Apparently, Lizzie Grubman has decided that the earth’s furnace is suffering from a bad rap, so she’s agreed to handle PR for the Sun. Of course, as you know, face-to-face client meetings are essential in PR. She’s apparently had one too many of them with her new client. Damn, girl. It’s called SPF-30, it’s not expensive!

Dear Mr. Vick: It would have been very simple to write a brief mention of you, noting that I hope you get the book thrown at you, hoping you get abused and beaten in prison, tortured and eventually left to die just like the animals on whom you wagered… But what would that accomplish? Rather, I write this, not so much that I hope you’ll read it, but rather, on the chance that millions of other people will see it, and feel the anger, the absolute rage, the disgust that I share the same title as “human being” with something as foul as yourself. I write this because you’ve failed, Mr. Vick. You’ve failed as a person. You’ve failed as [...]

Will have a long and interesting post about Michael Vick soon, I promise. Back from BlogHer, where I did something amusing on behalf of FlavoRX. Also ate good Sushi and got 2 stays closer to maintaining Platinum status at Starwood for another year. Saw Pamela Parker, met some editors from Wiley, (the ones who published "Can We Do That?!") I talked to them about a possible new book – Will let you know what comes of it. What else… This week finds me in Charlotte for all of Tuesday meeting with "The New Client of Intrigue" – I expect to write up the blog post about them on my flight home Tuesday night – I’m really, really looking forward to [...]

Did Fox News today – Got a call as my plane was landing in Chicago. 40 minutes later, I was at Fox’s Chicago studio, being put into makeup. (which I forgot to wipe off, which made my client burst into hysterics when she saw me.) Piece was on Aquafina having to put verbage on their bottles letting people know that Aquafina is basically just filtered tap water. Which honestly, is fine by me. I love tap water. I drink Aquafina. The point I tried to make was that it’s the psychological thing – too many people think "it comes in a bottle, then it must be better." When in fact, that’s not necessarily the case. Anyhow, clip is below. Fox’s [...]

What was that CBS News Radio 88 slogan many years ago? "Miss a minute, and you miss a lot…" It’s been quite the week so far. In no particular order, I’m going to randomize a bunch of stuff here and try and get everything caught up. Some PR, some industry, some personal, some other stuff… First off – Headed to BlogHER in Chicago Friday and Saturday, for FlavoRX as well as other reasons. You there? Let me know, we’ll hang. The NYC Nautica Triathlon was Sunday, and I did it, finishing in under three hours. 2:55:03, in fact. Not great, but considering it was my first Olympic Distance Triathlon, I’ll take it. Want to see what tired looks like in [...]
