IF YOU ARE READING THIS BLOG, YOU ARE GOOD LOOKING AND SMART AS A WHIP.
Hi! So the WaterShoppe is ready to move into fall/winter mode. The staff will now be dressed as Bon Homme, and Lisa and myself will wear Elf costumes. And every afternoon at 2pm we will have a virtual snow storm take place inside the store.
* everything in above mentioned paragraph is based on fiction, and will only occur inside my head every day at 2pm.
So could things be any better? Go on, ask. Not only have we been listed on websites, had great print articles done, received enough attention to grab a fabulous Yorkville client (name to be withheld, since we don't like bragging, ummm much), had 3 of the 5 star hotels in Toronto contact us, affiliated ourselves with Earth Dance, and a mention in Style At Home magazine. Not bad for two months, huh? A big thank you to Tina at SIMON SAYS on Mount Pleasant for sending the Toronto Life editor over yesterday. Remember I had mentioned SIMON SAYS in a previous blog? Well now they give out FREE honda civics if you mention this entry!
*again, this will only occur in my head. So congrats for your imaginary gift!

Ebony and Ivor-reeeeee....
Zut alors!! The french are coming! And so are the germans, the dutch, the irish, the scots, and the frickin yankees! Our latest waters have been released from customs, and they are all living together in harmony at the store. However, each morning I notice that the english waters have jumped off the shelf and moved away from the french waters. Some things never change.
In case you live under a massive rock, you know the Toronto Film Festival in underway. George Clooney and Russell Crow came in yesterday and asked if it was possible to get in a photo with myself and Lisa. Hello, busy??? Man, are they annoying. What's next? Catherine Zeta asking for a free italian soda? Sorry sister, you have to get in line behind TomCat, just like everyone else.
Oh, baby Suri asked if she be our scientology water specialist. WHAT-ever.
We have been getting busier every week-end, and the word of mouth is fantastic. Last week I had the pleasure of meeting one of the San Benedetto family members in our store. Wouldn't it be nice to have a business card like hers that reads "Firenze, Italy". Damn the italians are arrogant with their sexy addresses. And what about the french? We have another business card from a soft spoken, scarf wearing frenchman, that says "Eau", Grenoble France. PUH-Leez. Check this out-"Lisa and Tracey" midtown GTA. Huh? Take that.
Lisa has gone above and beyond for our customers in buying fabulous products. Until you walk into the store and see it, you won't believe me. She managed to track down items like child-friendly chop sticks (what? sushi has seaweed???, it's water related!), tornado-in-a-can, shower caps with dancing hula girls, and even a rubber frog that you squeeze and the contents of his stomach blob outwards. That one kind of makes my lunch come back up, but so does a rat tail on a kid, so I'm coping. For anyone over 60 and under 30, a rat tail is a long skinny braid of greasy hair which drapes down the back of a neck, typically accompanied by a mullet. For those over 60 and under 30 a mullet is the hairstyle of Billy Ray Cyrus circa Achy Breaky Heart. For those that were not awake for the year 1992, Billy Ray Cyrus was bigger than Madonna and U2. And for those of us who still get that damn song stuck in our heads, pity.
The store is doing amazing, and our website will be up soon, and ready for online shopping! Another interesting addition to the WaterShoppe is the oldest case of Perrier in the world. Yup. Corked, and still bubbly. We can't sell it, so don't ask. Did you really think that we would put it on E-Bay?? Well, contractually we can't, NOT that we would have. I wonder what it would go for....
Just as every annoying motivational speaker says-Make it a great week!
p.s-Is it true that Brangelina is adopting myself and Lisa? Gawd, I wish we knew before the media shows up.
