A Very Yummie Tummie Giveaway

bossys-girlz

From left to right, you are looking at Stefania and Cat, two of Bossy’s favorite people who Bossy met during her Excellent Road Trip. You can read about the night Stefania made Bossy try crack yogurt for the first time here, and you can read about the party Cat threw for Bossy here.

But this post isn’t about Stefania and Cat. So back to Stefania and Cat: they contacted Bossy in July and told her they were promoting something called Yummie Tummie, and would Bossy like to try one? And Bossy said why sure, because Bossy always begins all her sentence with why.

And so a few days later, off Bossy went to the Chicago BlogHer conference, and waiting for Bossy in her hotel room was a delightful Yummie Tummie garment, which Bossy then slipped over her head, where slipped over equals there was also maybe a crowbar involved. But, tah-dah!

And it looked so cute Bossy decided to wear it out! For two days straight! And so she wore it here:

melanie-bossy

And she danced in it here:

bossy-georgia-getz-dances

And when speaking on a stage in front of thousands of bloggers with her image up on a billboard size screen oh yes, she wore it here:

georgia-getz-speaker

What with all the wearing of the garment to here and here and here, Bossy forgot to notice the part where Yummie Tummie is actually Shapewear. Yeah, typically to be worn under clothes. Or if you’re really one of those adventurous types, under clothes peeking out.

But the thing is? The Yummie Tummie tops don’t just hold everything in place, they’re really cute and very comfortable and practical in terms of being long in all the right places and scooped in all the right places.

So today Bossy and her friends at Yummie Tummie would like to give one Bossy reader the chance to try out one of the body shapers with a $100 gift certificate. Simply leave a comment below, one per person please, and Bossy will select a winner employing her pal the Random Number Generator.

Good luck!

Contest Closed. Thank you for participating!

  4. Ummm, guys eligible? ‘Coz you know, the gut ain’t all high & tight like it used to be. Where “used to be” = “never was.” So, count me in, plz.

  8. Shapewear? That’s a no brainer, sign me up! Thanks for the Simon and Garfunkel flashback yesterday – I loved the soundtrack to your summer. Mine would be Flight of the Bumblebees…

  11. Sign me up. I bought one a while back that isn’t a Shapewear and it kills me around the middle. This HAS to be more comfortable!!!!

  18. OHHH, I JUST read about these in Real Simple Magazine (I think – it was somewhere anyway, maybe the vast internets.. but anyway I read about them JUST yesterday!) Going on vacation – need to hide some of my previous yummies that went to my tummie!!! pick me, pick me!!! 🙂 PS – Bossy so does not need such a product!!!

  23. Julie is attending her high school reunion and she graduated in the cro-magnon era. Her tummy is yummier than before but still doesn’t look like after.

  31. Your Yummie Tummie pics at the BlogHer conference reminded me of what you said about your mom getting black leos at Baum’s and wearing them out & about.

    To have something which is supportive and slenderizing (or is it just b/c Bossy is so slim?) would be fantastic!

    P.S. There was tons of tease in your look!

  33. Please pick me, random number generator! I had a 10 lb baby and a c-section (2 different kids) The tummy could use some help.

  39. I would have never guessed that was shapewear. Wow, I would love to have one to smooth out my midsection.

  41. The name says it all! I thought you were giving away a food basket but this might be better for me!

  44. I thought this was going to be a cookie giveaway. You let me know when you want to give me something yummy to put in my tummy (besides the bitter taste of disappointment over lack of said cookies).

  58. can I have a yummie tummy because I have put far too much yummy in this tummy and it looks like a collapsed blacmange

  65. …Ooo yeah – put me down for a Yummy Tummy! Too cute! :o)

    …And couldn’t of Bossy removed the red eyes on that gal that was dancing opposite of Bossy, you know, as a courtesy? Egads, it looks like she’s givin’ Bossy the ol’ laser eye…lol :o)

    …And btw, only Bossy can pull off wearing shapewear as actual clothing! ;o)

    …Blessings…

  67. …I mean, “Yummie Tummie”…(I guess if I want them to give me one in a contest I should at least spell their name right huh? ;o)

  82. If I win, will it make my tummy look like Bossy’s?
    Did I mention I’m 7 months preggo? That would truly be a miracle of Eureka proportions.

    But count me in. Because I’m sure in a couple months I’m going to be wanting one of these badly.

  104. I REALLY need a yummy tummy….I’m kinda a cowgirl and you know how they are….always tucking their shirts in….and wearing belts ugh!

  111. I need one because my tummy has had too many yummies and is now quite unruly 😉
    AWWW now I know who complimented my shoes while I was standing on the fountain taking pictures the last night of BlogHer 🙂 It was YOU!
    You were so sweet, THANK YOU!!!

  126. Excellent giveaway! I don’t have to post a picture of myself wearing it though if I win, right? …

  127. Well, Bossy’s tummy sure as heck doesn’t *need* no stinkin’ shapewear, but mine sure does!!! I tell ya, this viral marketing stuff? It works! Rock bottom on my list of things to do today was click through to any website called “Yummy Tummy” (not food — more’s the pity). But I just did and it looks like they have some great stuff there. Thanks for the giveaway, Bossy!

  135. Nothing brings out the comments like a contest, huh?!

    Not that I can say much because here I am, commenting on a contest post, hoping beyond hope that my good friend Random Number Generator picks ME!

  137. 6 months after my twins entered the world…I would like a yummy tummy. Or just not quite the twin skin I now have 🙁

  138. Please, please, please! I’ve been wanting to try one but they’re just not in my budget right now…

  140. Dear Random Number Generator: I have been a very good girl (except for the gluttonous eating and drinking). Anyways, a Yummy Tummy would fix most of it, don’t you think?

  142. That top looked so nice on you at BlogHer, and I’m assuming it wasn’t so tight you couldn’t breathe ’cause you weren’t out of breath as you read, unlike me who almost died when when I tried to squeeze myself into That Other Shapewear Brand (*cough* Spanx *cough*). I’m in!

  143. Uhmmmm Are older still overweight but have lost 109 pounds women elgible to try and suck up the extra flesh ? Yes Please Choose me !!!

  150. Oh Bossy! My tummy needs holdin’ on so many levels – for one, I’ve got sutures in my side (ish), for another that bad man finally left me and even though he is a bad man (because he is a…?) I really miss him, fml; and i haven’t had anything new to wear in an age, and that is just my style, the black one you have, and a…. nyeah, there’s more. But I will spare you, close for now with fingers crossed. Thanks for the chance to win.

  160. Bossy looks fab without any help from Yummie Tummie. I could use all the shapewear shaping I can get, and then some. Please pick me!

  162. When I first started reading this post, I thought Bossy was going to be giving away Dunkin Donuts coffee, and I was all “YAY!” because I heart Dunkin Donuts coffee. Then I read on to realize that you were giving away a chance at buying some lovely clothes, and I realized, “Sweet. I could wear these while BUYING Dunkin Donuts coffee, and people won’t think I should lay off the donuts.” Win-win, Bossy!

  166. With a name like Yummie Tummie, I was hoping you were giving away food. But given that my shape has refused to come back after having baby #4, I could use a body shaper. Bring it on!

  168. Oh dear lord please let me win. I have lost 40lbs in the past 6 months and have some skin that is totally saggy (not cute).

  172. Sign me up for the drawing. I sure could use one of those fancy contraptions, or maybe a few hundred situps. But hey, 20 months since the baby was born is much too soon for situps, right?

  176. Please, please, please!!! I really want to try one of these but am hosting my own unwelcome poverty party these days…

  177. I obviously spend too much time around my young children’s television…I instantly thought of dog treats given to Clifford the Big Red Dog. 🙂

  181. Dear Bossy,
    You’re not the first person I’d think of who needs a body shaper. Like Mary Poppins (who I watched last night) you’re “practically perfect in every way”. Now give me that damn shaper.
    Franca

  192. {in the voice of eeyore} Oh well, I guess I’ll comment here too, even though random generators never pick me. My flubby tummy could use some yummy.

  202. do we have to wear it for public speaking? well, perhaps if there’s a wine gift certificate too… oh – who am I kidding – if anything held my tummie in, I’d be all about showing it!

  206. I gotta a whole lotta yummy in my tummy. That would be the reason I need something to “help” the tummy situation 🙂

    Pick me please!

  211. I have to say I would think they might want to test their product on a person with some body fat (that is, Not lovely Bossy). So here I am!

  215. Sorry, don’t think I’d look as good in it as you (so don’t pick me for this one), but thanks for leaving out the tease. Next time more of the other please.

  218. ooh, ooh, down here random generator, WAY down here!!pick me!! 🙂

    Do they have a yummie tummie for other parts as well? How about the Yummie Upper Arm-ies? Or the Yummie Panties? (well…maybe they need to work on that name a bit more…sounds a bit too much like a Fredericks’ of Hollywood article of clothing…oy.) How about a Yummie Upper Leggies? Anything that I can comfortably stuff excess areas of my body that seem to spill out when given the opportunity.

  220. sweet jeezus bossy, if there was ever a need for a yummie tummie it is right here at pot belly central – so please pick me – much love from the bottom of my belly

  222. Oh, I could use these. Why, oh why don’t companies manufacture size H tops?

    Looking good, Bossy!

  226. Dear Bossy’s random number generator:

    If you had eyes, you would see that nobody needs this more than I do. Why, oh why do you continue to forsake me? Why the hate? Share the love! And other overused expressions that mean PICK ME.

  231. I definitely need that. If random generator doesn’t select me, can I have Bossy’s? She doesn’t need it half as much as I do!

  237. How adorable, you skinny little thing you, running around all day in your cute shape wear. And providing visuals to boot! Wonderful.

  249. I think it’s not just about the tummy! And I need some assistance!The famous English poet Pam Ayres said it better than me, though in her (eponymous for me) poem: “. . . When I was young I got whistles and hoots, From the men on the site to the men in the suits, Now me nipples get stuck in the zips on me boots, Oh, I wish I’d looked after me tits.”

  251. If you wear a Yummy Tummy and spanx together, do you end up with really big boobs? Or enormous knees? I’m willing to take one for the team and investigate…

  262. I just came over to say hi today and look at this fantastic give away. Now, I am sad to say that I would truly utilize the features of this garment! You? NOT SO MUCH! How stinking skinny are you? Man. Skinny and fabulous Bossy!

  263. Shapewear? I thought it was some gooey, chocolate, coffee thingy. I could use a snack right about now….
    Sign me up anyways!

  268. This is really just a clever trick to find out how many people are REALLY reading iambossy every day, right?

  269. And here I thought you were talking about a drink–a yummie tummie drink. But I’d love to try one of these. I need all the miracles I can get.

  275. Lord, have mercy, I need one (or ten) of those. Cause my tummy is ANYTHING but yummy right now and my “Operation Less Jiggly” efforts are not going so well.

  290. Bossy was rockin’ the Yummie Tummie. I know it won’t look nearly as good on me, but I’d love to give it a whirl!

  292. Classic story… except for the bit where you don’t HAVE A TUMMY AT ALL… *sheesh*

    On the other hand… I DO!! Can I have one purty puhlease Bossy?
    🙂
    BB

  299. Yes please. I have tried one of those belly be gone things from Pennys and all it did was suffocate me and roll down and up at the same time, so I had all kinds of rolls and things everywhere. NOT CUTE.

  302. Getting married on Saturday, need a Yummie Tummie! But, all the Yummie Tummies in the world will not make my tummy as flat as BOSSY’s.

  303. Oh, look! There’s Catherine and Angella and Bossy and Neil! I want to go to there…again. But, I’ll need some Yummie Tummie’s first.

  305. Please, please pick me! I’ve been lamenting my lumpiness quite a bit lately, but since I’m in nursing school, can’t find the time to exercise. I sure would like to improve the way my clothes look,

  334. I’m having twin girls in two weeks…Lord have mercy on my stretched out belly! This would be great!!
    Thanks for the chance!

  341. I know delurking for a giveaway is in bad form….and you’d totally understand if you could see me.

    Also? Cracking up that you rocked shapewear all over Blogher. If only you’d added the dog chain necklace…! (Who needs Rachel Zoe? We’ve got BOSSY!)

  350. I need Yummie Tummie, I need Yummie Tummie! Gained 100 lbs. carrying twins last year, and while I’ve lost it my belly has NEVER. LOOKED. WORSE.

  355. Oh, I have been drooling on their website for months now, but just can’t spend that kind of money on me. It would be an early Christmas present for me!

  358. If Bossy and HBM like them, I’m in. Although my guess is that nothing can make my tummy look as good as Bossy’s… sigh…
    And Yummie means I can eat more, right???

  359. I met Heather, who invented and designs Yummie Tummies yesterday and she was wonderful and beautiful and she and her PR people were all wearing them as outerwear, so Bossy should be aware that Bossy was Doing It Right. I’d love to win this gift certificate!

  360. I can read your posts at work, but our firewalls keep me from being about to comment. So glad I remembered to come back tonight to post! My odds aren’t great, but they’re better than if I had forgotten to comment at at! 🙂

  365. Chances aren’t big but i’ll give it a chance. I could use somthing that yummie, I could help spreading the good news overseas and help with the shipping if necessary.

  367. Yah, I could use this. Birthin’ all those babies has left a wee bit of extra skin. Too much information?

  374. My tummy could use something yummy, although that would only further contribute to the need for one of those shapewear items! How about I put something yummy in my tummy AND wear one of these?

  378. I so could have used a yummie tummie when I sqeezed myself into a too small dress this weekend. I wish I saw this post yesterday! I must have checked in too early. Darn having to work at 8.30!

  380. The only time my tummy was ever yummie was when my eggo was preggo, so this would actually help solve a lifelong problem for me. At least until corsets and bustles come back into fashion, which is what I blogged about yesterday, actually.

    Bossy makes me ramble.

  382. Such a cute name, Yummie Tummie. Yeah, my tummie hasn’t looked cute in a very long time. If this would help, I’m all in. Somehow, I don’t think I’ll look as good a Bossy in it, though.

  388. all i hear these days is “oh, i lost ALL of my baby weight in just 7.5 minutes after giving birth.” and i, after 16 MONTHS of my long and arduous labor, still wonder why this baby weight desperately clings to my body begging me to never ever exercise and to not dare put that donut down.

    srsly. send me the dang thing.

  390. I’ve been loving my Spanx, so I’d love to try out a Yummie Tummie. And I think it’s hilarious that you wore yours like a shirt!

  391. Oh Bossy, I can’t believe I didn’t get tickets to BlogHer to meet you! It’s not like I’ll ever travel somewhere to attend, and I’m sure it won’t be back in Chicago for years…

  398. One hundred dollars for a top? Only if I win the contest! This Mummy’s tummy needs a Yummie Tummie as long as (no offense, Bossy) it doesn’t give me pancake boobs!

  403. OK, slooowwwwwly back away from the yumtum.

    that’s good….

    a bit further back…..

    i promise, no one gets hurt if you just hand yumtum to me….

    thank you for your cooperation.

  415. I think it’s very funny that you wore your shapewear as clothing, not UNDER clothing. Only the naturally thin and self confident would do that.

  426. I am a bit conflicted about commenting. I fear if I should win this it might encourage me to put more yummy in my tummie?!

  436. Wait just a darn minute! Bossy wore hers on the outside? She is truly a fashionista and a trend setter.

  438. Oh, pretty please random number generator, pick me! Pick me. I am going to Paris in two weeks and need exactly this tummie yumming. Oh random number generator, I’ll love you forever and give you my third-born.

  440. Oh Please to the third power can I win the Yummie Tummie! I am soooo tired of trying to disguise my middle. After two kids and a lot of wine, snacks and wine…(ok ok throw in vodka, too.).. my tummie looks like it has enjoyed too much yummie….I joined WW today after seeing a recent photo of my back yard….my back yard is big, but I fear my tummie (front yard) is bigger! I’m not sure whose body I’m living in, but it’s NOT mine!

  447. If yummy tummy works I have a ton of menopausal friends that would be so jealous……..and the thought of that makes me wanna
    jump up and down….signed, Lynda Von Keepsemfromfloppen!!
