Don’t miss the last cougar & cub gathering until after Thanksgiving

Free cougar bait update; win weekly prizes at Cougar Town Happy Hour

I was certain that Colorado’s cougars would come out in packs to enter the inaugural Queen Cougar & King Cub Contest. So far, the cougars have not come through. It’s obvious that these cats need some coaxing. So, how about some free swag?

Not only will gifts be given to the woman who is crowned Queen Cougar, but also names of contestants will be drawn for incredible giveaways. The winners will be announced at the weekly Cougar Town Happy Hour.

I anticipate these wonderful gifts from our generous sponsors — worth $100 or more — will be great cougar bait. Below are the first two giveaways for the Nov. 18 happy hour. Sign up online or during the Happy Hour.

Names will be drawn from the new entries, and one prize will be awarded to each winner. Prizes will be distributed during — or shortly after — the contest finale.

Giveaway No. 1: Avanti Skin Center will provide a certificate for 10 units of Botox; value $130.

One step inside the Avanti Skin Center in Cherry Creek North and the serene ambiance relaxes you, even before you experience one of its many beauty services. Avanti offers skin rejuvenation/tightening, facials and peels, Microdermabrasion, laser hair removal, acne treatments, Botox injections, Juvederm, medical grade skincare products and so much more for healthier and better-looking skin.

In addition to providing gifts for the cougar contest, Avanti has special deals through Oct. 31.

Calling all cougars, these gifts are just the beginning!

I want Colorado’s cougars to embrace their beauty and power and show the world that 40-plus is absolutely fabulous!

I admit I cheated a bit and started the cougar contest age requirement  at 35. Technically, pop culture dictates that 30- to 39-year-old beauties are “pumas,” but for the sake of competition, I wanted to give more women the option to enter.

We do have one brave cougar already in the contest, 48-year-old Jerzee. She looks better than girls in their 20s and 30s, and she could handily win the contest as the solo entry, but that’s no fun. We need to get some competition going.

And in case you were wondering, I have not forgotten about the cubs.

Gifts for the boys will be announced soon. Stay tuned.
