Monday Again -

Smile - It is only Monday for a little longer.  Then you have an entire 6 days, Monday free.

Just how many of you can relate to this?   Notice that there is nothing for 2012.  Wonder why?  Not me.

Monday Funnies

Happy Monday - make it a great start to a great week. 
And smile - it will make everyone around you suspicious.

Mermaid Swimsuit - Would You Wear One?

      Mermaid Body Swimsuit?  Really?

     While checking some of my messages yesterday, I came across this story about Mermaid Body Swimsuits.  And is was labeled 'hottest trend' - Really !?  Don't get me wrong, I think this is cute as can be.  Cute as a costume.  Not functional as a costume unless you have a few hunky guys to carry you around like you are Cleopatra on your royal platform. But cute.

     My grand daughters loved the movie "The Little Mermaid" but they have never asked for a mermaid swimsuit.  I have also known of an exotic dancer or two who had requested a mermaid 'costume'.  A few celebs have been known to enjoy the mermaid look; or at least found it profitable to dawn the look.  But I guess I should be a bit more broad minded and share a little more of the info that I found.

     3-Fins, a company from Vancouver, was started my Monika Naumann.  Naumann who sells mermaid tails made of shimmering shades of bathing suit material, says that she was inspired by her daughters' obsession with mermaids.  (Right now I am wondering just how old her daughters are.)  This is when I start realizing how little I know about today's swimwear market.  This woman is selling these 'tails' for $245 plus shipping and has gotten coverage on Today.com.

     Naumann says that her customers are pleased with this product that helps to fulfill their child's fantasy but the product is also for adults, claiming that you get a great workout and you can swim faster than you can imagine in the ocean.  Again - I want to see you get from your beach towel to the water.  Better yet, I want to see the fear on the faces of the life guards who know - - -

     In all fairness, I will show you a few pics and share a video.  They are pretty but I am pretty certain that they should not be in the same category as a swim suit. 

 

     I want to fish wish Monika  good luck with her venture but I don't think she needs it.  I should probably be asking her for marketing advise.  

Monday Funnies #1

     When I look on Facebook and see all the people that really dislike Mondays, I think that perhaps we should all start the week with comics, enjoyable and fun stuff.   So fun stuff it will be from Exposure Products. 
     
     I work pretty much ever day of the week so Mondays are just another day of playing with fabrics and battling the belligerent sewing machine.  But for those of you with a true "Monday", here is the start of what is sure to be my favorite series on the Exposure Products site.

     Have a great day -
