Learn to rock like a....

While perusing Bikerumor.com I read that Tifosi was having a photo contest over on their Facebook page. Being that I am not only a "Category Winner", but also a major contest winner I decided to throw my hat in the ring. It was a pretty easy contest, become a "fan" of Tifosi's Facebook page, submit a photo of yourself in a pair of Tifosi's, and wait to be notified of your win (or not be notified of your failure to secure the top spot on the podium).

I submitted the Seal of Semi Approval...

and my stunning Endurance Magazine cover shot (taken by the talented Tamara Lackey)

Shortly after submitting my photo to the contest powers that be I got an email from Joe Nuss (editor of Endurance Magazine). Apparently Tifosi wanted a copy of the magazine (probably to have framed and put in their showroom), and they had contacted Joe to get a back issue. They also wanted to show their appreciation for my absent minded wearing of their eyewear on top of my head at the photo shoot by sending me a free pair of Tifosis.

I perused the Tifosi web page in anticipation. Would I be getting a cool pair of do-it-all fototec lens equipped specs? Maybe a simple pair of single lens glasses I could sport at work to replace the ones in the photo (that I broke doing something stupid months ago)? Maybe some interchangeable lens model that's more multi-purpose than an elementary school cafeteria/gym/auditorium?

Yesterday I got the care package from Tifosi. It only said "Thanks for the Endurance cover shot! - Megan", and nothing else. No way to write a thank you letter or perhaps send a well wishing Hallmark card in gratitude. What was inside?

A shiny pair of Dolomites. The good news is that they have three sets of lenses and make me look three years younger. The bad news is that they were available in pimptastic, oh so pro, "Look at me, I'm so important" WHITE, and I didn't get that fine frame color option that represents every color in the visible spectrum at once. To make me feel even less special I noticed that Big Tom ParSSons just got a pair too. Buzz kill for sure. Just when I thought I was "somebody"...

So you are soooo welcome Megan. When I wear these glasses I will think of you, but since I don't know you very well I'll be picturing this:

And in the future (if you want to avoid the Seal of Semi Approval) you might just want to send white framed glasses, for I usually wear white, or I wear nothing at all....
