”One night he was so drunk that I had to drag him away from the pub and bring him in a park to vomit. When he finished, he was upset and we sat on a bench. Still drunk and hesitant, he pointed his finger at a star straight above our heads and he said:

-That is the star my mother dedicated to me and it has always been mine. But from now on it will be yours too, if you want. Its name is Mary Julia and everytime you will look at it in any situation, any moment you will know that I’m there near to you laughing about how queer you are. I will always be there, I promise, I will look at you from Mary Julia. And even the contrary because it’s our star, just ours, a star that belongs to two idiots that strum and that every night lie on a bench full of alcohol.

I was flabbergasted, and together we started to laugh.

Some years later I looked at that star and I cried for a whole night.
His laugh near me wasn’t enough to make me stop. But I realised that he kept his promise and it was beautiful.”

[Paul McCartney on John Lennon]

OK, we are ready to roll! General consensus dictates that the giveaway will be weekly and, bearing this in mind, this how it will play…

HOW IT WORKS:

• Firstly, you need not be a Tumblr user to join in this giveaway. We know that some of our regular followers do not have accounts and feel it isn’t fair to exclude them for this reason, so no worries!
• To be in for a chance of winning, all you need to do is like OR reblog OR leave a comment using Disqus on this post (please, please be honest and only leave the one comment with a name, don’t create multiple persons to improve your chances).
• The usernames will be collated after the week and a winner selected at random (your name will only be input once so multiple reblogs won’t get you any closer to winning). The winner will be announced on this Tumblr and then asked to contact us at contact@nakedpersimmon.com so that we may get their delivery address and their preferred choice of magazines.
• Week One and Two will both be for 5 magazines, and Three and Four will be for 4 each.
• We will ship to anywhere in the world and you will not be responsible for any postage charges.
• Naturally, if you win one batch, you are not eligble for another. Fair play and all that.
• Each giveaway will start at 10pm BST (5pm EST & 2pm PST) and the winner announced at 8pm BST (3pm EST & 12pm PST) the following Saturday.

I think that about covers it but if there are any questions, let me know and I will clear them up for everyone and brush up the post if need be. I’ll reblog every day so that it doesn’t get missed by anyone. And just as a reference, the magazines up for grabs are below!

I had some time (okay I have a whole lot of spare time, lol), so I decided to tidy up that absolutely gorgeous photo of Mike from the cover of the Flip magazine that was reblogged from the Psycho Jello tumblr earlier today.

I also refinished the background so there’s not all the various publishing elements from the magazine cover.

:)

Beautiful job! Reblogging to celebrate your hard work and for the Mike winkage.
