I heart Giveaways – Free Hair Cut from Dean of Shadyside

Image via WikipediaSome of the blogs that I follow on a regular basis occasionally have a contest to giveaway prizes to their readers. I have been collecting a big pile of things to giveaway but I didn’t get a chance to post them before Christmas. But that mean I can keep the giving going in 2009.

So for the first IheartPGH Giveaway – I have a free hair cut with Ellie at Dean of Shadyside Salon. Ellie cut my hair last month and I must say I am happy with the hair cut. (It turns out to Dean of Shadyside).

There is one catch – you have to be a new customer to Dean of Shadyside, if you have been there already – sorry about that – I promise I have more giveaways sitting here on my desk that don’t have a catch.

To enter just leave a comment below or send an email to info@iheartpgh.com with the subject haircut. I will collect entries through Noon on Thursday, January 15, 2009 and I will then randomly select a winner from the entries. (more…)

Found on Flickr: Who Puts the Shady in Shadyside

I found this picture on Flickr while I was writing a blog post about something else. I thought it was worth sharing. I have a soft sport for clever graffiti see a picture I took of more graffiti here.
