His skin was pale and his eye was odd…

Words can’t even begin to express how excited I am for this Sweeney Todd.
It was the first Broadway show my parents ever took me to see, and started my love of musical theatre. In fact, during the intermission, some old woman turned to my mother and said, "Do you think someone of his age (pointing […]



Tuesday morning FREE STUFF TO GIVE AWAY edition!!

So the people at Zibra read my book and got in touch with me. They were so cool, in fact, that they sent me three of the greatest gifts known to man.
Honestly, this is something I never knew I needed, until I got it. Now I can’t live without it.
It’s a pair of scissors, I […]



Those French… Now THEY know how to Taser!

Remember almost a year ago how I got tasered? Well, in France, they’re all about that fun little burst of electricity..
Seriously.



Thanks.

To my family, to my friends, to the psychotic love of my life, to those with whom I’ve become closer, to my clients, readers, detractors, amused bystanders, those waiting to see if I do something stupid, to my enemies, to my enemies who have become friends, to those we’ve lost, to those […]



Why it’s nice to be proven right: Today’s short story.

Thought I’d share this New York Times blog this morning from a reporter, Marci Alboher. She’s a reporter for the times, and also writes a blog called "Shifting Careers." In this particular edition, she talks about how people can create their personal brand.
I bring this up because, as a non-traditional PR person, I tend […]



Issue a Release, Have Sex with a Dog, Call a Reporter, Fornicate with a 12-year-old…

NSFW warning for wording.
Some things don’t mix.
Lemonade and Tuna fish. Yeah, more than one person in my office today agrees that no, those two don’t mix.
I’d also add that bestiality and PR don’t mix. Neither do sex with underage children and press releases.
Why do I bring up this lovely topic on a random Thursday?
A few […]



Facebook - Open Environment, remember?

Fun story here of a banking intern who had to head home for a family "emergency," until he posted photos of himself at a Halloween party on Facebook. Boss saw it, copied entire office.
Kid becomes dumbass.
Is it so hard to realize that lying, now more than ever, should be restricted to people who are really, […]



Monday Morning Coffee…

And it’s back to Monday again…
Last week found me in Denver for Disaboom, then drinking several bloody marys while waiting for my delayed flight home. While waiting, I had time to think and write my latest blog post for the NY Sun, specifically on how not to gain weight this holiday season.
Read a very interesting […]



In the Which One Is Not Like The Others Department

Thanks to AL for the link.
Which one is not like the other?



Did Fox on Monday…

And forgot to upload the video.
Talked about Oprah and her press conference - which, in my opinion, is textbook on how to handle crisis management. Bravo for her.
