Are you thinking what I’m thinking?
Does anyone have a line to the Converse people?
We’re looking for sponsorships/modeling gigs for Patrice, Justin, Harry. And Jake, since he’s heard my Ari Gold impression. (Actually everyone on the team could use sponsorships, but I can’t speak for the ones who haven’t asked.) The team management is lining up clothing sponsors for next year, but according to Justin individual players may sign with other brands as long as they don’t wear the clothes (or logos) during matches.
Yesterday I was talking to the Rimowa people (I love Rimowa and look down on other luggage) and I said, “If the polycarbonate luggage is so invincible you should get some rugby players to sit on it.” And they said, “Hmm, there’s an idea.”
Ideas! We need ideas! And useful contacts. Look, they’re going to get “mainstreamed” soon enough, so Letts reduce the yucch factor (for ourselves) and help smooth their introduction to the mass market. I am Ari on this one. They get bupkes, that’s not right. Be a mensch, help.

NOOOO!!! How can I wean myself off L’enfant Géant Adorable if everything reminds us of him???
This morning I whipped up a home-made Milo Mcflurry — blenderized vanilla icecream with chockful of Milo + dark chocolate bits. While consuming this I was thinking of ways to stalk my sunshine all the way to Bezier. Will he be watching the 2011 world rugby cup in Auckland?
Tell him someone cares, this side of the globe :)

Are you also thinking of that last caller who’s complaining to DSL tech support because her email’s upside down? Wahaha, I love this. Where were these pictures taken, Madame? Meron kayang size 2 nito? Petite kasi ako eh. Wahaha!

that picture of patrice reading cat in the hat can already be used for advertising these shoes..
echoing momelia.. san po ang mga sapatos na ito? will they be in our friendly neighborhood malls?

Momelia and oriames: I saw the shoes yesterday at the Converse store in Greenbelt 5. They’re probably available wherever you are.

I am wrecking my brains for ideas and contacts for our beloved rugby guys. Who, who, who can sponsor them and how???

Bench Body ( or Hanes etc.) should get the team for their ad campaign. I remembered last year or two years ago, Dolce & Gabbana got the Italian rugby team to do their underwear ads. Those posters were all over Milan–billboards,bus stops,trams and even in the Metro. Pwede din naman gawin yan dito di ba? I-feature sila dun sa malaking billboard along EDSA sa Guadalupe. Magandang introduction yun sa masa, dadami pa ang supporters nila.
