Here’s a fun post for today that might start with the quote from Body Heat, “I’ll talk to you if you don’t talk about the heat.” (Hopefully that’s close.)

While that’s a favorite saying around our house here in Las Vegas, it still doesn’t prevent me from wearing my most favorite of all things… demin.

I live and breathe demin jeans. So this morning when I can across the Armani Exchange website, I had the opportunity to play around and create my own style (my other passions are tee shirts and handbags) which I’ll show you below. Keep in mind we’re not talking off the rack. Armani Exchange has “New Premium Denim starting at $98″ – yes Armani

I had to start, of course, with their J57 grey straight leg jeans. I choose grey, but they also have J57 in potassium straight leg. I considered the J11 Indigo Destruction Skinny Leg as a third potential, but I really prefer low rise jeans. They just fit better and look better on me.

I then was able to move into the “dressing room” and start putting shirts with jeans (or you can pick shorts, skirts, whatever), and adding accessories. I finally settled for a cool handbag (reference my passion above lol!).

Here’s the final result which should give you a fairly good idea about what I truly enjoy wearing. Give me a great pair of jeans that look cool, throw in an amazing top, and round it off with a stunning – very summer-like – handbag and voila!

Then I did some more digging around on their web site and discovered Armani is giving away a pair of demin every day throughout July. All you need to do is text A|X. Enter the keyword “DENIM2″ to ARMANI (276264). It’s that easy.

In fact, after visiting and putting together your ideal outfit or just purchasing a full price pair of denim from Armani Exchange, in store or online, between 7/7/09 – 7/19/09, and you will receive a gift card for $20 off your next purchase of $100 or more. And that gift card is valid from 7/30/09 through 8/15/09. Nice!

Let’s face it who wouldn’t want to wear Armani if the price is right. Street-chic, casual, sophisticated and affordable.

If ever there is a Gold Medal for blogging, Linda Rembowski of Forcedgreen would win hands down!

The August 16th edition of the WebProNews includes a quick (I don’t know what to call it… article? post? tidbit?) of information from their staff writer, David A. Utter. He writes:

The popularity contest of blogging and gaining links and traffic doesn’t happen overnight. It takes time and work.

And, of course, he’s not far off the mark. However, today we’ve got the great pleasure of taking our Sunday Fun Day to tell you about the huge success of (more…)

Very late last night I received an email over at My Wizard Ads from a gentleman wanting to know if he was wasting his time online. He wasn’t questioning the MWA services, but his whole perception on trying to make money online in general.

Of course I emailed him back and forth several times. I’m afraid I climbed on my soapbox and did my thing (which he did appreciate). The crux of the making-money dilemma is something I will cover in the next post (I promise!) and present solutions to that problem.

In the meantime though, I want to take a moment and show you a shortcut to making money – under your own steam, without relying on anyone or anything else online.

After proving to ourselves, for ourselves, that a person can make money writing online, I set off on a journey to uncover a resource that could shave years off the learning curve. A way to step up to the plate much faster in the field of writing – any kind of writing - online.

With income potentials of $85,000 or more per year, this is hardly something you will want to poo-poo out of turn without researching!

I’m happy to report I found such a resource – and  (more…)

NOTE: Before you get going, the title of this post is “secrets” not “methods.” People come up with all sorts of new ways of doing things, and open all sorts of new social media areas, and we give credit where credit is do. But they aren’t “secrets.”

For years, and I do mean years, we’ve been online explaining, demonstrating, and, in many instances, doing the hands-on work to help you be successful online.

And, throughout these years, we – like you – have been (and continue to be) inundated with special reports, new software, e-books, videos and more all ranting and raving how this is “the one.”

Rarely is anything “new.”

Let me explain by example before I continue:

Ten years ago, a script was developed that (more…)
