It was an omen to walk into work one day just to be then escorted out 30 minutes later...obviously, so that I could dash home, entertain my mother-in-law, greet my parents, and sit in the balcony with a cocktail and watch Carol Burnett make me laugh and cry all-together. 'Twas magical...and it started my 'job search' off with a different perspective.
Since January 9th, I have been glued to this computer tinkering on two websites, pulling several artist connections, reconnecting with old friends, and namely, getting a magazine mock-up off the ground. I think I've worked more in two weeks than I have in six months at the old job. As a small personal bonus, I've also picked up a freelance gig and am assisting Dad with his direct marketing endeavors.
With my business partner Julie, I have written down 350+ businesses in Central Texas to solicit ads and distribution deals with. Tomorrow, I'm going to add 100 more. We are so excited to bring Looky Magazine to Hill Country. I've never felt more positive and invested about a personal project than I have today.
Looky Magazine will provide a new and fresh perspective on an adult products and services guide for Central Texas. Considering the competition who shall remain nameless (although you'd maybe have to stretch your memory to even realize that there already is an 'adult directory' out there in Austin) our foot is already 3 steps in the door, and ten-times sexier.
I'm proud to partner with one of my best friends to make a woman-run publication and business in the realm of sexual health and well-being. I hope we can provide a tastefully sexy alternative to what already barely exists. We project the launch of the print magazine for June 2009. It will be bi-annual and will serve as a nice, chunky 'guide' of sorts: seasonally and eventfully themed.
Until then, I'm dusting off my camera skills in my brain, for I just bought a killer Canon Rebel Xti loaded package with many lenses and gadgets galore! Too excited to think!
My fuel lately has been a steady dose of Tim & Eric Awesome Show GREAT JOB, or more appropriately, the two-hour Adult Swim block every night at 11.
