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?
Leave a comment and let me know  ;)

time to swim with the Sharks?

if you are like me and LOVE abc's entertaining new show about entrepreneurship...let's just jump in the tank!
The casting folks are on their way to Chi-town so can't miss the chance to get up front and personal with them and see if I can get under their clothes (in a manner of speaking..;)
Not sure how it'll all go, but nothing ventured nothing gained, right?
Let's hope they get all excited and just want to take a bite out of THIS! 

I wear my tampon on my leg

it's not IF it will happen...it's WHEN

Got a letter from a gal the other day... on our website.

she said she wanted to explain herself (...not that she needed to!) but she said she had been ordering our products over and over again in the last few months so wanted to share why...

Of course I'd noticed her and appreciated it, but glad she felt like sharing...

ANYway...

she said the reason she kept ordering is that she liked PortaPocket so much she kept coming back to get more pieces to add to her collection. And if she'd known how much she was going to like it at the start, she would've just ordered everything at once.

But she also shared how she found out about us in the first place...

She and her husband and friends were robbed.

At gunpoint.

She said the guy took everything -- credit cards, keys, phones, etc.

It was horrifying and scary but was so glad she was ok...

But, given that experience...at that point she vowed to never ever ever carry ANYthing of value in her purse ever again. So she went looking for an answer on-line. Didn't find what she wanted at Magellan's. Didn't find what she wanted at TravelSmith. Kept looking...looking...looking....and found US!

yay!

I was grateful for her kind words, and glad to be of service.

But it just goes to show....this world is a difficult place right now.

And these kinds of things are bound to keep happening.

Please don't let this kind of thing happen before you think of ways to protect yourself.

After all...it's not a matter of IF....

it's WHEN.
