Hair to the throne

Im a reality TV whore. I love it. I even watch 'Million Dollar Listing' on Bravo featuring Chad Rogers the bullet headed millionaires agent whose comments on the show all seem well rehearsed and oddly composed. Would you let this guy sell your 10 million dollar home? The hair! No matter how many times I see the show, I cant get past the hair!

You think he keeps all his contracts stored up under there for easy access?

Weekend Warriors

Weekend Update

CRay and I Spent Friday night at Barton Creek Resort with about $500 worth of room service, pumpkin enzyme facial masks and in-room movies. We thought, why not...

Met my architect/builder yesterday and planned out the major, no-holes-barred remodel im going to undertake at my new house before I move in. Pemberton Heights will welcome me with open arms after its done.

Met CH and his new beau for dinner and a few laughs before CRay and I hopped over to Cedar Street to catch this band. We screamed "Dont stop Believing" and "Working for the weekend' until our lungs hurt. We then took an anticlimactic walk across the street to Oil Can Harry's and spent about 10 minutes watching the gays stand, model and endlessly search for the greener grass.

Today im making spaghetti and meatballs according to Giada De Laurentiis even though I think she has an annoying personality and the world largest mouth on record.

Conventionally Speaking

As the main point of contact with dozens of media vendors for our political clients, I have been bombarded with invites to the multitudes of over-the-top parties being thrown at both the democratic and republican national conventions. Top of the list is definitely the Google/Vanity Fair party in Denver next week. It’s shaping up to be the celeb filled must-attend event of the convention, even inching out Jennifer Lopez $500-a-head cover party and the always popular Recording Industry Association Of America suare (hosted this year by Kanye West). Needless to say , I’ve become insanely popular among my friends and colleagues who are headed to the conventions.

There definitely seems to be a drastic difference between the events taking place in Denver next week and the events planned for the Republicans in Minneapolis. It’s really no surprise as the Dems typically heap loads of support from Hollywood and the entertainment industry and everyone knows those guys really know how to throw a party. I’m sending my Assistant Media Director to Denver to soak up the atmosphere and report back in full. He shared a portion of his itinerary with me and it definitely looks lush. I’m all kinds of jealous.

I am heading to the Republican convention for some bow-tied Fox hob-nobbing events and to attend the Google party there. Sure the celeb sightings may be limited to Tom Selleck and Bruce Willis, but you know the booze and overwhelming guilt for the last 8 years will make for an interesting evening. Google usually knows how to lighten the mood.

The Republicans nasty not-so-secret: Reports of multitudes of gay escorts descending on Minn/ST. Paul area for the week of the convention. They certainly know where their bread is buttered.

Leaves me wondering…… What Would Jesus Do? hmmmm.

Sly as a Vox

In an effort to further remove ourselves from potentially awkward human interaction, some clever bastard has come up with...

SLYDIAL

Now your phone calls can be delivered directly into someones voicemail without their phone ringing.

Its free...Kinda...you have to call a PA number to access it and listen to an audio commercial before your call goes through.

Evening The Score

My Coal client was recently denied by a small outdoor-focused publication in Asheville North Carolina. “We don’t support the coal-fired energy industry” they claimed, “we won’t run your advertising”. They remained hard lined even after I sent them an email explaining that 80% of Asheville’s electricity comes from Coal-fired power plants. They replied by sending me a photo of a windmill. I didn’t bother with a rebuttal..One windmill will hardly generate enough power to run a hairdryer and besides I'm sure the greater Asheville Tourism Council wouldn’t take kindly to windmill covered mountains as far as the eye could see.

I was surprised to get an email from this publication today offering to “Assist” me in finding other sites in the area for a finder’s fee. They have even changed their mind and agreed to run some limited advertising on their own site. I guess it’s a complete coincidence that they had a change of heart exactly one day after an article ran in their local paper about the millions of dollars in energy advertising that’s being spent in their area for the election and the laundry list of their competitor’s sites that are accepting the ads.

I won’t buy from them out of principle now. I hope the owner stews in his own self righteousness while he watches his friends and neighbors enjoy the hundreds of thousands of dollars in ad revenue he threw away on some false “principle”.

1 Coal
0 Flip-Flopper Environmentalists

Once in a lifetime...OK, maybe twice

As if a week in The Maldives wasn't enough we've stepped it up a notch and planned stopovers in Hong Kong, Shanghai, Bangkok and Sydney. To sweeten the pot even more we'll be travelling across the ocean in Brooke Astor style on Singapore Airlines new Airbus A380 in a first class private suite. Champers anyone?
