Lindsay posted about cool Steelers gear … so I thought I would post a link to my Etsy site where I sell my handmade Steelers bottle cap earrings. A friend of mine helped out and so now we have expanded to include Hines Ward, Sexy Troy, Action Troy, and Deshea Townsend. I can do custom ones on request. These were inspired by a pair of Virgin of Guadeloupe earrings I got in Veracruz a few years ago.

I had heard rumors about this contest in the past and I received the link to StuckAtProm.com from Emily (Emily and I both work on the blog WhatIfPost) in an email today.
Stuck at Prom is a contest held by the good folks who manufacture Duct Tape for high school students to create a prom dress and tuxedo out of duct tape.
Thanks to Pitt Girl (she writes the Burgh Blog) I learned that one of the top 10 finalists is from the Pittsburgh area. Click here to read the Post-Gazette article about the dress.
Winning couples receive a $3000 scholarship and their school also receives $3000. Currently Sharon Dranko and Joshua Humm are in the lead with over 16,000 votes. Voting ends June 29, 2008.
