***THIS CONTEST IS NOW CLOSED***
We’re giving you even more opportunities to win a new luxury toy from the Insignia line by Lelo in our Sex Toy Haiku Contest!
New Deadline: we’re extending the deadline until next end of the day Wednesday, the end of November, for those of you who need a little more time to get the creative juices flowing.
New Rules: we’re still giving away a $179 Oden couples ring with SenseMotion technology to the winner of a random drawing from all who Tweet their sex toy haikus with the hashtag #EmAndLoHaikuContest, BUT for those of you who’d like to enter but don’t want all your Twitter followers to see your sex-related mini poetry (hi Mom!) we’re now allowing you to enter more discreetly by either sending yours in via our contact form OR posting them into the comments section below to win an extra prize!
New Prize: this extra prize — a $139 Lyla egg-like massager from Lelo’s Insignia line — will be awarded to the author of the best written sex toy haiku. So that means you can enter as many times as you’d like — whether via Tweet, contact form, or comments — until you think you’ve got it right!
So let’s review the details:
FOR EITHER PRIZE:
- Deadline is end of day Wednesday, November 29th, 2011.
- For ease of reading, separate each haiku line with a slash.
- Remember to follow the 5/7/5 syllable format.
- You must be 18 or over to enter.
- Winners who do not claim their prize by responding to the private email from Em & Lo within 7 days forfeit their prize, at which time another random drawing will be made and/or another best haiku chosen.
FOR THE RANDOM DRAWING:
- Tweet a sex-toy themed haiku (feel free to make your haiku as obvious or as vague as you wish)
- The Tweet must contain the hashtag #EmAndLoHaikuContest
- The Tweet must also contain the following link back to this post: http://tinyurl.com/8y5z68z (Twitter will probably automatically truncate it even further)
- Here’s an example of how your Tweet should be formatted: #EmAndLoHaikuContest You are beautiful/And you never break my heart/Who needs a boyfriend? http://tinyurl.com/8y5z68z
- Tweet as many times as you like for the random drawing or the best haiku contest, but understand that your name will only be added once for the random drawing to win the Oden.
- As of Tuesday, November 22nd, your odds are very, very good that you will win!
FOR THE “BEST HAIKU” CONTEST:
- Enter as many haikus as you like (but please don’t write 25 crap haikus as this will not increase your chances of winning either contest).
- You can either Tweet them OR send them to us via our contact form (choose “contest entry” from the pulldown menu) OR post them in the comments below.
- If you opt to send them in or post them below, make sure you include a viable email address (which we will keep private) so we can contact you in case you win.
- “Best Haiku” winner will be chosen based on the quality of their haiku-writing skills as judged by Em & Lo.
Happy Haiku-ing!
***THIS CONTEST IS NOW CLOSED***
Eyes closed, I’m pickin’ up
Good, good, good, good vibrations —
This ain’t the Beach Boys.
Sleek, chic and handy/ No emotional baggage/ The perfect lover
Although it was fun/we have long been together/new toy is better
Pleasure cut short, WhyRelief, battery in handI continue on
Em and Lo write books/That took me from awkward girl/To hot sex goddess.
there is no guy here/only me and my plastic/oh how fantastic
Even without light/you make me see all of me/free of guilt and shame
Lost you in the move
I found pleasure in my hands
But I still miss you
Orgasm control / My partner holds the remote / And I must say please
When ever they say/that us women love plastic/this is what they mean
The TV remote/from now on will always be/without batteries
my little blue friend:
Makes me smile while the kids nap.
(yes, I named him BOB.)
building excitement
my lover’s hands may guide you
a battery dies
With you in my hand
We can go until I’m spent
Size Doesnt Matter
