I am personally obsessed with winning an Anne Taintor monthly caption contest before I die. Seriously, I just started a bucket list, and this is the only thing on it so far. I have two caption entries into Ms. Greensleeves, above. However, even though I want to win-win-win, I decided not to hoard — so I’m sharing the contest with you, too. If you want to enter Anne’s contest, you must do so via her blog. Good luck, clever readers, I’ll vote for you in the finals. Unless I’m in them, too.
Fun website!
Love Anne’s products, and realize how much fun it must be to get just the right caption for the “look” of the photo.
The above photo was superimposed over an old postcard of the entrance to Detroit’s Washington Boulevard at Michigan Avenue with the edge of the fashionable Book-Cadillac Hotel visible to the right, and the Book Tower to the left.
When ladies once shopped the “Boulevard” dressed like that in the day.
A caption for this one could be: “I used to care, but now I take a pill for that”
Jeff, love your caption — be sure to enter it on Anne’s site!
I will!
Thanks!
Darling, in my world there are no bad hair days..
I’m a sucker for Ann Taintor refrigerator magnets and cocktail napkins. I always end up buying something when I’m in P-Town. I entered, “My beauty was Edison’s inspiration.”
Very cool Pam! I submitted my caption, love their website!
I have several of her magnets on my fridge – They’re the best!
The phase I entered was:
“He thinks I don’t know about him and his pretty, young Secretary…
…but he doesn’t know I just bought his company!”
“Mother always said: If you can’t beat him…
…spend all his money!”
I love her stuff. I’ve been thinking of getting a flask. Just for tea of course
“Every day is like Christmas…
when it’s Fleet Week”
good one. be sure to enter it!
ooooh such fun! Thanks for letting us know about the website.
i love her stuff and submitted a caption as well. since most of her best involve alcohol, passive-aggressive ire, or sexual double entendres, i capitalized on the fact that she is sporting a fur muff.
oh gawd, i don’t even want to guess…
I have a couple magnets at my desk at work – the best phrase is : “he’s a blues song waiting to happen” -
my phrase for this one “honey, did you look in the mirror before you left the house?” – yes, I’ll enter it on her website.
I have “Side Effects” on my 1963 GE Spacemaker. Love her work.
“Alice brings home take-out from the Road Kill Cafe’……..again.”
If smugness was an art form……you could call me Picasso!
Entered a second one:
“Puttin’ the “broad” back in “Broadway”
I like this one way better than any of the finalists.
I did something like
You want to look as good as me?
Bright City Lights Background – Check
Stylish Hat – Check
Mink Stole – Check
Real Gold Choker – Check
Perfect Makeup – Check
Big Fat Divorce Settlement – Check!
I entered: He’ll be back. I have his toupee.

Big props to Pam, over 1K entries!!
Thanks, 52, I saw Anne’s post but skipped right over the fact we had sent so many entries her way!
I keep getting error messages. Either the site i down or maybe she’s updating it?
looks like her site is down. these types of things get fixed quickly. try back later.
