SWIMSUIT GIVEAWAY!!!

The Swimsuit Goddess (AKA Modbe Clothing consultant Janae) is mindful of our suffering. She heard our wails of despair and has very generously stepped forward to save us from ourselves...and the unflattering and ill-fitting tankini/swimdress that is on layaway at T.J. Maxx.

GIVEAWAY TIME!
One lucky winner will win a swimsuit of her choosing from Modbe's wholesomely sexy line of swimwear!!!

banded bottom= no muffin top (always a good thing)


If there is one bad thing about Modbe swimsuits, it is that they don't multitask.

Contest starts NOW and ends THIS FRIDAY, April 3 at 12pm EST. To enter, simply leave a comment. For a second entry, link to this contest on your blog. The winner will be chosen at random and announced super soon after the contest ends.

Good Luck!

If you want to sponsor a future Mean Mom giveaway, contact me here.

  16. I am so against muffin tops! Too bad after 5 kids that I have one. Cross your fingers for me. (For winning the swim suit and getting rid of my muffin top K?)

    ReplyDelete

  21. What a terrible opportunity. An old, stretched out thong is a much better option with which to display my post-childbirth body. It ensures preferred seating at the public pool with plenty of empty seats around me.

    ReplyDelete
  22. Wow--I really hope that your random chooser chooses Heather. Cuz she deserves a good suit. But enter me anyway! (Although no giveaway can ever really compare with the sweater hanging in my closet...)

    ReplyDelete

  34. this is the best thing anyone could ever do for a mommy that wants to look hot without the suffering!!!!! Last year I got the request from my dh "don't get something "too mommy-ish" then when I found something we both could live with - he told my I needed to tan b/c I was whiter than casper. Lots of love in that department!!!!

    Thanks = Sarah

    ReplyDelete
  39. I can always use better swimsuit options. Even here where it is sunny year round options are limited.

    ReplyDelete
  40. I'm like Heather, 5' 10" and a long torso. I've never bought a swimsuit without trying it on because it's so hard to find one that fits nicely. But these suits look great! I might have to order one if I don't win.

    ReplyDelete
  41. Alright! I thought I had no chance of a new suit this year but things are looking up!

    ReplyDelete
  42. I need it! BTW, love your blog, thanks for keepin' it real.

  99. I so need a new suit. I have a love/hate relationship with swimsuits. Love the pool love the beach, hate the suit. I would love to find one I could feel good about.

    ReplyDelete
  100. When I saw the title of your post, I gasped and said I would never enter a giveaway for a swimsuit as I had too many experiences with just me, a swimsuit and a 3 way mirror. Ughhh! But then the words "no Muffin top" jumped off the page and I shouted I'm in! Please count me in!:)

    ReplyDelete
  101. Love their cute swimsuits! And since I don't live in Utah, NO ONE else will have one!

    ReplyDelete
  102. Win or lose, this mommy is going to have to have a new suit this year! I have lost 30+ lbs. since Thanksgiving! It's a nice change. I think I can mainly attribute it to stress and chasing my 3 little munchkins...nah, j/k...I'm training for a triathlon, so that helps! I hope I win...I need something to perk me up for this summer! Love your blog! It keeps me in stitches!

    ReplyDelete
  103. My current suit is an industrial affair. I'd love to have something that's actually CUTE.

    ReplyDelete
  104. Look, I know I'm a guy, but since I'm married to a pretty woman who has to fight the battle to find a decent swimsuit, I think I ought to be allowed an entry. Maybe two entries for having to try to hold my wife together and convince her that whatever she's found is good enough for public use, so lets take the kids swimming before they melt from the heat.

    ReplyDelete
  105. These are cute swimsuits!! Please pick me...

    ReplyDelete
  124. Just found you recently - even though my 'kids' are grown up with kids of their own, I can relate! And I am stumped as to why one can't wear a bathing suit/bikini of one's choice, but then I grew up in Europe, where even wearing one may be optional.

    ReplyDelete
