Rock personalities don't always grow old gracefully. In fact, it can sometime be quite painful watching your rock heroes creep into middle age. Or old age. No wonder KISS still keeps the make-up (and wigs) on! And what's really behind Bret Michaels’ bandanna?
Well – here’s the exception to the growing old rule. Betsy Bitch.
This gal is no spring chicken, but the Heavy Metal lifestyle does her body good!!
Enter beer. This beer. An ale, actually. Arrogant Bastard Ale. It certainly has bite. And taste. It's a beer that's refreshing (much like a Mentos - but with emphasis on the BUZZ). Even satisfying. The woman in my life laughed at the bottle, took a sip and proclaimed "GOOD BEER." Such proclamations are usually left to Vikings, Germans and self-proclaimed Weekend Warriors. This time a blonde can claim that statement. And a Southern blonde at that.
I finally found a hops and barley refreshment (i.e. beer - not Grape Nuts puree') that best describes the little voice that's in my head. You know that voice - don't ya? It's the one that they talk about in The Secret and on Dr. Phil. Well anyway - keep in mind that I am about as down-to-earth as anyone on the planet. Heck, maybe even more so (that might explain my resume - c'mon the power of The Secret). But every so often, that damn little voice screams loudly, and this time it was thirsty. Very thirsty. And irritable.
By this time, I was tempted to let my cat Booger sip it since he did jump up on the table and gave it a hefty sniff). But then those animal activists and anti-Michael Vick bloggers would have had quite the field day. So I took the glass away. And (hopefully) rightfully so!
Just thought I’d share with the rest of the world about why I love my job as much as I do. First of all, I get to have great relationships with some of the most fun people in my industry – jewelry editors, executives and other assorted ad people.
Secondly, when these people want to pursue your business, they tend to be really, really nice and take you to dinner (always a cool thing). And sometimes they give you tickets to a play or concert (which I fully appreciate). Or they even may try to keep your attention with a gift. Well, below is my latest (and greatest) gift. Unfortunately, this is probably a signal that there will be 12 steps in my near future.
And feel free to tell me what parking lot to roll this to.
Special thanks to the fine and forward thinking people at Conde Nast.
