Oops, looks like someone stole a few accompanying sock palettes. I won't point fingers... but I blame Molly B.

Grats on the win guys. I trust you'll do the right thing with your prizes and use them to slide across many a floor. :]

You don't have odd taste... you just don't have mainstream taste is all. It's good to break free from convention and embrace individualism. The palettes I enter in contests rarely ever get more than 30 loves on them. That's because there's probably all of 30 people here on this entire site that genuinely love the color combinations that I do! Have you ever noticed that the same users EVERY TIME always have the highest amount of votes in the contests? And they usually consist of pastel colors or dark, muted colors. The saturated COLOURlovers rarely ever make it. I'd like to see something like these win for a change:

Rosey Toes by Wordofmouse www.COLOURlovers.com
They should totally make three categories of winners:
Dark/Muted, Pastel, and Bright. Have one pair of socks win in each category and then, EVERYONE can have a shot at winning and maybe for once I'd actually use the coupon code and buy the socks. (Cuz I tell ya my friends... the only way I'd ever spend $25 on socks is if they were bright rainbow colored. :-)

I loved almost each sock I saw entering the competition just trying to give some chance to different coloured socks.I agree with sundancer about making categories and each individual create for which he/she thinks is his favorite.Mainstream is something I don't like here in CL and there are many like me.I already gave my final vote for Argyle contest and good luck to everyone.Hugs)))
