36 hours in Frankfurt
I had an eventful week! On Monday night, I flew to Frankfurt to attend a beauty workshop for P&G and Wella for an international brainstorm. Sali came from London, Donald came from Hong Kong and I came from New York to discuss various trends in hair, beauty in our local markets.
It was a full day of beauty pow wows with STURM und DRANG, a German-based research institute and strategic consultancy!
Here I am with the crew

Kanye was right! I found a lot of mayonnaise color benz… aka miracle whips! They are the TAXIS!

“I am thrilled and honored to host the MuchMusic Video Awards” said Selena Gomez. “I look forward to seeing all my Canadian fans and kicking off the summer together.”
And we are so excited to have her! She’s cute and talented & she clearly likes products of Ontario. lol.
I’ve personally been a fan of Selena Gomez since her first season on Wizards of Waverly Place, I know a few little ones who love her too. But as time goes by, people grow, and Selena has become this gorgeous woman. At age 18 she’s seen with our National heartthrob J. Bieber, A-listed with Hollywood’s best & focused on her solo recording career set to tour later this year. Starring in her 5th season of the popular Disney show, Wizards of Waverly Place, we can catch her next on July 1st in the Fox feature film ‘Monte Carlo’, co-starring Leighton Meester & Katie Cassidy.
Selena and previously announced performer… LADY GAGA are the only two official celebrity appearances announced by MuchMusic with more news to come in the weeks ahead. The city is warming up and the buzz of the 2011 MMVA’s is getting louder!!! Follow the countdown to the MMVA’s on muchmusic.com or on twitter @muchmusic.

(NY) Charmin Po(o)p Up Store!
I went by 42nd street today for a meeting and I came outside to this! The Charmin Pop Up Toilets! The cold weather always makes me want go to pee to I had to go check it out. Each mini toilet was equipped with 3 kinds of TP for your pleasure. I use the Ultra soft at home so I tried to Ultra Strong to see what that was all about.
The Charmin Toilet Photo Op!
All the restrooms available for useI love pop up stores! I also love experiential marketing. I had a good chat with the reps Larry, Kevin and Donny. Outgoing, friendly and super helpful. Donny offered to pose with me! Prom time lol – It’s a giant toilet! So fun – The outside is gold, there a 2-step thing to climb up to the ‘throne’. To make you laugh, the reps say.. come on, let it all out >_< ew.
There is even stroller parking… You know, for all the moms… 🙂
Ha ha ha! For more, follow them on Twitter @EnjoyTheGo: Dedicated to making going to the bathroom more enjoyable. We all go. Those who go with Charmin, really Enjoy the Go.This is a classic case of a huge company with a huge budget and huge idea trying to make use of ‘social media’. How come you have 160 Twitter followers only? Sometimes Social Media needs to be prompted and steered. Not once when I was in there did anyone ask me if I was on Twitter or if I wanted to share my photo on Facebook. SMH. If you gave me that kinda marketing budget, I wouldn’t use it to wipe my butt…*HeyDoYou is for the cute, clever and connected*
