50 Good lenses
Giant Squid is awarded if you have fifty good lenses. I got Giant Squid at the end of March 2009, and now I am working towards the next step of Top 100.The deadline is the end of June 2009, so fingers crossed!
Top 100 Club

Gold Star
Lenses by a Giant Squid
Gold stars are added to lenses by a giant squid to show that they come up to the standard of the Giant Squid requirements. All lenses by a giant squid have a gold star.It looks like Gold stars are being withdrawn, with the addition of the new Giant100 badge. A pity - I liked the gold stars!
Purple Star
The best of Squidoo
The Purple stars are awarded for the best lenses on Squidoo. I have been very lucky and gained five My Purple Star lenses

I have five purple stars, the first two were awarded for the lens Longitude on the 1st May 2009 and the lens Madeira on 8th May 2009.-

Working towards the Top 100
I've joined Kab Fab's Squid squad to take part in the Top 100 club challenge. The idea is to produce the most lenses you can that qualify for the Top 100 club before June. The team with the most lenses wins, and each team can select an MVP.Kab Fab's Top 100 team won! We produced a total of 221 lenses for the challenge.
I was also very honoured to get the MVP badge below, as voted for by the Squid Squad!
