Phoebe of Rare Accents

Kudos to talented ‘Phoebe’ (aka ‘Tiffany’) Clum of Rare Accents Salon in scenic (ahem) Palm Harbor, Florida for her tireless endeavour to whip my locks into shape. It does indeed ‘take a Village’ to plaster my locks in place. She makes it all look so easy.

Phoebe of Rare Accents

REAL (and consistent) Talent is hard to find.

I’ve scoured venues in: London (Harvey Nick’s and Harrod’s salons), New York-(Frederic Fekkai), Miami (Ling Chow), Washington, D.C. (Christophe), Los Angeles, (Jose EBER), PARIS (Christophe Robin), Tokyo (Pastel). I have No Choice, I can barely comb out all this hair on my own—forget style…and I can honestly attest to the skill Ms. Clum has exhibited.

“We’re Not Some Banks”

Colonial Bank catch phrase

Ah, that wonderful world of Advertising.

Colonial Bank:
‘We’re Not Some Banks.’

Well, that’s catchy.

How ’bout, Colonial Bank—We Really Aren’t A Bank At All.
Now. I like that. It instills a “Folksy” kind of confidence. Too Bad Andy Griffith couldn’t do a voice over.

Forget the FDIC, Deposit Slips, Vaults. Just pull up to the drive through with a sack of loot and we’ll deal with it. Maybe we’ll put it in your ‘account’……(not that you really have one….because we aren’t ’some banks’) maybe not.

Maybe we’ll just blow it for you at the Wing House conveniently located nearby (for us, that is….we have lunch there daily)….or perhaps we’ll “invest” it for you at the ‘Hard Rock Casino’ off I-4 near Lakeland, Florida.

We just don’t know.

And, neither do you…….

After all, we’re not ‘Some Banks’……..

P.S. We do provide daycare/adoption services for a fee. That’s why there’s a kid on our logo. Be sure to ask our tellers about some of the additional features of opening a business checking account with us.

Hallmark Hall of Fame (Shame?)

Fairies for doughnuts and pepperoni pizza

Okay, I think there is something mildly disturbing about ceramic fairies atop slices of pepperoni pizza. I mean, what’s with the wings in the mozzarella. You’d think they wouldn’t get any ‘lift’ sort of along the lines of the ‘No Pest Strip’ and mosquitoes. But, Hey….I never got the ‘garden gnome’ thing going mentally either.

Maybe you get a Swarm with a full Pie Order. Don’t forget the Anchovies.
