.the story goes like this. Blu had a self-portrait contest. I was the judge and picked this sexy boy named "Eric" below as the winner. Lo and behold he claims his prize and tells me he is from Colorado! Unfortunately I can't pursue my professional clients or he would be my new boyfriend. Today project director, Aundrea just picked up the latest copy of 5280 (a very hot Denver magazine) because her hot, sexy girlfriend Renee Herlocker just made the cover as Denver's Sexiest Single and GUESS WHO is the sexiest single male in Colorado? Yes the famous sexy guy "Eric Laurits" Okay so I need to write the editors because you all have to agree that this photo of Eric below is way sexier! And you all remember Herlocker's photo shoot last year for our WPPI campaign by the famous www.jvsimages.com. So congrats to the both of them.
.I spent the weekend in Park City, Utah at the Sundance Film Festival. Parties, celebrities, snowboarding and lots of cute boys! My favorite celebrity sighting - Sean Combs, Sienna Miller & Justin Timberlake. The must-have drink at the Sundance - " The Sundance Drink" To shake one up at home, combine 1½ oz. of Cointreau with 1½ oz. Mount Gay rum, 1¼ oz. lime juice, ¼ oz. lemon juice and 1 oz. sugar syrup. Shake with ice and strain into a martini glass. The hot party- MySpaces shindig at Tao. What was hot? The just released Blackberry Pearl that now comes in a glossy white finish. Top prizes went to two films, 'Padre Nuestro' and 'Manda Bala'. 'Padre Nuestro' tells of an illegal immigrant from Mexico looking for his father in New York City. 'Manda Bala' is a film which looks at crime and corruption in Brazil.

.do you love when you discover a new cocktail? My new drink is made of 1.5 ounces of Absolute Ruby Red Vodka and 4 ounces of grapefruit juice. Pour on ice and garnish it with a fresh piece of grapefruit.
.i always wondered if someone would make a baby bib in black? If you are looking for cool punk/rockabilly outfits and accessories for babies and kids check out www.kulturevulture.com
.did you know that ball wall squats not only strengthen your legs but they firm your booty. Try doing 3 sets of 30 reps this week. Stand a few feet away from the wall, and tuck a stability ball between your back and the wall. Slowly squat down until your thighs are par rel to the floor.
Super Bowl XLI is only 7 days away. The showdown between the Indianapolis Colts and the Chicago Bears.
.did you know that the Chicago Bears have no cheerleaders in their organization. The Indianapolis Colts will bring 31 beauties to Miami.
.did you know that Colt's quarterback, Peyton Manning is 6 feet 5 inches tall and 230 pounds. At 30-years-old he has 9 years of experience in the NFL. Peyton Williams Manning was born March 24, 1976, in New Orleans, Louisiana. At the time of his birth, Peyton's father, Archie, was a star quarterback for the woeful New Orleans Saints.
.chicago bear's quarterback Rex Grossman is 6 feet one inches and 217 pounds. At 25 years-old he has 4 years experience in the NFL. Grossman was born August 23rd, 1980 in Bloomington, Indiana. Grossman's father and grandfather, Rex, both played football at Indiana University.
.my prediction- Peyton Manning is only one game away from his first Super Bowl win.
. i am a big fan of sleek design and practical functionality. Your child will enjoy this multi-stage Scandinavian-designed chair. Lots and lots of fun stuff at www.egiggle.com

.a few things on my wish list for Spring. I must have a super-soft white rug, a clear crystal lamp, and a white resin Buddha. In Buddhist symbolism the color white denotes rest and thinking.
.a revolutionary avalance beacon by Mammut Barryvox. An avalanche transponder that not only transmits a signal to the location of a buried individual but also displays pulse and respiratory data about the victim. www.mammut.ch
.did you know that you're not getting older, you're getting happier. Joy tends to increase with each passing year.
