Hello, darlings – it’s me again. Daphne. I’m terribly sorry to report that March is out faffing about in an undisclosed location, where she’s being forced to consume a variety of bourbons (for educational purposes, poppets). Also, I’m … well, I’m a bit shocked by this, but I saw her eat fried chicken, Maryland crab cakes and steamed, spiced shrimp for dinner. In a single meal. I did tell her that Posh er, Victoria and I will have to stage an intervention, because she’ll never fit into size 00s if she keeps on like that! Her mouth was too full of Parker House roll for me to understand her response, but I think she told me to get stuffed.
She’s now passed out on the sofa, so I’ve had to step in. Let’s have a giveaway, shall we? Try to make things right? Today we’re giving away a 1.7oz bottle of Chanel Chance Eau Tendre, absolutely free, to one lucky commenter!* Winner will be drawn using random.org. Also, and my sincerest apologies for this, but the winner must be a resident of the United States. Given recent security alerts, overseas mailing of contraband perfume from the D.C. area is a pain. Winner (Carter) has been selected and announced, contest is closed. Thanks to everyone who commented.
With any luck, March will put down the drumstick, wipe the Old Bay seasoning off her greasy fingers and pull herself together by Wednesday. We can all hope. Until then – as March would say, smell good but don’t be good. Cheers.
* The fine print — March will contact you through your email address, which you type in before you comment. If your address is incorrect, if you fail to respond within a week, or if the package gets lost in the mail — there will be no additional/alternate compensation.
What a lovely giveaway, I would la la LOVE to win! Cheers!

Ohhh, lovely! I hope March enjoyed her excesses! Do please enter me in the draw — too nifty!

Please enter me in the drawing…I love Chanel!!! And the Posse even more!
I would love to be entered in the drawing! Thanks!
That sounds like a great fulfilling meal. I can understand why she’s “Crashed out” on the sofa. Please enter me in the drawing as well.
Yum, crabcakes!!!
I would love to have dinner chez March.
May I be included in the contest? I love Chanel, and of course, crabcakes!!
March- you need to eat pickled jalepenos with your fried chicken, k?
And please enter me in the draw!
Oh,
March sounds like she’s been having a Fabulous time!
Thanks for the giveaway, I’m sure it smells divine 🙂
Classic and classy giveaway.
I dont even mind if the bottle has grease on it.:x
But what did she like the most?
Great giveaway!!!
I would love to be in the drawing, and am now very, very hungry….Oh, and I live in the U.S. but not, sadly, in Maryland.
I’d love to be entered in the drawing–thank you!
Boy, this talk about crab cakes is making me soooo hungry!
I’m a tabloid journalist, so I’d join March for those bourbons. Maybe she could advise me about what to keep in my desk?
Please enter me in the draw, thank you!
🙂 Dear Dauphine,
March is going to need some Tums after all that food. I would love a bottle of Chanel eau Tendre!
Can you blame her? I wish I could have ate that. I live Northern VA, and I love going to Maryland and when I go there I always make sure to get some crabcakes. Actually I envy her meal.

Mmmm, excuse me while I go eat some crab cakes. March had the right idea.
Fried chicken, crab cakes, parker house rolls and bourbon? Sounds heavenly!
Please enter me in the drawing!
U.S. resident, love to enter : )
Please enter me in the drawing. I read your blog daily. It’s time for me to stop lurking! And I live in the USA!
I would love to be in this drawing! And I live in the USA. 🙂
Ah, so March is off sharing her gifts with the bourbon now, is she? Fine. Single malts will languish for lack of her fickle attentions…though Irish whiskeys are now starting to prowl, thinking perhaps, when she rises from her pool of grease, she’ll make her way over to them.
pssst, Daph, come a little closer…
Darling, don’t you think there is a fragrance to be made using an Old Bay accord? Think about it…you love the rich concoctions…what is more decadent than a scent that manages to O.D. on the herbs and spices? A thick, fatty carrier…oh, the ironic stance one could take wearing such a thing…
Wait. I don’t think anything about you is ironic. Do it straight up. Goose fat. Old Bay. 100 year old port. Marrons glacee. A berry reduction. Some crab leg for March, lobster for you. All threaded with Old Bay. Perhaps with an opening of cheddar biscuit. (Those Parker House rolls have got to go, IMHO. One can be even more extreme.) I dunno…whatever you think is best.
No need to enter me in the drawing, love.
Kiss kiss.
Parker House it must *be* on the Eastern Shore! A cheddar biscuit would be the equivalent of a thin crust pizza in Chicago. Non!
Somehow, I thought it might be you. Cookie Girl.
Really? Parker House is de rigueur? But that is much too, erm, refined a puffy delight in comparison to the cheddar biscuit, no? I mean, props to the East coast and all…but surely we can expand this to wider American vistas, no? I mean, this baby has to be BIG.
But if y’all must keep this to the one coast, I see that the Vineyard has imported fudge from points interior…can you at least include the fudge?
Hey, I must be loopy about entering prize drawings– I haven’t even smelled this stuff yet, but I want to win it. Go ahead, put my name in the hat.
8-|8-|8-|eeeewww,eeeeewwww…..I want to look like the chic in the pic….yes,yes,I know all things are possible,but,we’d have to whisk 20(8-|),or so years off my body!….Please enter me in the drawing,ladies…who knows,it could be a new beginning….hmmmmm.
Now I’m craving crab cakes. I blame you!
Please enter me in the drawing! Thank you!!
Please enter me in the drawing.I live in the US.:)

March, I know where you’re comin’ from! I’ll overindulge any day!!! Please enter me in the draw – thanks.
Lol – this post and the comments have been a much needed pick me up this morning. You all never fail to amuse and educate me – Old Bay on egg salad? I Must try this!! And crab cakes!! And bourbon!! Perhaps we should try adding the bourbon to the egg salad and serving that on top of the crab cakes?? Too much?? Please enter me in the contest !
Loved the post! I have been wanting to try this fragrance.
All I read was crab cakes and I was a goner! So jealous! please enter me in the draw. Thanks.
Please enter me, too:x
I love the idea of smelling good so please enter me in the draw!
“Passed out in a pool of grease” — btdt. (Been there. Done that.)
Hmmm….an entire bottle? Of Eau Tendre, I mean. Why, yes!
This is always one of my first stops on Mondays March is always up to something. Luckily she has Daphne to step in for her, great pal that she is!
Yes, please enter me in the draw. Thanks.
Hmmm, I don’t know that I could handle all that food… The Eau Tendre I could find a good home for, however.
“As March would say, smell good but don’t be good.”
That one is going in my personal stash of quotes to live by! 🙂
(Don’t put me in the draw as I’m over the pond.)
I love a girl who can hold her dinner. Mmm, Old Bay seasoning on egg salad? Must try! Please enter me in the drawing, pretty please!
You know what’s also really good…is a little curry powder (If you like curry) …yum!!!
I drink bourbon for educational purposes too. I believe I have my PHD now.
*Drawing, please!
Dear Daphs:
I am the one person on earth, apparently, who smells divine in your perfume — other than you, of course. Please enter me in the draw!

How is the Bourbon education going?
