McElhenny Steals The Show With This Potential Nose Pick

Kim Smith sells out Cape Ann Community Cinema with her riveting Butterfly movie and all anyone wants to talk about is this picture from the after-party.

Not less than 37 emails all asking if in fact that move in the background of Donna Ardizzoni’s picture by our boy John McElhenny was a flat out nose pick or not.

Honestly I don’t have a definitive answer so I’ll leave it up to you to decide.

So sneaky with the hand curled and digging with the thumb.  Interesting technique.  Only a pro nose picker pulls this move off.

Leave it to McElhenny to steal Kim’s thunder.

See how stoic Kim and Fred are in this picture?  I bet it’s because they know McElhenny is going to town picking his nose behind them and they’re saying to themselves “I hope Donna doesn’t post this picture of us with John McElhenny in the background picking his nose.  It’s all anyone will talk about and the magnificence of my butterfly movie will be lost on the distraction created by John’s nose picking”

That McElhenny- always stealing the show.  Diabolical move.

They don’t call him the best in the PR world for nothing.

Would I be surprised if he announces McElhenny PR Agency start up within the next week?

Hell no.

Kim Kardashian, Britney Spears, Lindsay Lohan, John McElhenny.  Always front and center in people’s consciousness.  It’s what he does.

Don’t hate the PR Playa, Hate The PR Game.  That’s what I always say.

endangered and threatened species from mary barker- and a Poll

Hi Joey,

I had the unexpected pleasure of finding some Snowy Egrets, which are a threatened species, while I was killing some time in Ipswich last week.  One male was vying for the attention of 2 females.  He was putting on quite a show.  I also had the good fortune to encounter 8 Lady Slippers, an endangered species, while hiking in So. Hamilton.  I did not have my tripod with me to get super clean shots, but thought they were worth sharing.

Editor’s Note from Joey-

When the person who named the Lady Slipper The Lady Slipper thought to themselves- “Hmmm what shall I call this magnificent flower?” and then came up with “Lady Slipper” I’m trying to figure out how they didn’t name it a Lady Vagina.

Lady Slipper…  Really?

When you look at it can you honestly tell me that looks more like a slipper than a a vajajay?

That thing’s got Lady Vagina written all over it.  Like you know how the term white rice perfectly describes white rice?  That’s the way I feel about the Lady Vagina. It’s misleading to name it a Lady Slipper- Borderline criminal actually.  False advertising 101.

In fact I think we ought to start a campaign to have the flower renamed so people don’t get confused.  It’s only right.

Lady Vagina FTW

Poll Time!

Cultural Center at Rocky Neck – CLOSING THE GAP!

Karen Ristuben writes-

On behalf of the Rocky Neck Art Colony, I am thrilled to announce that we have received word from the Massachusetts Cultural Council that the Art Colony will receive a significant grant of $154,006 to apply toward the purchase of the Cultural Center building. This state grant comes on the heels of the City of Gloucester’s award of $74,000 in Cultural Development Block Grant funding to make the building handicapped accessible. We are immensely grateful for such generous state and city support! Together these gifts reflect substantial progress toward building equity in a thriving and sustainable cultural center.
Combining these two grants with private donations, the Art Colony has now raised $390,000 toward a campaign goal of $700,000.  To reach this goal, we need to raise an additional $310,000. Our remaining needs are to:
• Retire our mortgage of $100,000.
• Raise an additional $126,000 for renovations and handicapped access
• Add $86,000 in operational and capital reserves
We have also applied for $50,000 in Community Preservation Act funding toward renovations and handicapped access. The Art Colony is now strongly positioned to launch the next phase of our capital campaign – Closing the Gap!
We are absolutely delighted that the community has used the Center so robustly for a host of artistic, cultural and community events, and we anticipate even more exciting uses of the building in the future. Immense thanks are due to our generous donors and to the many people who have worked tirelessly to create the Center.  With your continued help and support, we believe that the Center will flourish as a respected New England cultural institution and contribute to the revitalization of Gloucester and Rocky Neck. Your participation counts.
Sincerely yours,
Karen Ristuben, President

We’ve come a long way from the initial idea Karen spoke about in this video on September 11, 2011

Joey,

Don’t see this everyday! Oar snaps at the start of the Final of the Masters Dory Race in Gloucester. Apparently race is restarted if something like this happens within the first ten strokes of the race. New oars were brought out and the race went on. Canadiens won this one. You can see the initial crack in the first photo.. — atGloucester Harbor.
