How Embarrassing





Have you ever been absolutely mortified in a swimsuit? Do you have a horrifying memory that you thought you'd never have to speak of again? Is there a story that makes your cheeks turn pink while you go over it in your head? 

If you answered yes then today is your lucky day (so you should probably go buy yourself a lottery ticket). We have decided that karma is on your side today and you deserve something special for this hair-raising, gasp-worthy, face-scrunching moment. All you have to do is share it. 

Describe this moment to us. We know you are thinking: 'Why would I want to relive that mortifying day? Why would I tell people on Facebook about that particular thing? What is in it for me?'

Well, we'll tell you. 

You could win a swimsuit that will ensure nothing like that will ever happen again! A swimsuit, for you and a swimsuit for your friend - to save your girlfriend from that very same situation. To the value of whatever you want!

If you like, you and your friend can come in to the store (if you're not overseas or interstate) and get personally fitted Sue Rice herself! Now that's special!

You can share your story anyway you like: You can write about it, you can send in a photo, a video, a drawing - anything you can think of! As long as you can put it on our Facebook page we don't mind!

To win: Simply get the most ‘Likes’! We’ll make your entry an image in our photo album ‘How Embarrassing’ and then the top 5 entries will go to our design house. From there the Sue Rice girls will choose their favourite and we’ll announce the winner on Facebook!

The competition closes on the 31st of July at 10.00pm. 

So ladies, dig up those memories, don't spare the detail and share your story with the world!
