Katrina Anniversary
And even though I have mentioned it before, if you are interested in supporting Global Green but are the type that likes to 'show' your support, you might consider purchasing one of the Respect your Mother tees. I personally own one and the material rocks. Click here for info

No Shop
New Nordstrom will complete "Fashion Row"
By Suzanne S. Brown Denver Post Staff Writer
Cherry Creek has long been the epicenter of high fashion in Denver, with boutiques and specialty retailers stocking the latest fashions with four-figure price tags.
When Nordstrom opens its third Colorado store Oct. 19, luxury shoppers will have even more choices, as the Seattle-based retailer will carry clothes and accessories from top American and European designers.
Burberry Prorsum, Marchesa, Michael Kors, Versace and Zac Posen are among the designers whose collections will be featured in the new 138,000- square-foot store, according to a news release issued Monday by the company. In the category of emerging labels, Helmut Lang, 3.1 Philip Lim, Rag & Bone and Tory Buch, among others, will be showcased in the "via C" department.
Nordstrom is known for its shoes, and the Cherry Creek store will carry such brands as Manolo Blahnik, Marni, Chloe and Yves Saint Laurent. Shoppers will find such labels as Burberry, Marc Jacobs and Valentino in the handbag department.
"Nordstrom will cement First Avenue as Fashion Row in this region," says Mary Beth Jenkins, president of Laramie Co., a commercial retail real estate brokerage and consulting company.
Jenkins says the store's offerings will complement Saks Fifth Avenue, Neiman Marcus and Macy's rather than take business away from them. "What's different about Nordstrom is that while they have designer merchandise, they'll carry different assortments, and they also draw more mainstream customers."
She also sees shoppers visiting other stores in the mall if Nordstrom doesn't have what they want. "They'll bring in a new customer, but if she doesn't find her size or what she wants, she'll go to the other stores," Jenkins says.
Nordstrom will feature many of the designers' fall collections in a tented runway fashion show at the store Oct. 17. Tickets to the show and gala are $125. The event, which is being underwritten by Nordstrom, is expected to raise $225,000 for two charities, the American Transplant Foundation and Beacon Center. For tickets, call 303-761-6756, ext. 24.
Here is the comment - What I love about Nordy's is their huge selection of Merrell's...they have a better selection than REI!

Naughty Pierre
I would soon learn this crazy man was Naughty Pierre aka Jefferson Arca . He is the brainchild of the Naughty Burlesque & Comedy Extravaganza in Denver at Lannies - click here for more info.
I can speak for everyone when I say had us rolling, crying I think there was even some snorting. Whether in character as Naughty Pierre, with his George Bush puppet or the remote live chat with one of the directors of the most terrible (imo) short, we were dying. Any more description than that just won't do NP justice.
Go down and check it out.

King Lines Hits Boulder
Beasties Rock Denver
The show had a mandatory dress code since footage would be used an upcoming vid. I love the BBs, have seen them numerous times and unfortunately couldn't make this show. Since most of my friends rock and are always looking out for my back, I was sitting at the Kitchen Upstairs (where I spend way too much $$) kicking back cocktails when this popped onto my phone....
Hope it works, I am no techie!
Air Guitar Madness
Seems the '07 Championships took place in Manhattan last weekend. I wonder how Bjorn Toroque fared this year? Here's a photo from the event just cuz.

campaign. Look, I am all for educating people and there is certainly a trickle down effect. The website does link to a number of interesting articles on the topic but after all is said and done I would encourage you to skip the Naglene and purchase a Sigg or other stainless steel water bottle. There are so many studies floating around that touch on the dangers of plastic.
Plus the Sigg bottles are far more aesthetically pleasing.

L v T - do you know the difference
I had to go online to see if the cars had similar bodies or if I am a big dummie. I am not that into cars anyways.
Here are two pics - take a look for yourself. After the whole thing my conclusion, I will pass on both take a gullwing or something from that era. And if you don't know what a GW is well than you are missing out.

Tax Dollars at Work

Second Rotation
Ship your unwanted and unused electronics to Second Rotation for cash back....I guess its a good idea.???
Too bad they aren't doing any carbon offsetting for all the shipping to MA and too bad they are using crappy DHL.
Simpler, more Eco option - take your old items to your local Goodwill and then do the tax write off.

It didn't work last time or the time before that
This seems to be the credo of the bigwigs at GAP and their agency which I will leave nameless. Once again GAP is teaming with Annie Leibovitz to create an ad campaign of celebrities in their clothes.
Hello, you've been down this road and your sales continue to drop?? How much money did you blow on the agency, photographer, celebs, ad space, etc, etc. How can they honestly think this time its gonna take?
How about realizing that people bypass the GAP and head to Old Navy for virtually the same items but significantly less expensive along with a slew of other reasons.
And here's a photo from the last blitz since it probably wasn't that memorable either....
