Just a reminder: there are 27 days left in the art contest. Winners get super awesome cool bubblegum shirts ♥

So far I have zero entries, but I can’t wait to see what everyone comes up with! 

Reblogging incase anyone missed this:

Last year, FYGR hosted a Gilda inspired art contest. I wanted to do it again this year, because last year’s entries were incredible, inspiring, and delightfully wonderful. It was great to see what Gilda meant to each one of you, and how you expressed it in such creative, unique ways.

HERE ARE THE RULES FOR THE CONTEST: 

1. Entries can be in any medium. Digital/Paint/Decoupage/Poem/ FanVid/Interpretive dance etc. If you use direct source material (IE a collage of pictures in Photoshop) please credit them in your submission! 
2. You can enter as many times as you wish. All entries will be posted on FYGR, with a link back to your blog. 
3. There will be two winners. One will be my personal favorite, and the other will be voted on by you guys. (Tallied by number of notes.)  The winners will receive Bubble Gum Lady t-shirts:    I promise they won’t be wonky like this one. The foam I was printing on had a dent so Gilda’s face is missing….yikes. I finally worked out kinks and they look super awesome now!
4. In order for shipping cost to be worth it, at least five different people need to enter. Again, you can enter as many times as you like, in as many different mediums as you like.
5. The contest will end on June 27th, with winners announced on the 28th (Gilda’s birthday!) 

Submissions can be added HERE.

If you have any questions, feel free to message me! 

I hope everyone’s had an ok day— I’m kind of tired of being sad, so here’s my good news post for the day:

Dearest Gilda,

It’s been 23 years since you passed and the world has been poorer without your sweet girlish charm, stunning beauty, and comical wit. You were truly a gem here on Earth, and I know that you are now a beautiful angel. I love you and miss you so much. See you on the other side someday <3

Love, Hugs, and Kisses,

Melissa <3

it’s a bittersweet day for everyone. They say it’s an honor when someone you love passes away on your birthday. My dad passed away on my sister’s 25th birthday last year. I can’t imagine losing someone you love and was so funny on your birthday.

I love Gilda & Zweibel so much. At times I think of them as my parents, I’ve never met my biological parents, they think I’m dead. I love my adopted parents so much, but sometimes they were spiritually supportive and have showed me how to deal with death. I feel like they’ve given me the real love and support I’ve longed for.

I miss you Gilda!! <3

Today is the anniversary of Gilda Radner’s death…RIP Gilda, you were a wonderful person who deserved a longer life….we all love and miss you!

To many people on the stage we saw tonight, Gilda was their inspiration, the person who inspired them to pursue their SNL dreams the way that those people inspire us.

Rest in peace Gilda. Thank you for teaching us that it’s always something.
