Before I get into the details of a new contest from Coppertone, I want to share a cute story from my childhood.
When I was about 4 or 5 years old, there was a billboard in my Florida hometown feautring the iconic Coppertone water baby, AKA Little Miss Coppertone — you know the ad with the little girl with pigtails and the puppy grabbing at her bottom?
For some reason I was CONVINCED that the billboard was of me, and I was the Coppertone water baby– this was in the 80’s. My parents didn’t help the situation because Iรย distinctlyรย remember them going along with my fantasy.
Looking back, I’m not sure how or why I thought I was on the billboard — I suppose I resembled the girl a little and had a puppy — but, if I remember correctly, I think the sign was a drawing similar to the design at right, instead of an actual girl.
Long story short, I wasn’t the Coppertone water baby– but your daughter could be the next Little Miss Coppertone!!
If you have a little girl between the ages of two and seven, upload a pictureรย on theรย Coppertone Facebook pageรย before June 22 to be entered.รย Celebrity mom Alison Sweeney will act as a guest judge to select the top 10 finalists who personify the playful, optimistic spirit of Coppertoneรขโฌโขs iconic character. Then,รย America will cast a vote for the winner who will receive the ultimate family vacation and be featured in a 2013 Coppertone print ad!
For more information and the official contest rules, please visit theรย Coppertone website atรย www.coppertone.comรย or the brandรขโฌโขs Facebook page atรย www.facebook.com/coppertone.
