As a native New Yorker and a Yankees fan, I am risking major ridicule and even banishment by writing nice things about Philadelphia just a few hours before the start of the World Series. Healthy rivalry is a good thing in sports but I refuse to malign an entire city. Sure, I don't want the Phillies to beat my hometown team but I still think our neighbors in Philadelphia are pretty cool.
Just a few weeks ago, I took the bus to Philly to check out the wonderful Princess Diana exhibition at the National Constitution Center. This short one-day getaway made me promise myself that I would get back to Philly to see more of the arts, fashion and culinary scene, so I was really excited to learn about the Philly 360 Makeover Contest.
The lucky winner will get pampered with a two-night stay at the shiny and new Hotel Palomar, round-trip tickets on Amtrak, and two tickets to Philadanco's 40th anniversary season performance. To make sure you look glamorous during your getaway, the winner will also receive a head-to-toe makeover with hair consultation and styling, facial, make-up application, jewelry, clothing, shoes, accessories, shoes, and more! Whew, those Philadelphians sure are generous! Baseball aside, this could be the start of a beautiful friendship! Click here to enter the contest.
PS. Go Yankees!
