Comment!
Wow…what a very cool idea. I love the charcoal grey. Though black would probably be more practical..lol! Thanks for the opportunity.
May 17th, 2008 Thank You For Your Comment!
I am not entirely sure how I ended up here, ROTFLOL, but I’m glad I did.
One, because I love to enter giveaways (c’mon… pick me… you know you want to!!) (Lovin’ this btw - love the layer look it gives w/o the bulk - here in FL you don’t want the extra layer because the one layer is already 2 layers too many when it’s 90 + degrees outside!).
Two, because I am now bookmarking your blog - I love what I’ve seen so far!
(OK, back to the pick me part….
)
Oh!! Forgot to say I’d like white! Most universal I think. Thanks a bunch for offering this giveaway. Love it!!
May 17th, 2008 Thank You For Your Comment!
I love the charcoal grey! This would be great for babywearing as shirts just creep up!
May 17th, 2008 Thank You For Your Comment!
Cool blog and awesome giveaway! I like the white!

Navy…thank you.
May 17th, 2008 Thank You For Your Comment!
I’m a basic girl so i’m gonna go with white. while i was pregnant, i wore something similar to this, and it was genius. i kept them and still use them, but the bottom portion is nowhere near as cute as this!
May 17th, 2008 Thank You For Your Comment!
Love seeing you - cute picture of you! Cool idea for the jeans too!
Take care - Kellan
May 18th, 2008 Thank You For Your Comment!
What a great idea!! I need one of these too as when I was bike riding today I kept wondering if my shirt was creaping up to much.
I would pick white just because it would go with everything.
May 18th, 2008 Thank You For Your Comment!
You had me at “all shipping addresses”. Count this Canadian gal in for a Hip-T in White. Oh yeah! (btw - Jen from Tidbits of the Tippets sent me… give her another entry!)
May 18th, 2008 Thank You For Your Comment!
You are so cute my friend, thanks for sharing your picture.
May 18th, 2008 Thank You For Your Comment!

May 18th, 2008 Thank You For Your Comment!

love the olive
I like no lace
Gotta show these to my daughter … hmmm, for me, I was just wondering if they have firm and tuck power
heheheheh
May 18th, 2008 Thank You For Your Comment!
That is such a good idea. I would like a white one with lace, if I win.
May 18th, 2008 Thank You For Your Comment!
What a fabulous idea!! I’d take black
May 18th, 2008 Thank You For Your Comment!

May 18th, 2008 Thank You For Your Comment!
Hey girl! Nice to “see” you!
I LOVE that Hip-T - would love one in white if I get picked. BTW - your last comment on my blog had me rollin’.
ROFL. Coz I do the same thing.
May 18th, 2008 Thank You For Your Comment!
I need white - I know it’s boring, but BORING is also PRACTICAL a lot of the time… And I’m nothing if not practical now that I have kids! THANKS! It looks awesome. I had something similar to this when I was prego - it was called a tummy sleeve - meant to cover your tummy when your shirts just weren’t long enough anymore… It’s a FAB idea!
May 18th, 2008 Thank You For Your Comment!
My favorite is the pink lacey one!
May 18th, 2008 Thank You For Your Comment!
What a fantastic idea!
And I am glad you posted an updated picture of yourself and what a great way to model the product.
And you and your little one do look a lot alike.
Don’t put me in for the drawing because as you know I would not know where to tell you to send it.
Cool giveaway!
May 18th, 2008 Thank You For Your Comment!
I love seeing a picture of you. You are so young looking and so pretty. I see Hailey in your face so much.

Very cool website; thanks. good to be here.
May 18th, 2008 Thank You For Your Comment!

May 18th, 2008 Thank You For Your Comment!

I have one in white, but I would love another in black. They\’re fantastic!
May 18th, 2008 Thank You For Your Comment!
I definitely do not need to add bulk. Please count me in. White would be my color of choice.
May 18th, 2008 Thank You For Your Comment!
These are wonderful! I think the white (with lace of course). My love handles seem to be growing by the hour, so it would be nice to spare folks from the sight of them when my shirt creeps up.
May 18th, 2008 Thank You For Your Comment!
I love the black lace one. It comes in handy all the time, makes me feel more secure. Thanks for the great giveaway!

This is God’s gift to women! I so need a dozen of these things. I have a pair of jeans that I adore but have that umm…problem when I wear them. This would totally solve it. I’d go with basic white or black since they would match everything.
May 18th, 2008 Thank You For Your Comment!
Greetings, Nice picture! Thanks for sharing. I would love to win the basic black Hip-T with lace. Please enter me in your drawing. Many thanks,Cindi
May 19th, 2008 Thank You For Your Comment!
i like both the black and the white-classic and goes with everything!
May 19th, 2008 Thank You For Your Comment!
I like white, but black could be sassy too.
I actually tried this on my own before with a pregnancy belt thing, when I wasn’t pregnant anymore. Anything to fight the muffin top!
come over to my blog and enter some giveaways, too!
May 19th, 2008 Thank You For Your Comment!

Wow….what a fabulous idea!!! I would like one of each colour but I’ll choose the basic white.
Thanks!
May 19th, 2008 Thank You For Your Comment!
What a cool idea!! I love it! I think the cream color would be a good option (although 1 in every color would work, too!)
I’ll have to link to your giveaway on my blog-more people should know about this item AND your giveaway!
Thanks so much!

I love the concept. Basic Black is my favorite.
May 19th, 2008 Thank You For Your Comment!
Aw - you’re cute. Looks like I’m picking basic white no lace (so-practical, huh?) The hip-t is pretty cool - I may just find a way to justify some other brighter colors!
May 19th, 2008 Thank You For Your Comment!
This is a really great idea! I would go with the white…goes with everything.
May 19th, 2008 Thank You For Your Comment!

Yes, I definitely need this in white…I’m still wearing maternity clothes and my DD is 15 mos old!
May 19th, 2008 Thank You For Your Comment!
I love the basic white…It would open a whole new wardrobe hanging out in the back of my closet! Thanks for the chance to win one!

May 19th, 2008 Thank You For Your Comment!
I like the white and cream one without lace
May 19th, 2008 Thank You For Your Comment!
I like the basic in white.

May 19th, 2008 Thank You For Your Comment!
As much as I want the burnt orange one, I suppose the white one would be more practical - so let us go with that one. The white one. If I love it, I’ll buy an orange one
~Erin
May 20th, 2008 Thank You For Your Comment!
White would be wonderful please! I could really use one of these.
May 20th, 2008 Thank You For Your Comment!
I like the heather grey in the basic hip tee. The lace is pretty, but I’m not a very lacy person!
May 20th, 2008 Thank You For Your Comment!
I love the one in cream. Thanks!
May 20th, 2008 Thank You For Your Comment!

May 20th, 2008 Thank You For Your Comment!
Oh my gosh why didn’t I think of that! So cool. If I don’t win I am totally going to save some of my old shirts with decorative edges to do this with.
May 20th, 2008 Thank You For Your Comment!
I like the black with lace! Pretty.
May 20th, 2008 Thank You For Your Comment!
Black is best
May 20th, 2008 Thank You For Your Comment!
I’d choose the white lace, since it would match most of my shirts.
May 20th, 2008 Thank You For Your Comment!
Great product!!! My favorite is the white with lace.
May 20th, 2008 Thank You For Your Comment!
Thanks for sharing a photo of yourself. You have such a warm smile!
I keep seeing Hip-T’s all over the web and I think it’s such a wonderful concept - especially important for mommies who do a lot of picking up and bending over!
If I won, I think I’d go for the basic white or black.
May 20th, 2008 Thank You For Your Comment!
I also listed this contest on my Tuesday Tours column today: http://metropolitanmama.net/2008/05/tuesday-tours-whats-happening-on-the-web-26/.
P.S. I really like your tag line - “Where the days are long, but the years are short!” LOL. SOOO true!
May 20th, 2008 Thank You For Your Comment!
Hi, I like the gray Hip-T. I think it would go with a lot of different colors. Thanks for the chance to win one.
Kathy
May 20th, 2008 Thank You For Your Comment!
This is PERFECT for mommies who have just had a baby - Hid not only crack but that little bit of “skin” that just doesn’t want to go away! I was just commenting to a friend last week about how I can’t find shirts long enough since I have had Jack! Thanks for the info - Would love to win one!
May 20th, 2008 Thank You For Your Comment!
Like someone else said, I dig the burnt orange, but would probably start with white and then get more if I like it! Nothing like being practical, eh?
May 20th, 2008 Thank You For Your Comment!
I need like five of these. With being Mommy, breastfeeding, having old shirts that don’t seem as long as they used to, etc, these are wonderful. If I won I’d probably go with the basic white, but I also love the lacy ones. How do you decide??? Thanks! Erica, gumbi1313 at msn dot com
May 20th, 2008 Thank You For Your Comment!
White with Lace for me please
May 20th, 2008 Thank You For Your Comment!
I like the brown or burnt orange or olive. I can’t decide!! But I have the perfect jeans for one of these!!
May 20th, 2008 Thank You For Your Comment!
I love the black. This is some thing I need big time!!
May 20th, 2008 Thank You For Your Comment!

BLACK LACE
May 21st, 2008 Thank You For Your Comment!
I like the white with lace!
May 21st, 2008 Thank You For Your Comment!
It’s great that the Hip-T covers crack,but I also like the illusion of layering with out really having to. It is to hot here in AZ to put on two or more tops in the summer.
I think I would go with the pink lace.
May 21st, 2008 Thank You For Your Comment!
What a brilliant idea! White with lace would be great…or black with lace.
May 21st, 2008 Thank You For Your Comment!
I love these hip tees, they’re a great idea. I’d go with the white, just because it would match most of my stuff! Thanks.
May 21st, 2008 Thank You For Your Comment!
White please. what an awesome idea. I wish I had thought of it.
May 21st, 2008 Thank You For Your Comment!
Pink lace or the white one you have pictured! I’m Preggo so this would be great to add to my shirts that I can still wear but need a bit of extending, if you know what I mean!
Great contest! Your on my bloggy sidebar!
May 21st, 2008 Thank You For Your Comment!
white. it matches everything. i need this my underwear showes out of my pants all the time. i hate the attention it brings
May 21st, 2008 Thank You For Your Comment!
I’ve been eying these up for awhile now. I’d love to win one. Call me original but my favorite is either white or black. Thanks for the chance!

Wow I finally saw you!
Hip T is a wonderful idea. I hate those ooops moment too. I think I’d like to have a black if i win.Black always matches with everything;) And would maybe make me look slimmer.
