Publicity and the Princess again

Here's the pic from The Wellingtonian out today, by Lucy Mitchell.

It's me pretending to do sign language and smile...despite not knowing any sign (shame!) and feeling silly because I was faking it for the camera. What'd someone call me last year ? Hmmm.

The article mis-spells Sara's name and colours in outside the lines a tiny bit, but the publicity's great, so I let that go. Yes Adele - I let that go.

But Hey - what about last Night ?

The opening at deNada was a real blast last night!

It's such a cool store and a great location. The art looked amazing on red walls, and peacock walls...

Outside the store it was bucketing down with rain and unbelievably cold but inside it was red a nd cozy and stylie and packed with friendly people from all over the show ... and we had lots of fun.
There was great music provided by Nadas CD picks and flowing bubbles, speeches and heaps of gesticulating and grinning by both of us - get the picture? (not to mention the dress-ups)

I sold at least one piece of art (more news on that later, she says optimistically and half patiently) so it was successful on that level too. You know, I really think collaborating on a good idea is some of the best fun to be had, and when it works well it's way more than the sum of the parts. Today I've had texts from all sorts of friends who've dropped in to see it, or enjoyed last night and wanted to say a big thanks.

I have to thank Liz especially for her grand PR job - even popping out mid-show for an interview on Maori radio last night.

Today it's down to earth day again as I do my GST and hit the event planning job hard. You can read the online story here
