That Pam Chick

Have you ever wondered how to give a proper lap dance? If you said yes (and who didnt?!) Neil Patel has the video tutorial for you. While we know of Neil as a social media expert, an angel investor and an informative blogger, he has added stripper to his repertoire at PubCon this year and wants to teach you how to give a lap dance. Enjoy and put your new skills to good use!

Once upon a time I did some videos for the great folks over at 1938media. One of my favorites was a breast cancer PSA (“Pamcakes Service Announcement”). Since October is Breast Cancer Awareness month I thought I’d revive that video in case you didn’t see it back then.

Other than self breast exams or (self-assisted breast exams ) the next best thing you can do is support breast cancer research. A great way to do that while getting something cool for yourself is by visiting CustomizedGirl.Com. There you can easily make a t-shirt that says whatever you want and 10% of your sale will be donated to breast cancer research. Plus you will receive $5 off your order! Just enter the code CURE09 when you check out. They have 4 great shirt options that are only $10 each right now so there’s no better time to grab a shirt and help save our tatas!

Just a few years ago I was the girl who had a purse for every outfit.  My purse collection was like a Dr. Seuss rhyme…one purse, two purse, red purse, blue purse.  I would change my purse every day to carry just the right one to go with my outfit.  I was also a clothes shopping addict at the time so I had a lot of outfits to match.  All of my purses were low end bags ranging in cost from numerous Nine West clearance finds for $30 to my “splurge” of $250 on a red Kate Spade. At the time I thought it was insane to spend $250 on a purse.  We just didn’t do that in South Dakota where I grew up.  I quickly got tired of the routine of swapping purses every day only to find I had left half the things I need in yesterday’s purse and settled into a couple of stand by bags that I carried most days and donated the rest to Goodwill.

Unfortunately, I never had a good black bag that I loved.  I feel like many black purses, regardless of the designer or price tag, look cheap.  Maybe it’s because of my many days at the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally, being surrounded by black biker leather or maybe it’s just because I never found a bag that “spoke” to me.  That changed the first time I walked into a Coach store.  The first black bag I saw was nearly surrounded by a glow it was so perfect.  I gladly forked over the $400 for that bag knowing that I could carry it with almost any outfit.  That was the extent of what I considered “higher end” purse purchases for me except a brown Via Spiga and a yellow B. Makowsky that I got on the cheap at DSW.

Fast forward a couple of years and I was still happily carrying my Coach bag 5 days out of the week.  The I met Vlad at SEO Spring Break 2009.  Vlad owns purseblog.com, which offers designer handbag reviews and news, with his wonderful wife Meaghan who is The Purse Blog’s “resident bag enthusiast” and editor. After some sweet talking and schmoozing…okay after some boozing…Vlad decided to properly introduce me to the world of designer bags.  I exchanged numerous emails with Meaghan and looked at hundreds of bags without finding one I liked.  After what felt like an eternity, I finally found two that I liked, a black Prada bag and a tan Chloe.

I ended up choosing the Chloe bag because it was such a rich, gorgeous color and unlike anything I had in my collection.  After deciding on a bag, waiting for it to arrive was agony! Every time I heard the UPS truck outside my house I would run to the door hoping to hear a box land on my doorstep.  When the bag finally arrived it was well worth the wait.  The bag is the exact color it looks in the picture and is even larger than I expected.  The leather is luxurious and the craftsmanship is superb.  The bag is a little big for taking into a crowded bar but it is perfect for day-to-day activities since you can fit everything and anything in it.  However, despite being large it doesn’t overpower you or look like you are carrying an overnight bag for a purse.

I couldn’t be happier with my introduction to designer purses and vow to never, ever buy a cheap purse again.  Thank you to my friends at The Purse Blog.  I am now converted to your religion.
