Hotties on Spring Break
Filed under: Contest, events, friends of rick's picks, recipe ideas |
Leave a Comment The time-honored rituals of college students on Spring break are not lost on us here at Rick’s Picks. But since we’ve been quite busy planning the 2011 year in pickles at the home office, we haven’t been able to “take our talents to South Beach”, as LeBron James would say. But we still have been nicely represented. Here’s a few snapshots of our Hotties styling and profiling in sunny South Florida.
Hotties waiting for the sun to come out. Who designed that label, Norma Kamali?
One great advantage to being a pickle jar-size Hottie and not an actual human hottie is there is more room to spread out on the cabana chair.
Hotties getting some advice from the hotel yoga instructor on the finer points of downward dog.
Burt Lancaster never had it so good in "From Here To Eternity".
And Hotties lovers, don’t forget to enter our Hotties recipe contest! Deadline is March 31st!
