We've always felt there was a prize-winning designer hidden within us. Okay, stop laughing. We know you've had the same hunch about yourself. So now's the time to reveal your hidden skills. Enter this contest, and dazzle us.

Bravo wants you to stretch your creative muscles and create a Bravo-inspired t-shirt design using their new drawing tool. No scissors. No thread. No experience necessary.

Just show them what the phrase "By Bravo" means to you in your original design. If you were to dress in "Bravo," what would it look like? What design would you put on a t-shirt for the ultimate Bravo superfan?

Design a T-Shirt ... And You Could Win $500

The Grand Prize Winner's Bravo-inspired design will be printed on a t-shirt and sold on Bravotv.com. Plus, the winner will receive 20 free t-shirts printed with the winning design and $500 dollars. Two lucky runners-up will win $100.

The winner will be chosen by none other than Launch My Line judges Dean and Dan Caten of DSquared2! Plus, Bravo's favorite submissions will be featured in a photo gallery on Bravotv.com. Even if you don't win, your work could be displayed for all to see.

So good luck and have fun! Who knows? The world may be wearing your look soon...

Hi! Happy New Year full of Opportunities!

I hope you are all re-acclimated to life after the holidays and are ready to move forward with all of the wonderful opportunities barreling full steam towards you in 2010!

Here are a few opportunities we've rounded up for the week, some more exciting than others. The first one is a health related focus group for 40-55 year old women, and then also a link to a website which offers FREE STUFF ALL THE TIME.

If you are a 40-55 year old woman suffering from irregularity
that you treat with an over the counter remedy, please read on.....
We are conducting a project on behalf of a major marketer of over the counter medications. For this project we will be asking participants to use our client's product (that is currently on the market) for 21 days and to video record your impressions of the product (every day for about a minute).

You can use any means available to you for the video recording, including but not limited to: ooVoo, ichat, skype, tokbox, a flipcam, your webcam and any other video recording software you might have. You just need to make sure that you can record it, save it as a file and send it to rgeltman@videochatnetwork.net, as an email attachment.

At the end of the 21 day period, we will pay each respondent $100 for having completed this project.

If you qualify and are interested in helping VCN out, please send us a brief video message ASAP, stating your age, the symptoms that you experience and the current products you use.

Thank you!

Regards,
