We Want Your Bad Romance!


Harboring hilarious dating stories?  Dying to dish some dirt or reveal your most embarrassing one-on-one moment? With Valentine’s Day quickly approaching, now’s your chance.

While I typically try to shed light on the way guys think by answering any and all relationship or guy-related questions, it’s only appropriate that I offer an extra installment dedicated to personal accounts of the biggest, boldest (and most horrible) dating moments.  Beginning today, through Friday, February 5th, Chicagoans are encouraged to submit their very best dating story for the chance to win Valentine’s Day dinner for two on February 14th at none other than HUB51.

Hit me with your best encounter at askjerrod@poorlittlerichgirls.com.  What’s there to lose?  You’ll finally get that horrible, hilarious and possibly humiliating story off your chest and perhaps even win a romantic dinner with your sweetheart (or non-sweetheart) on the house, plus a guaranteed reservation for V-Day weekend.  The winner will be announced and the very best stories will be featured online on Monday, February 8th.

(Jerrod Melman)

The January Hangover: 31 Days of Giveaways

The January Hangover: 31 Days of Giveaways


December is like a Friday night in college.  You have waaaay too much to drink and end up with a killer hangover, and a resolve not to do it again next week.

January is like that hangover.

And the 15th?

Well that’s the part where you puke everywhere.

Especially when you open your credit card bill.

Are you with me so far?

Then wipe your bloodshot eyes, rinse out your mouth and for Goodness’ sake, woman, take a shower!!

Because, throughout the month of January, I will be giving away one super cool item to a lucky reader every single day!! I’m talking jeans, watches, shoes, jewelry, makeup, teeth whitening, coffee.

Even a bed!!!

But you’ll have to check in every day to enter. So send your friends a link to the blog. Set the site to your bookmarks. Or subscribe to the daily emails.

Then sit back, relax, and enjoy the Bloody Mary that is The Possessionista.

I’m here to take the edge off, and make you completely forget about what you did in December.

At least until next year.

READ THIS - All these items were donated by the company featured in the item, so, no, it’s not completely objective. Look, I’m just a girl who likes to shop, I’m not CNN. But, no, since you are wondering, I didn’t accept anything from any of these companies in exchange for the item. Oh, and it didn’t cost them anything to participate. They’ll send the stuff directly to you if you win. If you like the prize and you don’t win, don’t send me hate mail. I’ll just delete it. Or post it. Probably post it. These prizes aren’t refundable or returnable. They are regiftable, but that’s kinda tacky. By entering to win, you are willingly giving these companies your email address for future marketing.

Hey, nothing’s free in this world.

(Dana Weiss, The Possessionista)

Ok PoorLittleRichGIrls, now’s your time to win some sweet stuff, compliments of one of our favorite bloggers herself, Dana Weiss.  As she so sassily describes herself, Dana is “just a recovering possessionista, trying to use her shopping prowess for good instead of evil.”  Click here every day to see the daily giveaway and details to enter. Good luck!!

Hot This Month: July, 2010

Give back while throwing down with the Stimulus Social Club's July 7 event at Stanley's Kitchen & Tap in the West Loop. A $10 donation gets you your first drink and apps, plus all the proceeds will go to House of the Good Shepherd.
July 13 is National French Fry day, but soggy fries in a red paper carton aren't on the menu for you, PLRG! Stop by deca BAR at The Ritz-Carlton, spring for a cocktail and you'll score complimentary hand-cut french fries. Choose from truffle/duck fat fries with smoked sea salt or regular fries with lemon salt, fresh oregano and grated parmesan reggiano.
If you're celebrating Bastille Day, July 14, what better way to pay homage to our French friends than with gourmet food and wine? In Fine Spirits is serving up a four-course garden dinner and wine pairing, prepared by Chef Marianne Sundquist, for just $50. Make sure to call and RSVP by July 10.
