Walking down the street with a leg in my hand


Sometimes inspiration comes in strange places. When I finished my audition in Chicago for Shark Tank on May 11, I left the hotel to walk 2 blocks to the garage. Which took me one hour. Why? Because I kept getting stopped by people on the street. It's not everyday you see someone walking around with an extra leg ... it really IS a conversation piece!


Driving home I had a realization. This was something I should tap into! After all... the leg is otherwise just sitting in my basement, waiting for the next Show. So that's it. I decided. I'm just going to carry the leg around. Just because. 


And if I'm just going to carry the leg around, I might as well take some pictures of it. Doing wacky things. Like going to the dentist. And taking a shower. Or whatever. So I created a new storyline on my facebook page that's all about the leg. And how it starts out as an ankle. And then grows up. But of course!:


MOVE OVER ANGELINA...THIS LEG HAS A LIFE ALL HER OWN!

So what do YOU think the leg should do next?

  1. Dangling from a car trunk. Perched on a climbing rock. (Not sure how to attach it.) Standing next to a No Hitchhiking sign. In a department store, wedged between a mannequin's legs. That's all I can think of now.

  3. In my mind, I keep seeing you & the leg shopping...running errands, going to the bank,getting coffee. While you grab money from her PortaPocket you strike up conversations with grocery store clerks, barristas & farmers market produce growers. Im imagining she has different outfits- rainbow socks. neon fur rave warmers. fish nets.LOL.

  5. Great idea! Love the creative inspiration! Have lots of fun... you and the leg... climbing, jumping, dancing, prancing, walking, running, wherever you go... and definitely dress for the occasion. ;-)

  7. 1) laying on a massage table at a spa with toes or foot being massaged 2) from home, watching a movie--not just any movie, but choice of any Fred Astaire/Ginger Rogers movie, or Footloose (sp?) 3) at a dance club (during open hours so there's other dancing in background. Shot taken from laying on the floor with your leg wearing a very sexy high heel, perhaps a male volunteer's foot right next to it suggesting he's the dance partner 4) photoshop a pic from Dancing with the Stars with your leg dancing with any of the more popular male pro's (Maks, Derrick or Mark). Often at the end of a dance, the male dancer ends up on the floor so that might be a good one to choose to cut out the female celeb and replace with the leg. 5) another photoshop opp, sitting in the chair being interviewed by David Letterman (or any late night host) 6) Another photoshop job-- the leg on front cover of Oprah Magazine. 7) contestant on Jeopardy 8) with sports sock and running shoe, competing in marathon.

  8. Great, fun ideas! And I love that this initial idea came about as you were simply carrying your prop down the street after your Shark Tank audition! Inspiring. Best wishes! Your product is a great idea too!
