You still have 10 days to enter (sorry, I was on vacation). </p>
<p>&#8220;Moms, by show of comments, exactly how many of you watched those new <a href="http://www.suave.com/"><font color="#e895cc">Suave</font></a> commercials and felt that someone had secretly filmed you? I know I sure did&#8230;4 kids and many days I feel desperate to just look like the person I did before bringing them into the world. I know I can&#8217;t be alone (and obviously Suave knows this too), so I&#8217;m launching a contest called &#8220;Mom: Get Glamorous!&#8221; I&#8217;m sure you can agree, if anyone needs a little Glamour in their lives, its moms!</p>
