Send three bona-fide lovers of vintage, rare and collectible stuff
to Popula, and receive free, a very handsome

	or
mousepad		mug

Popula's high-groove membership loves quality of manufacture, art and design, humor and beautiful things that are hard to find. (Did you know that in England, they say "mousemat" instead of "mousepad"? Well, no matter. )

Here's what to do:

1. Press-gang three friends.
Tell them when they register, they have to put your Popula username or email address in the "How Did You Get Here?" box.
(This will help us to determine who sent them along.)

2. E-mail us with the following info:

The email addresses or Popula usernames of your three friends
Your snail mail address -- please don't forget this.
And, in the Subject line of the email, the words

mug, please

or

mousepad, please

Address this communiqué to: editor@popula.com.

Your friends, we feel sure, will thank you. They may not send a free mousepad or mug,
(though, we hasten to add, they might) but they will thank you,
as we do, for turning all the best people on to Popula.

 

By the way, in case you're lacking for inspiration, here's a letter one Populist used to chivvy her friends (names have been changed to protect those involved):

http://pix.popula.com/items/free.html

I am shamelessly asking you each to see the above hyperlink and to register as a Popula.com member. They are a weirdo online auction for bizarro kitsch items. The kinds of things you all really want, or, in Sven's case, probably already have...

http://www.popula.com/categories/current/category_4/   for example, is their designer category. Unfortunately there is not a picture of the 1960s pink pillbox hat listed there, which would be a marvellous addition to Gar's collection of haute chapeaux.

If three of you register, they'll send me a nice mouse pad.

Thank you. Try it, you'll see something you want, and the prices are quite reasonable. And I'll get a mousepad. Before you think, how dare she nag me for this stuff, remember, I've NEVER, EVER sent any of you a chain e-mail with a lot of sucky bits or animated twiddly bits.

Love

Olaf
