Ok,  so here is my first unrelated BWP blog, but it is a great story worth sharing:

“Molly is a survivor. This little pony is a Katrina survivor who was rescued from the floods by a kind caring pony lover in New Orleans. Kaye Harris runs a pony rescue in New Orleans and when Katrina hit, she took in as many refugees as she could including some dogs. As her rescued animals were trying to adjust to their new and confusing surroundings the stress was too much for at least one and the result was horrifying. An abandoned pit bull took it’s rage out on poor little Molly, barely any bigger than the dog herself.”

“The dog destroyed Molly’s right front leg so bad that all the tendons and arteries to the hoof were severed. The rest of her lower leg, the canon bone, was also destroyed. Molly did her best to heal. She never even got infected, but the injuries were too extensive to heal completely. A few weeks after the attack, Molly’s hoof died and fell off of her leg. By this time, there were already plans to have it amputated anyway.”

“Two Doctors from LSU were determined to save Molly’s life.  In addition to the amputation of a major portion of Molly’s canon bone, the surgeons also skin grafted over her remaining canon bone where previously the skin had not returned from the injury. It’s all very complicated, but Molly seems to be holding her own. Her cast includes a post that reaches to the ground so if she wants to she can put some weight on her short leg in order to balance or travel. She is using her temporary leg a little bit.”

Kaye is caring for Molly daily and watching over her recovery. Fortunately she was the right horse with the right owner.  Molly happened to be a one in a million patient.   Molly has a job now. . Kay the rescue farm owner started taking molly to shelters, hospitals, nursing homes, and rehabilitation centers.  The little pony that could has become inspiration to so many people.  She survived a hurrican, she survived a horrible injury, and now she’s giving hope to others!

I has been years since have changed my business cards,  When you have something that works, it is hard to break from tradition.  With the launch of my new BWP site which is a clean slick minimalist gallery style,  i figured it was time to have a card reflecting the same look.

You can never really get it all in on one card, but i think i did pretty well.  There are a variety of ethnicities, a classic Harley and a token familiar brand name . . . 

For the last  17 years my trade phrase has been ‘uniquely elegant to outrageously wild’ which i felt really defined what i do. . .  it was however a little wordy and quickly forgotten as everyone these days seems to have A.D.D!  With some professional marketing advice and a little resistance from me,  i changed my theme phrase.  In a moment of inspiration ‘Be sexy, Be seen’ rolled off my tongue which i think is catchy and etches ‘B’ in to your mind with the logo and my name. . . . Branding, Branding, Branding!

Because there are so many small images, I want a really sharp card.  I consistently print with Generation printing.  They print Stochastically at 10 micron which with the naked eye is indistinguishable from continuous tone.  For reference,  most other prints shops print 20 micron and up.  You can order online at www.keeperkard.com

I am willing to bet that these are the most expensive jeans to ever hit the market.  Two custom pairs were produced with details such as emeralds, diamonds and custom bling produced by Bloodline.  There are only two pairs available, so Rush down to Leone’s and make your order,  the ‘gold’ and ‘white’ pair are only a cool $250,000 ea! (yes… 250 thou!)  Check em out at http://www.dussaultapparel.com/250denim/

Brandon was again the poster child for the new clothing line . . . there are so many cool new shirts he had to model this year, i think he was starting to get chaffed from all the clothing changes. . .He just went shirtless at the end!

Heres a fun one we threw in at the end. . . This was Britts’ first time modeling.  I just threw her in the fire and she did pretty well. . .  A little ’stiffness’ came through in her form, but nothing a couple martinis can’t help with for next time!
