Ladies. You know you want it. Gentlemen. you know your ladies want it. Here's how you can get it, for free.
We started a Manly Vintage Facebook group like, a few weeks ago, invited a handful of people we know and right now only have 52 followers. What the heck! I mean, I'm fresh outta ideas readers... Though I do have an attic full of stuff I'll never get around to selling, so how about give some away?! Is it desperate? Of course. We're used to being desperate.
Welcome to Manly Vintage's first ever desperate-attempt-to-get-Facebook-followers blog giveaway. That's right folks, this is real life.
Here are the rules.
1) If not already a follower on Bookface, follow, AND leave a friendly comment on our wall.
2) If you already follow, leave a extra friendly comment on our wall.
THIS IS IMPORTANT!! You must leave a comment. We will gather the names off the wall to pick the winners. Did I say winners?
The name will be picked randomly, multiple comments does not mean multiple entries.Contest closes Friday 8pm CST. LET THE GREAT EXPERIMENT BEGIN!!

Morgan and I just returned from selling our wares at the Vintage Heaven sale. We had a blast, and met a lot of really great people. We decided to give out our first ever set of awards. (trust me there will be more fun, watch out Vintage World).
And now the winners!
Four Eyes
David was stunning in his "fake" retro glasses. He works in the advertising industry and says its almost a "cliche" that he watches Mad Men.
Creepiest Mustache
When we saw Matthew, we knew he was the winner. I was just a little afraid that he would try to punch me when I offered him the trophy. He was a good sport, but borderline offended. I meant nothing but love, brother, nothing but love. He came back and gave me his card. "Chicago Mustache League". These guys are hardcore about their facial hair (as it should be). Truly epic mustache and epic pose.
Random Bored Guy
Shopping is a funny thing. As a guy, I don't mind shopping for stuff that interests me. Put me in a video game store, Home Depot, or a Thrift Store and I can handle myself. Put me in a room full of mostly girl's clothing and I tend to get all nervous and twitchy. I become the "random bored guy." Emiliano was doing well, but sitting very bored waiting for his wife to finish shopping. He was sitting there on the couch with that depressed look on his face and I knew that he needed a major award to cheer him up.
Hey, Nice Shirt!
Most epic shirt ever. Completely inappropriate and yet hilarious. Cornelius was awesome when he won the award, screaming, and laughing.
Best Tattoo
We saw A LOT of tattoos at the Vintage Heaven sale. Lots of cool and elaborate designs. But Mike won this award because his tattoo is simple, yet awesome. Eagles are awesome. America is awesome. An American flag being carried aloft by a flying eagle is just so damn subtle and brilliant, we love it.
Please check out some of Mike's other stuff at Six Pack Vintage. Awesome stuff. Tattoo done by MCC Designed
