First of all, I want to thank you all for entering and retweeting the Fashion Police Caption Contest in support of fellow blogger Lori and her quest to raise money for the American Heart Association. I also want to thank our current Caption Contest Queen— Sara from Periwinkle Papillon, who volunteered to match my donation of $1 per caption. And I can't forget my friend Pam, who allowed me to use the awesome picture of her daughter Ella. There were over 100 comments entered in just two days which means that $200 will be donated to Project: Purse and Boots.

Now on to the winner. Here's the picture again to refresh…

Sara tells me it was a tough decision but she finally picked (drumroll)…

Roo from {NiceGirlNotes} with her caption:

"Come and get me, PETA. THIS IS SPARTAAAA!"

I'm extremely pleased to give the crown to Roo, the very funny blogger behind {NiceGirlNotes} but I must admit that I did not know the Sparta reference until I looked it up. It's from the movie 300 and is apparently a popular online meme for all the other people who make it a habit of avoiding movies that look horrible. FYI— It is very cozy underneath my rock and the cinema is fanatastic.

Congratulations Roo— you, my friend, will have the supreme honor of judging the next caption contest.

Who else deserves some props?

First Runner-Up goes to Fritter with:

"Elton is my guncle."

Second Runner-Up goes to Klz with:

"Now they'll never find me."

And "Lori's Official Purse & Boots Pick" goes to Stephanie who said:

"It was either me or the zebra."

But with over 100 captions, I couldn't stop there…

The "There's A Reason I'm A Two Time Caption Contest Queen" Award goes to JLK who said:

The "Yes, I Went There" Award goes to julie gardner who said:

"Does anyone know where the Midget 2.0 conference is? I'm meeting my husband Chewy there. Thanks."

The "For A Good Cause" Award goes to Ninja Mom who said:

"Suri, who?"

And in honor of Mother's Day, I am going to give the "I Love You Mom" Award to (who else?) my mom who said:

"Lucky me! I outbid everyone at the Britney Spears memorabilia auction for the benefit of the criminally tasteless!"

To see all 109 entries, you can visit the original post here. But there can only be one official Caption Contest Queen. Congratulations Roo— the crown is yours. Feel free to wear it on your blog with pride. Or throw it in the trash. You're the Queen, so it's your call. Even if you have terrible taste in movies.
