I've always loved the Vargas Pin Up Girl style illustrations. There was something so classic forties about them and they were just plain fun. I also loved some of the martini glass versions, as a kid the idea of someone sitting in a glass tickled my fancy.
My alter ego, The Martini Diva, has a perfect place for some newer versions from me at The Martini Diva Boutique and so I have started a series of GIRLS IN A MARTINI GLASS in a fun cartoon illustration style.
My second in this series is OLIVIA - named after the tumbling olives falling from her martini glass:
She's a perky little blond in a hot little red swimsuit kicking up her heels in a martini glass - a martini diva cartoon illustration sure to put the happy in your happy hour!

I guess I made this contest too complicated or maybe it was just too much effort to play. Either way no one bothered to send me any answers so there is no winner. Interesting since my blog hits doubled during the contest, huh?
I even triple checked to make sure an e-mail addressed to DKNYcontest@PopArtDiva.com came through to my mail box. I checked my spam folder. Nothing. Nada. Zip.
For $165 dollars worth of perfume I thought people would do the work but I guess I was wrong!
I may try another, simpler type of contest next week and I'll get back to you before Friday if I do. Right now I'm a little bugged I did all that work for nothing so I'm going to have a martini and watch a comedy on TV!
If you sent me an entry PLEASE leave me a comment and let me know and resend your entry. The first e-mail I get - if I get any - with the correct answers will win the perfume.

I woke up this morning, turned on the TV and the first thing I saw was my screen filled with this 2010 version of a classic candy - the adorable Sweetheart Candies that have been a part of Valentine's Day ever since that first schoolgirl/schoolboy crush way back in the fifties has entered the computer age.
Yes folks, this year you will be able to give your Valentine a Sweetheart candy heart that says "TWEET ME" or "TEXT ME".
As far as I'm concerned Twitter has officially arrived - it has now become part of classic candy marketing and has entered into pop culture history thanks to Necco and our beloved Sweethearts Candy Hearts.
I'm curious, do they have one that says "Friend Me" for Facebook fans or maybe they should do one that says "Google Me"?

Yes, I finally decided to have a contest and it's a very Pop Art Diva style of contest:
What kind of contest? A RETRO TRIVIA QUESTION CONTEST - What else would you expect from me?
What does it cost to enter? NOTHING except your time to participate in the quiz for the next week.
What are the Rules? THE CONTEST DETAILS are below at the bottom of this post.
What will you win? This adorable set of 3 limited edition DKNY CANDY APPLE FRAGRANCES donated by DKNY:I was contacted by DKNY and asked if I would be interested in promoting their new limited edition Delicious Candy Apples Collection of fragrances which is launching in February. It's not my practice to promote any products - other than my own - but they said they would give me a set of these fun new Pop Art looking perfumes as a prize to give away to my readers, as well as a set for myself! Gotta be honest with you I loved their packaging and thought you might too! (Guys don't run away just yet, you could really score some points with your current lady if you win!) The bottles are totally Pop Art style - fun, whimsical and in some hot pop art colors.
The limited edition Delicious Candy Apples Collection is the latest entry into the best-selling DKNY family of his and her fragrances. The three new fragrances are all about pairing the sweetness of candy with a ripe, juicy apple. The fragrances are currently only available at DKNY.com and will be available in Sephora, Department stores and Perfumeries nationwide in February 2010.
Each fragrance has it's own personality. The Sweet Caramel comes in the Green Apple Bottle, the Ripe Raspberry in the Red Apple and the Juicy Berry in the Purple Apple. Sweet Caramel opens with candy apple, pear and marshmallow notes, which blend into a heart of jasmine, muguet and violet leaves and a drydown of caramel and vanilla. Ripe Raspberry opens with raspberry, apple and lime notes, a heart of peonies and lily, and a drydown of cola accord. Juicy Berry opens with black currant, blackberry, pear and lychee notes, blends into a heart of rose petals and apple blossom, and finishes with sandalwood and sugary blond woods.
My favorite is the Juicy Berry - probably because of the blending of some of my favorite fruit essences with the rose and apple. These frangrances remind me of some of my favorite martini recipes from The Martini Diva and they fit right in with my birthday celebration martinis this month based on CANDY! How could I not love that?
Here's their adorable little animated apple dancing video - enjoy:
