Creating Creative Bookmarks Through Discount Printing

May 3, 2010 /

Using discount printing services is not just about saving money. It also allows you to unleash your creative side in ways you never considered before. For example, did you know that you can make something as simple as bookmarks seem like much more than a bookmark?

Here are a few creative ways you can put a bookmark to good use:

Business Bookmarks –

A bookmark can serve as a cost-effective mini flyer promoting your business. They are an effective marketing tool that offers a certain personal touch a postcard or flyer can’t create. A creatively designed bookmark featuring your company logo and related offers or promotions is likely to draw a customer’s attention and keep it squarely fixed on your business.

Souvenir Bookmarks –

If you run a hotel, guesthouse, bed & breakfast or villa, a bookmark presents customers with a travel souvenir they can pass onto friends and relatives. You can incorporate an image of their travel destination as a way to remind them of how great their trip was and as a means of drawing others to come share in that experience.

Community Bookmarks –

Need to find a new way to promote your local church or school? A creative bookmark can definitely drive up interest. If you are teacher, perhaps you can use a specially made bookmark as a reward for winning a competition or doing well on a test. If you are a minster or pastor, maybe a bookmark decked out with a Bible verse reinforces the message of your weekly sermon.

Event Bookmarks –

A bookmark can serve as a creative option to a standard ticket for a play or a concert. Many people save ticket stubs for their scrapbook anyway. Giving them a bookmark adds a little extra flair to such a keepsake.

RIP Robert Culp

March 24, 2010 /

He had his biggest success on television with Bill Cosby on  “I Spy,” historic in its way as the first inter-racial buddy adventure program on TV or, for that matter, in any medium and the tongue-in-cheek superhero comedy, “The Greatest American Hero.” Nevertheless, Mr. Culp, who died unexpectedly today from a fall at age 79, also made a notable mark on films.

Costarring with his colleague and friend Cosby, he directed an attempt to translate their TV fame into movies with 1972’s “Hickey and Boggs.”  The film, which was written by a young Walter Hill, tried to go in vastly different, far grittier and grimmer direction than the TV show and failed at the box office. Recently, however, it’s been rediscovered by some cinephiles and crime film fans.

Still, a few year before that Culp appeared in one of the real cultural break-out movies of the 1960s, “Bob & Carol & Ted & Alice.” For better or worse, it helped popularized, or perhaps merely capitalized, on the idea of “swinging” and “free love” among the older, married set. I haven’t seen this one either and I have no excuse other than somewhat mixed-feelings about most of writer-director Paul Mazursky’s other movies. However, in her heartfelt farewell to Culp, Cinematical’s Monika Bartyzel was kind enough to provide the lengthy, terrific clip below. This scene with Natalie Wood really shows Culp’s way with both serious and light material as he experiences a pretty broad swath of emotions in a scene that starts out as something close to straight drama and gradually eases into some pretty delightful comedy. Now, I want to see this.

Fashion Dresses For Sexy Models

March 23, 2010 /

March is almost halfway in, and the winter, both financial and seasonal, is receding at a fast pace. This spring, get ready for the return of a number of old trends that have caught on again. Short pants, boy shorts and tap pants are going to rule the legs of sexy models this spring. Hemlines are going north so quick its dazzling. Knee high and over the knee socks are becoming trendy. One of the more amazing of fashionable dresses includes the warrior dresses. Leather tunics, metal plating and other riffraff from tribal and military cultures are becoming the dress of the confident woman this year. Wear one of these Amazon dresses if you are trying to look like a sexy model.

Versace and Lanvin have both come out with new ways to show more legs without going for the micro-mini. A long dress with a very high split that almost touches your high hips is the trendy wear for those who have long, beautiful legs. I find this much sexier than a micro mini which leaves little to imagination.

Imagination is the key. If that was not so, why would any sexy model bother to wear clothes at all? Think about the trend this spring of sheer fabric and see through dress. They show off some, but hide some too – which makes men wonder about what might be beneath the dress. If everything were easily visible, much of the charm would have been lost. Designers seem to have caught on to this truth this spring. The dresses are coming out with more and novel methods of revealing a little and hiding a lot. If you are wanting to look sexy this year, that’s the method to adopt.

Pet Celebrities

March 14, 2010 /

Does your dog drool over close ups of Lassie? Or perhaps your cat has a thing about Morris? Their lack of going gaga over famous animals may be a part of animal behavior that humans would do well to imitate. Of course, there are lots of famous animals and there are also famous pets. Famous people have pets and that makes their pet famous, right? After all, Paris Hilton’s Chihuahua, Tinkerbell, gets her photo in lots of fashionable tabloids. Whether they earned their fame by starring in a full-length motion picture (remember Benji? and Babe, the pig?), or whether they are famous for who owns them, these pets are still just pets. They require the same basic care as your dog or cat.

Of course, I am sure Ms. Hilton can afford to have someone else take care of her dog for her, and I know that famous animal actors have handlers whose lives are devoted to their needs because these animals pay their salaries. Still, dogs and cats all have to eat, they have to be bathed and groomed and get their shots. They are all subject to skin irritations and pest infestations. So, they all need the same basic care.

Still, I can’t imagine Tinkerbell eating dog food from a bag, can you? And does the Obama’s dog use the same Sentinel® flea spray that I use on my dog? Of course, the presidential pooch probably has a special secret service detail assigned to keep fleas at bay, using lots of sophisticated weapons.

The point is that your pet is famous… at least it is to you. You love it as much as any teenager loves some cute young vampire guy from a movie, and unlike Hollywood pets, yours entertains you every day. So, like the famous pet it truly is, your pet deserves its share of time, pampering and maybe a picture or two to make sure it stays forever in the limelight of your heart.

Go ask “Alice” about weekend box office

March 5, 2010 /

Alice in Wonderland

Jolly Carl Diorio is saying it could make $75 million or so. Indeed, there’s no particular reason to doubt that the combination of the name recognition of director Tim Burton, star Johnny Depp, and the enduring, if eternally semi-culty, appeal of Lewis Carroll’s subversive not-at-all-just-for-children literary classic will mean some degree of big dollars at the Oscar weekend box office.

At the same time, I wouldn’t expect “Alice in Wonderland” to haven gigantic lasting power. With a few notable exceptions, weak stories have been the otherwise brilliant Burton’s Achilles heel throughout his career. Moreover, Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass have never really broken through in film versions in a huge way because of their chaotic, episodic structure. It took the advent of marijuana, LSD, and the Jefferson Airplane to make Disney’s “Alice” a theatrical hit in 1974, 23 years after it’s original release. 3-D is the closest thing our more abstemious age has.

Of course, the new film as written by Linda Woolverton is technically a sequel to original stories and attempts to lay a more coherent structure over Charles Dodgson’s chaotic classics but, judging from the reaction of our own David Medsker and critics overall, the results are mixed. Audiences will come for Burton’s visuals, Depp’s appeal, and the 3-D, but what will they stay for on the second weekend? Anne Hathaway and Helena Bonham Carter as dramatic queens won’t hurt, but still.

Don Cheadle and Wesley Snipes are not rural in The fiscal prospect of the week’s other new major release, “Brooklyn’s Finest” seems considerably more modest, though with Richard Gere, Don Cheadle, Wesley Snipes and Ethan Hawke in the cast it has its share of big name stars. Reportedly filled to overflowing with cop-movie cliches, the R-rated film from director Antoine Fuqua of “Training Day” has left critics unimpressed and jovial Mr. DiOrio doesn’t expect it to break double-digit millions, noting it “tracks best in urban demos” — which I guess either means that African-American filmgoers are somewhat more kindly disposed towards it than, say, Armenian-American filmgoers, or that filmgoers in farming communities aren’t up for it.
