Once a month, we have a meeting in Beverly Hills.  We always get there early to avoid traffic, have a fresh bagel right out of the oven, and peruse Rodeo Drive's latest luxury windows.   For us, it is a study/lesson in branding and seeing how our friends in the luxury industry are marketing themselves and their products This morning delighted us with the Jeddhi/Darth Vader look.  And no doubt the force would be with you in a white on white ski outfit, and keep away the dark forces with that formidable helmet goggle gear. What a way to be noticed on the hills, and given the design of the helmet, not a hair would be out of place. Wishing you all a great Thursday, Cheers, Ron & Alexandra WATCH VIDEOS-  Buzz-Worthy Luxury Real Estate Websites   Personal Branding Case Studies   Company Bran...

The Cream Puff is from Mike’s Pastry, which is next door to Café Victoria. Interestingly the culture of the North End is just like in Italy. The merchants do not mind if they do not have something on the menu. They either run across to the other establishment which has it, or tell you that  it is OK for you to run across and bring it back. In this particular...
