Q&A with Rachel
Here’s an archive of our live podcast with Rachel Sklar. Unlike our marathon 90 minute show with Steve Rubel last time, this one clocks in at an efficient 29 minutes.
OK, Marketers, Prove Your Worth: Help Us Come Up With the Perfect T-Shirt Slogan
Over at our sister site Spin Thicket, we’re planning to pull the Google ads and begin selling T-shirts in that space. We’ve built a Cafe Press storefront and are populating it with designs geared toward PR and advertising types. (Our spokesmodel is wearing one of our samples at left.)
But … we need your help! We ran out of funny before we ran out of T-shirts — so we want you to post or e-mail the verbiage you’d most like to see on one of our shirts.
Who knows? Maybe your wildest dreams will come true and your idea will end up in our inventory. That’s better than money anyway, isn’t it?
OK — let’s have it!

Melissa George’s string bikini is smaller than her hand!
Actress Melissa George admits it “wasn’t too pleasant” wearing one half the size of a normal Brazilian bikini for new movie Turistas. The former Home And Away beauty admits even locals on the Brazilian set were stunned by the white skimpy string swimwear.
“My bikinis were crocheted and they fit into my hand. Even the Brazilian girls said to me: ‘My God, that’s small for a Brazilian bikini,’” the Sun quoted Melissa, as saying. “I had a heart attack because I thought I was wearing a Brazilian bikini but I was wearing one half the size so that wasn’t too pleasant,” she added.
A bit reminiscent of Jessica Alba’s frequent protestations of modesty. Puh-lease.
