Who's Rico???
. I must admit I'm growing attached to Rico. Look at him on the escalator, you just want to befriend him. Rico spent his day at the The Denver Museum of Nature and Science in Colorado with Denver's newest photographer, Charles Brinton. Click on images to enlarge. The Blu team is looking forward to meeting Rico this week. Rico is here to stay.
Kailee's Gossip
. though their performance was adequate their speeches left something to be desired... can you believe the Dixie Chicks swept the Grammy's tonight? They need to hire a publicist and learn stage etiquette. I was very entertained by Mary J. Blige, Gnarls Barkley, "hot" guy Justin Timberlake, Red Hot Chili Peppers, the Police and Stings "muscles", Christina Agiulera, Beyonce, John Legend, John Mayer, Ludacris (with that hot new look) and the James Brown tribute by that unbelievable dancer "Chris Brown"
Valentine's Day Idea #3
. want to spend Valentine's Day snuggled up to your beloved one while watching a romantic chick flick then you must catch the opening of "Music and Lyrics" starring Drew Barrymore and Hugh Grant. After the movies take her out to dinner. This year make reservations at a small ethnic restaurant. Something unique and cultural. An Indian, Thai, Japanese, or Chinese restaurant, a place to experience new foods, flavors and tastes together. And lastly don't forget her present.
.what's hot??? Buying books that are beautiful and unique and lying them around your home. I have found the perfect ones to get you started.
1. Color: messages and meanings by Leatrice Eiseman. The book contains all new material to make effective, unique and credible color choices. These ideas can be applied to many of your projects... branding, packaging, signage, point-of-purchase, displays, advertising, logos, websites and more. Go buy this book now.
2. The Secret Lives of Men and Women compiled by Frank Warren. Warren has selected a never-before-seen collection of postcards bearing the explosive confessions and captivating revelations of men and women everywhere. An example of one "I was so grateful to him for loving me that I lost myself. He's been gone for two year's now and I'm still not back!"
3. The Ultimate Guide to Creative Entertaining by Lara Shriftman and Elizabeth Harrison. Everything you need to know to throw a fabulous party, insider tricks, fashionable tips and clever strategies on choosing a creative theme, finding the perfect location and designing memorable invitations and decoratio. A must-have.
4. New Bars and Restaurants by Cristina Del Valle- Whether classical or modern, experimental or traditional, today's architects are faced with the same challenging task of creating new dining spaces that satisfy the public's revitalized hunger for entertainment. Take a trip around the world and explore the newest dining spaces. This book is the perfect conversation piece.
5. Tease by Sarah Sockit. If you always wondered what you could do with a basic t-shirt, it's time to broadcast your artistic manifesto. In this book 50 superstars take a basic T from ordinary to extraordinary.
6. Alphabet City by Michael De Feo. A genius book. De Feo came to the conclusion that the market was lacking in good art books for children and that's what inspired him to crate one himself. Alphabet City encourages both children and parents to pay attention to their everyday surroundings by placing De Feo's joyful images in the context of art in the streets.
7. Hip Sips by Lucy Brennan. Chill out this summer with some of summer's hottest cocktails.
8. Hoorah For the Bra by Cheree Berry. A perky peek at the history of the brassiere. A fun read that gives a decade-by-decade account of the evolution of that uplifting undergarment, the bra.
9. New Chairs by Mel Byars- A great visual read! New Chairs offers more than 70 examples of contemporary chair designs worldwide, perfect for the postmodern, high-tech, high-concept age.

Are your email issues resolved?
I've sent 3 emails within the past week and have not gotten any response. Is there an alternate email address I should use?
Thank.
