Filed under Small business marketing

Just moments after Los Angeles Angels triggered their jump, shout, Naughty Monkey Rally in the indicator, they erased a late deficit and saved their season. Without doubt, Monkey Business is a mere coincidence. It’s just a marketing gimmick, a video star and a bear – right? No fans who saw the night of Thursday improbability of a game championship series. Not the Yankees, who were three tickets tickets to the World Series against the Angels snatched the win with a 7-6 win that cut edge back fr

#140tc LA Twitter Conference 2009 was a spectacular event. I barely slept the night before in excitement to meet so many new people. I met so many beautiful, intelligent, business savvy people. I wasn’t surprised in any way because I knew that the Twitterverse is full of people like this. In order to avoid major LA traffic, I left my house super early and was the first one to arrive at the event (even before the event coordinators! ) I decided to take a few pre-shots before the rush of peopl

Filed under Small business marketing

Recently, we were invited to a friend’s surprise party at the Black Bass Inn in Pennsylvania, and decided to fly up just for the night.

In fact, it was so hard to find their phone number, I wondered if maybe they had banned telephones as a nod to historic accuracy. The invitation instructed us to visit www.blackbassinn.com, which actually takes you to a porn

Filed under Small business marketing

French cosmetic firm Bourjois has been a mainstay for savvy beauty consumers, and for the lucky women of France since the 19th century. Paris was a raucous place in the 1800s, with fashion, music and theatre scandalizing polite society with its outré behaviour. Respectable ladies did not wear make-up, wanting to distance themselves from the actresses and ladies of the night who embraced enhancing their natural beauty with cosmetics. But ladies secretly used beetroot or strawberry juice to

Haha. I’m not entirely sure why I’m blogging at 4.15am in the morning.. I think it’s because I’ve turned nocturnal, sleeping in the afternoons, and staying awake during entire nights. Hmmm. because I’ve got peace and quiet in the middle of the night. I can sleep in the midst of noise, but I can’t study with noise. Hehe. And I’m hungry. :-( I ought to sleep soon, before my parents wake up and discover I’ve not slept yet. Hahaha, that was the nice part of them being away for 5 weeks, I did eve
