lucy the elephant

Tuesday, October 27th, 2009

I’d like you to meet Lucy the elephant… She is a little tourist attraction between OC and AC in Jersey. She used to be a hotel and now she is a museum. I had seen her on t-shirts before, but never understood the story or where she came from. She has definitely had a pretty […]

Thursday, June 18th, 2009

Thanks to Peter Shankman‘s Help a Reporter Out, more commonly known as HARO, I was recently able to help myself out and get in front of a reporter writing a story on girlfriend getaways.

I have an unfortunate update on Stockholm but also some hopeful news about another weekend getaway with my girlfriends. My friend Bryce was able to reach a […]
