Conversation at the Ad firm months earlier….

Mike: Hey Bob any ideas for the new Kindness Hair Oil campaign?

Bob: Yeah I was thinking of bringing in one of the girls from the new Broadway show ‘Cats’ to be the ‘Before’

Mike: Hey that sounds groovy- but be sure she looses the whiskars…whiskars don’t help sell beauty products ya know. You remember what happened on the Vo5 campaign don’t you?

Bob: Yeah that was bad….and oily….

Mike: ..and hot. Okay so you got the Cat girl and what else?

Bob: Uh I don’t know- I guess another hair girl- only we will tame her hair a little…but still really really big

Mike: …and wrap a little around her neck for effect okay? What about the copy Bob? what do you have for that?

Bob: I thought the Cat girl could complain that she doesn’t like the product because it does really great things and the other girl will just be all calm and be all ‘whats wrong with that?’

Mike: Hmmm….interesting.Okay fine, but no smiling. They can’t look happy about using this product…actually they should look a little depressed and uncomfortable.

Bob: Got it. Depressed and serious.

Mike: and uncomfortable…don’t forget that.

Bob: Oh they will be uncomfortable. Trust me on that.

Blogger-mmercial? Pay Per Post

Well, since I need to find away to legitimize this writting thing- I thought I would take a look at websites that pay for you to post about things. I came across Pay Per Post and was intrigued. Basically they list like a hundred different companies/concepts in categories you have pre-selected who will PAY you [...]

Surf Camp….lessons learned for all of us.

Well it sounded like a great idea when I signed the boys up in the middle of winter (ya know when it is like freezing here at 60 degrees), but this week turned out to be more of an emotional challenge for me than a physical one for the boys. And I wasn’t the only [...]

Before and After

Don’t have actual footage of the segment from TV today. I gotta figure that out. Of course you are all invited over to my place to watch on my Tivo thingy if you want. I will provide wine and popcorn! Go ahead and bring the kiddies too- we will make a day of it! (Oh [...]

She’s so Crafty!

Whew! It is OVER. I survived my KDOC TV segment….got there way to early (I have to be JUST like Suzanne in EVERYTHING), and threatened my kids to be quiet like 9 million times while we waited in a conference room about 20 feet from the actual set where the news was being filmed. We [...]

I’m embarassed…and lucky.

I am embarrassed of a few things in my life. I am embarrassed to buy beef jerky since I consider it total man-food. I am embarrassed if my kids fight in the middle of the grocery store over who gets to push the grocery cart. And very often-although not in all circles-I find that am [...]

Oh you gotta read the rest….

I have been tagged by my buddy Nik at Prose and Converse to answer an insane amount of questions about myself. This feels a bit like an e-harmony questionnaire….but forget it all you hot male models out there…I am a happily married woman! But I digress…here it is folks… Five things in my purse: 1. [...]
