Sex and the City Love keychain … or, the holy grail

One of those things about my work is that every day could present a drop-everything sort of project. Yesterday and today, it happens to be the “Love” keychain from Sex and the City: The Movie. As you may know (If you’ve visited SeenON.com, anyway), the editorial department has been diligently chronicling the fashions from the film for the past month. But when we saw the movie on Friday, we knew we had to start selling the keychain. After a long day yesterday spent trying to track down the manufacturer of a version they handed out at the pink carpet premieres for the film, we had success! We’re finally offering the keychain on our site now! (The originals were made for the movie by high-end jeweler H. Stern in 18K gold – and cost $6000. Needless to say, ours is a little less precious but a lot more affordable!)

It’s cool to be able to work in a small company where we can make things happen almost immediately. This is one of those items that was “seen on” a major film and that people have been asking about all over the place. I love that we can fulfill our site’s promise to deliver the items seen on screen – and almost immediately, without price gouging like some eBay sellers!

So ladies, start lining up to get your fun, fabulous Love keychain – available at SeenON!

xoxo, Heather

 

Why I love my job: Reason #52

I am wearing a cocktail dress at work today. Why, you ask? Because my entire team (I’m the Editorial Director at SeenON.com) is going to see Sex and the City: The Movie this afternoon! Yes, we’re all saying Sayonara at 1 pm to head over to SF’s fabulous Kabuki Theatre to enjoy the film in luxurious splendor. There’s even a bar. (Too bad I have that dang Half Marathon tomorrow! Carbs only for me!) We worked so hard identifying all the shoes, bags, and various other accessories they wore in the movie, that it’s only appropriate that we see it on opening day. Be sure and check out the section at SeenON! Will update post run with what I am positive will be a scorching time, for all you oh-so-loyal readers.

Why does Paula Abdul clap so weirdly?

OK, I was watching American Idol last night along with the rest of the world (and actually, this morning, since my DVR cut off the entire part after Ryan said “And the winner is …”), and I just couldn’t stop fixating on Paula Abdul’s weird, weird clapping style. I’ve noticed it before, but this is the first time I was wondering if she needed help. A cortisone shot? Perhaps she actually has no hands at all, and her appendages are actually those fake hands that animal control people use to make sure the nasty ones don’t bite their fingers off.

Anyway, I was sure the all-knowing Internet could help me. After all, I am slow on the uptake, so I was positive many, many astute people had asked this question before me. After surfing through some not-too-helpful Yahoo! Answers (example: She claps like that because she is actually a seal dressed up in a Paula Abdul suit”), I came across this long-ago clip of Paula explaining to a very-dark-haired Ryan Seacrest exactly why she claps like a survivor of Everest 1996.

There you have it folks. Mystery solved. (And in case you haven’t noticed, the purpose of this blog is primarily to practice different media insertions into WordPress so I can use it at work.
