We love branding and marketing, So when were out and about in Los Angeles last week, we delight in discovering new marketing ideas. This one was very special...How do you market a pretzel store...Very creatively, make a dress of pretzels. We absolutely love and appreciate all those people who continue to stray outside the lines and inspire us to new ways of thinking.

Pay It Forward -  At the grocery store checkout

Whenever I'm checking out at the grocery store using the card swiper at Pavillions, they usually have another screen that comes out asking for a donation to a well-known charity.

I almost always decline because this type of thing seems so impersonal to me.  It just seems like it goes out into cyberspace and I don't really know what happens with the money.

Well, for some reason this time I decided to hit the "yes" button and made a small donation to the Muscular Dystrophy Foundation.

I hope my Cyber Dollars have gone to good use!

This past Saturday I was enjoying a lovely day leisurely shopping at Santa Monica's outdoor Third Street Promenade. In between stores doing some window shopping a large group of Zombie's took over my sidewalk. I thought to myself,"OK now what movie is being filmed? and where is the film crew?" I looked all around and did not find one single film crew member, nor camera's.

There was no movie, no Hollywood extra's since this is a group of local Zombies that do public walks. They have public walks all over the world. Watch out for Zombies in your neighborhood. Coming to a town near you! Strange, Kooky, and definately not recommended for the little kiddies. Yikes! Kristine :)
