Contest: This Halloween…Get Axed

Posted by Monica Danna on Oct 28, 2009 in contests

With Halloween just a few days away many of you (like me) may be scrambling to find that last-minute costume that is both easy to put together and sharp enough to turn heads. As recent fan of the show, I figured the classic “Mad Men” look promises to be one of the hottest costumes this weekend.

To help you  pull together this last-minute costume, I’m teaming up with AXE Hair to offer some simple tips from Men’s Celebrity Hair Stylist and Grooming Expert Diana Schmidtke, who is working with AXE Hair.

The “Mad Men” costume is very easy to pull off.  Most guys probably have most of these items in their closet:

- Suit coat and Slacks (any color)
- White, collared, button-down shirt
- Dress shoes and belt to match (any color)
- Briefcase (you can also find this an a near-by thrift store)
- A shine pomade to create a sleek, classic hair style. Don’t forget the straight-as-an-arrow part!

I’m giving away two (2) of the following prizes packages:

- “Mad Men” DVD set – to get in the spirit and help your readers model their costume after their favorite character
- Brooks Brothers skinny tie
- AXE Smooth & Sophisticated Look Shine Pomade – the newest product from AXE Hair designed to give guys that classic look you’re seeing on the runways and in popular shows like Mad Men
- AXE Itch Relief 2 in 1 Cooling Anti-Dandruff Shampoo + Conditioner

In order to enter, leave a comment on this post and I’ll draw a winner tomorrow afternoon at 4pm CST. The prize package will be overnighted to you just in time for all  your Halloween shindigs.

Good Luck!
