Taylor


Taylor is one of the sweetest girls in my life. I absolutely love and respect this girl. I never knew I would; when I volunteered, I simply thought I could lend the Mom a hand. See Taylor is a girl who is outstanding member of our society. She is gifted in so many ways. She is humble, soft and very sharp. Taylor now is 14 years of age. She is a accomplished piano player at Grade 8 level. Her grade average I know in grade 10 was only 95.25%. So with this high intellect, you also have someone who is an incredible athlete. See Taylor is involved heavily in Elite Gymnastics. She has done things that would make your head spin. The trouble is Taylor had an accident, a bad accident and now is spending the rest of her life in a wheel chair. Taylor tried a dismount that has never been done before and didn't make it. I read this in both of Toronto's major papers about 8 months ago and wanted to help. The article was about how the Gymnastics Association left her, kind of bailed out on her after the accident. That touched me and now I volunteer as much as my life will let me. I like being part of her life.

Taylor's support network is full. She doesn't need me. I'm just a fan. She has a ton of support from a lot of friends and relatives. Her Mom during Gymnastics meets and practices supported not only her daughter, but since going through over 700 clips of video, I see her Mom supported every girl on the team with equal love. That is really special, have you ever heard parents at the Elite Hockey level. Certainly not like Taylor's Mom, Rowena. Many of them are selfish for their own kids, not Rowena.

Aren't We Naughty donated some gift baskets for the silent auction and I made the video for the presentation throughout the evening. It was fun. Oh and since Taylor has a Jamaican background, there was some awesome Jerk chicken served. It's Monday and I still remember that great taste and the smile on the servers mouth. Should get me one of them-there Franchises called Mr. Jerk!

Saturday night was a fund raiser for Taylor and Spinal Cord Research. It was something special. I spent two full days making a VIDEO and my brother in law spent a day and a half converting video from tape to digital for me. The video turned out to be spectacular and I will add it to here later as soon as I make it smaller to fit. In this video for example, Taylor did a flip on the balance beam (which by the way is I think only 4 inches wide) that only 5 people in the world have done. You will see that later when I update my blog.

The biggest thrill for me was she was happy about the video I made for her and she tried to throw me a kiss. Sweet. Touched my heart.

Today is Monday, I'm off to the golf course.

London Calling (your wallet please)

This is a beautiful photo of my walk through Paddington Railway station. Anyway,I'm here in London, and my room per night is $350. all in - Canadian. Last night my room was $134.00 all in - Canadian as well, a little more respectable, but it was very small. The good part was it was clean. I was way outside London in a beautiful place called Bath to see a customer on our wholesale side. They were amazingly hospitable and friendly. I've made new friends. Oh for those who know me, breakfast was included in this little place, so you know I was cheerful. It was amazing. I will drink the milk in the UK. The only country where I will drink the milk. So I had cereal, eggs, chocolate roll. Its 11:40pm and I'm dreaming of breakfast.The good thing about that is you're motivated to jump out of bed everyday! When I was a kid I was so happy when my teacher said, "Breakfast is the most important meal of the day!"

Here is a photo of my room at the $134.00. Mr. Spendy! Hey I took one for the team here. Who says I spend a lot on myself. Below are more photos of the room.
Back to London, I don't know how people live here and make ends meet. I must say the buildings are awesome. The inside is amazing. I could feel myself growing up here. I'm sure I'd love it. Just tons of things to do. Space is limited perhaps that's what drives the Brits to Canada. I've enjoyed it more this trip than any other. Simply put, the place is great, if you can afford it. Below I'm struggling to iron a shirt on this mini ironing board in my mini room.


This is the front of my hotel. Like I say it is small but very cute. Just no Internet, but there is an Internet cafe across the street that I noticed when I checked out in the morning.
If you can't read the circle it gives some information on the designer. He was born on 1806 and died in 1859. Now that is old, but cool too. Its kept so well and respected. Love the UK for that.

Vegas Simply Amazing


Las Vegas is over and my work (holiday) is over. The models were studding as usual and I must say, the lingerie is so good, I have too much difficulty in picking out what I want. I simply need help like maybe 3 ladies and me to check it all out. This would be a huge relief. It simply too much work for one person.
As usual I saw many good friends and even a wonderful former employee. She started her own business and is doing very well. There is nothing better than to see someone love the business so much, they branch out on their own. You know that you created an environment to which they loved and we continue to do this. Aren't We Naughty is not only a great place to shop, but to work as well. We let people do their jobs with a touch of guidance. I'm very proud of her.

Well my golf game isn't too bad so far. I'm having fun. So far so good. Unfortunately it will be cut short again this year with my travels. Such as, next week I will be on my way to London England for a few days.

The good news is our factory in China is in full production. with over 60 employees, from nothing 2.5 years ago, we are rocking. The PowerBullet product now is sold all over the world. Our factory employees are treated extremely well. They are happy and the produce. Our PowerBullet G is awesome. All of the products are made with no dangerous seams. Just have a look at how much work it takes to make something seamless as demonstrated in the Booty Beads video. Speaking of Booty Beads, I believe this is Aren't We Naughty's best Anal and clitoral product ever. We even made a video on how to clean it.

Anyway time to go, will update from London! Hopefully I'll get the Brits to check out our new Booty Beads product. Should be fun...can't wait to hear their humour. The Brits are the best.
