Friday Question #148

Thanks for all of your sweet comments on my post this Wednesday! I felt much better after reading them, knowing many of you could relate.
If you could be sponsored for any activity of your choosing, which activity would you choose, and who would you choose as your sponsors?
From here
Seriously, how cool would it be to be sponsored for doing something you love? Any activity! Athletics, arts, working on cars, reading… sleeping… ha.
I would love to be a sponsored runner. Sign me up with Asics or Brooks, Under Armour, Sony, Gu, yeah, that would be awesome!
Okay, they probably wouldn’t want me, so I showed some of my other favorite places on my sponsor jacket just in case. Hmm, looks a bit tacky… ha ha!
Themocracy
I would love to sponsored by GU or Brooks or anyplace really! i would love to be sponsored to run or ski.
That baby pictures makes me laugh!
Gosh, that is a really good question. I would LOVE to be sponsored in running, because I enjoy it the most. And I was just thinking the other day that I wish Larabar would just send me a lifetime supply of bars. I LOVE them, but don’t buy them often because they are $$! So definitely Larabar, and maybe Lululemon!!!
…Can we be sponsored by the falafel place in Chicago?
I’ve also joked that I want to be sponsored by Snickers.
Ha. I should just be sponsored by falafel and other foods. Snickers is a good one 😉
OH yeah I would love to be sponsored by a shoe company. Right now I have Brooks on. If Brooks would like to make me their advertising beyotch I’ll be all for it!
Probably running… or bowling (if they would pay for my league fees and motivate me to join one).
I am not sure if I knew you liked to bowl or not! We do too!
I love your “sponsorship jacket” 🙂
I think being a sponsored runner might be stressful, but if someone wanted to sponsor me just to work out in general I’d be down with that.
I want to be sponsered by Nike for stair-running. I used to be really obsessed with stair races. The American Lung Association flew me down to Miami a few years ago to represent them at a race. It was awesome! Free flight and hotel and all I had to do was run up a building.
Why don’t you do them anymore?
And thanks about the question 😉
BTW, totally awesome question! Very original…
ahhaha, I love that picture! ALDI should totally sponsor you! Manny will sponsor you. He will pay you in crunchy treats. I would love to be sponsored in blogging and social networking. : )
Yay! Manny! Is his logo just his face or is it something else?
Man, it would be SO COOL if Brooks or Nike would sponsor my turtle-ness. I don’t see it happening any time soon though. But it would be AWESOME.
You are too cute in your ‘sponsor jacket’!
I’ve never thought about it because I’m sure nobody wants an over the hill hag like me. I know! Maybe The Bake Boss would sponsor me! <3 <3
I would love to be sponsored to go around and collect oral histories of people. I don’t think enough people have a platform to tell their stories. (Not everyone blogs, right? Heh.)
That’s so funny – a friend and I often say that we are “sponsored” by Patagonia because we buy their products and very much enjoy wearing them. One time I said to someone else (very outdoorsy person) that I was sponsored by Patagonia and he said “REALLY?!” in an excited and surprised tone. I then had to explain what I meant by “sponsored”.
Ha ha! I am going to start saying that 😉
aldi! nice!!
Didn’t even notice your sponsor jacket(at first). Couldn’t get past the GREAT smile!!! I love that picture of you. You “shine”. 😀
Thanks Denise 🙂
Haha love the jacket. 🙂 I love Brooks for shoes and Nike for running clothes….I one heard that Kara Goucher gets boxes of Nike gear sent to her every season…count me in!
Any activity?? Hmmm…yeah, running’s a good one. Yoga too. Definitely watching television and surfing the internet. I would really like to get paid to do that.
If I could be sponsored for anything?? Reading, horseback riding, eating, blogging, or running. 🙂 That would be a dream come true. Haha.
I think it looks good.
I’d love to be sponsored to run. Got to figure I am out there forever so more time for my fans to see me. Those elite guys are done so quick and disappear, I’d be on camera forever. Brooks would be a great sponsor and my favourite socks are Drymax who sponsored my Badwater runner one year (thanks to me I should add). Guess I’ve got freebies from both but that is not sponsorship 🙁
I love how one of your “sponsors” on your coat is Red Robin.
As for what I would love to be sponsored for, it would be one of my Snowy or Scooter Sunday videos. That would be cool and could get help in my motivation to make more videos on the regular basis.
