Win Pink Comic #2: The Tuileries Scene

I’ll be giving away five copies of the infamous Tuileries scene from The Secret History of the Pink Carnation, expertly brought to life by Joanne Renaud, illustrator extraordinaire.

Inspired by Cho’s brilliant Facebook feed version of The Secret History of the Pink Carnation, voila today’s challenge:

Create a Facebook status update for any of the characters from any of the Pink books (i.e. Gaston Delaroche is dyspeptic, or Miss Gwendloyn Meadows joined the group Parasols ‘R Us).

You have until Sunday night to post your “status” in the comments section below and I’ll choose five people at random to receive copies of the limited edition Pink Carnation Tuileries print.

Winners will be announced on Monday.
