Curvy Chics Gets Purple Star
March 4, 2010 | Leave a Comment
Ever since the Purple Star was instituted at Squidoo I’ve been hoping that my Curvy Chics lens would get picked. Today the wish came true!
The Curvy Chics lens is kind of an index for other lenses. It gives brief intros on some of my favorite curvy chics and then leads readers to larger lenses on [...]

Double Stars

Two of my older lenses were awarded purple stars this week. The first is kind of a strange lens. I can’t remember why I made it in the first place and it wasn’t incredibly popular until the beginning of this year. I’m talking about the Megan Fox Tattoo lens. It’s a basic lens with very [...]

When I was done I decided to make a Squidoo lens reviewing each book followed by [...]

The Squidoo Team awarded me a second purple star this past week. This time it was for my lens that followed my Lasik eye surgery experience from start to finish.
I’m so glad I decided to start this lens before I even went under the laser. Reading over it now, I wrote things I never would [...]

Over at Squidoo they have instituted a purple star award for exceptional lenses from Giant Squid lensmakers. They describe lenses given a purple star as “one of the most remarkable pages on the entire site”.

As of October 6, 2008 I joined the I joined the Giant Squid Top 100 Club. I remember back in the day (a few months before this) that I was working hard on my 50 lenses to become a Giant Squid. I never thought I’d make it this far but I did. Next goal. 200!”
