    Sentimental Sunday: Will You Google Him?

    Of course Bree Van De Kamp (Marcia Cross) can’t be bothered to go on a date without knowing absolutely everything about this mystery man that randomly came into her life. Are you the same way?

    If you’re a curious cat like me, you’re going to want to know certain details. Like if he’s been married, if he’s still married. The best part is adding guys on Facebook and realizing he’s ‘in a relationship’ with someone else and has pictures of them together all over his profile. Real smooth. Saves me the time of figuring that out over dinner next week!

    I don’t know about you, but I feel like a simple Google check just solidifies a person. Makes him human in a way. If there was absolutely no information on ‘John Smith,’ you might not feel too safe going out with him. Just a thought.

    In Bree’s case, she just wanted to know some dirt. How far are you going to go in your background check? I still don’t know what I want to know yet. Sometimes I want to know everything so there are no surprises and I get exactly what I’m asking for. But other times I wish I didn’t know anything so I could find it out my own way.

    The only real problem I have with Googling a potential date is you’re taking away the job of the Wingman. What’s he supposed to do now if you’re just giving up everything for free on the world wide web? Of course you can’t find everything online, but you’ll get a good chunk. I think men are still just as secretive if not more than ever now and they don’t want to see their girls posting up every picture and checking in to every spot they visit. Is there really something wrong with that?

    No wonder I’m still single. So what about you — would you Google him?

    Do You Do The Royal Wedding?

    It seems like the world is engaged in the climax of all The Royal Wedding excitement! Working in social media, I am almost ALWAYS online, and with one of my biggest projects being the social media for a major Toronto bridal boutique its obvious that my ears and eyes have been open and constantly enthralled in all that is The Royal Wedding.

    With all of my investigative efforts, I’ve had the chance to see so much random things in relation to The Royal Wedding. Like the obvious trinkets found in tourist shops on Oxford Street, ‘Wills & Kate’ paraphernalia defines the theme found EVERYWHERE!!! Google always keeps their page fresh with consistantly new title graphics, the “Google” image above is so awesome, themed ‘The Royal Wedding’ (of course). Below are the top picks of randomness…

    The Papa Johns pizza that I mentioned on my last posting was so cute and so random! Click HERE for the full posting.

     

    At the boutique there is a #FunnyFriday themed trending topic posting each Friday. For Royal Wedding week, the posting was about this t-mobile royal wedding spoof viral of the entire ceremony; the entire royal family busting out in a soul train groove down the aisle! Click HERE for that post.

     

    I thought this mug was so cute & candid, for the haters of The Royal Wedding. lol. We got love for you too!
