happy Mardi Gras!
So if I was in NOLA it would be a little more exciting, for sure, but hope you all are having a terrific Fat Tuesday wherever you are :-)
Definitely an eventful week...the V in my Valentine's day unfortunately stood for VIRUS, so I was stuck in the quarantine lab getting my computer cleaned out & getting put back together. Would be so much nicer to think that humanoids on this planet spent their time in putting their minds to positive & productive tasks rather than creating insidious little parasites meant to wreak havoc on others. ahhh, the grand tapestry of life....good, bad and ugly...inclusive to all ...(but let's please go light on those latter too, okay?)...
On a brighter note, love to say we've been "Diva-Approved" as a really cool Bachelorette party gift item, so come check it out at http://www.theshowerdiva.com/divaapproved/giftideas-bachelorette.html
AND also in celebration mode, we've finally installed our product line up on AMAZON!
So if you want to jump on our PortaPocket bandwagon while shopping for a host of other cool things, perhaps that's the way to go:

OK! on that note...I'm gonna go watch some more Olympics... ;-) GO USA!!

Hope you all enjoyed your Thanksgiving :-)
Now it's time to gear up for Xmas, etc...
Of course in this kind of economy with increasing thefts, you know just the right place to get a really cool, useful and inexpensive holiday gift in the next few weeks, right?
Keep your stuff ON yourself and don't be a victim! ;-)

twitter rocks x2 as PortaPocket heads to Vegas!
Been twittering all over the place and meeting some terrific people, including my new friend Jessica with a cool scented wipe for your cell phones & other electronics called Celly Smellys (www.cellysmellys.com). We're meeting up in Las Vegas to visit some trade shows, audition for Pitchmen (on the Discovery channel) and talk business while we're at it!! Very exciting... will report all the scoop when we get back from Sin City (no sinning here though...just squeaky clean stuff...natch) ;-)

twitter rocks as PortaPocket invades Australia!
OK..."invades" might be a strong word....but man, have I been LAX (...and I don't mean the airport in CA...)! hmph. been a long time since I wrote in here, so sorry. Bad girl. Too much tweeting. But that's really a GOOD thing! I've met some terrific and fun people from all over the globe ...chatting away. Just sent off my 1st package to Australia to my new friend @ferrous....love her. I feel so multi-continental now! :)
Amazing how many people are tweeting about problem situations they're having...
just do a search for "lost wallet" "lost keys" "no pockets" "put in bra" etc. etc. and see what you get! I daresay there's dozens of disgruntled tweets a day and that's just those who are talking about it...I'm sure there are many others with the same issues that don't bother... So there you have it... It's not just me who's basically saying there's a HUGE need for a way for people to solve these kinds of problems...and I plan to be right there with my PortaPocket cases to help people do just that. :)
