A friend, a man, in this case, is drowning his sorrows in a stiff drink. His I-am-single-why-don’t-I-have-a-girlfriend sorrows. We’re nodding, patting his head, letting him reel. Suddenly his eyes light up, shinier than two nickels in the Miami sunshine.

“How much to place a personals ad on DailyCandy?” he begs. “I want to stand up before your thousands of hottie subscribers and post a personal.”

In his honor…

Here’s your chance to reach out to the painfully stylish, loving, caring, smart, and successful women of DailyCandy. Right, girls? Maybe you’ve got the hots for one specific DailyCandy subscriber. Maybe you want to propose. Be it a singles ad, a declaration of your undying love, a tear-jerking proposal…it’s your call. The bottom line is, the top part of this e-mail is up for grabs, and the bidding starts now. So log onto eBay and enter keyword “DailyCandy.” You provide the sales pitch, we provide the platform. Bidding closes on Tuesday, June 5 at approximately 5 p.m. Stay tuned to see the winner and his or her message next week.
