refreshing life and living refreshed |
In the beginning of 2009, sitting safely and financially secure in my Minneapolis apartment I made a pact with myself. Get out of this city. Get out and explore something - something somewhere, something anywhere, and do it soon. Soon became Sept 30th, a one-way ticket bound for SFO. Join me as I establish a new life, the next chapter of my San Franciscan life. No job, no apartment, no established network. It’s time to start fresh, new; it’s time to be refreshed with life. |

Getting-By-Gig: Fredericks of Hollywood Grand Opening
In a nutshell… Lingerie looks better (and may sell better) on the mannequins than humans. I’m beginning to think mute visuals sell better than conservatively dressed girls handing out flyers.
What did I do? “Hi, come into Fredericks of Hollywood for happy hour and receive complimentary bootie shorts and cocktails from 5-8 tonight!” One women shot a demeaning stare at the mannequin, preceded by a guy eying the mannequin for his dreams later that night. G-L-A-M-O-R-OUS. Yes, just like Ferggie.
End result? $100 for 3 ½ hrs of handing out flyers. (Again, glamorous.) However, I scored a pack of high-end shampoos and conditions from a grand opening at Pure Essentials which was…purely erotic.
