Every year for the past, well, 100 or so, I've been going to Las Vegas for the jewelry shows. Rather than gauge my life by my birthday or the number of nieces and nephews I've been blessed with or the guys I've dated, I gauge my life by my annual pilgrimage to Sin City. The economy goes up, it goes down, the players move from company to company, my wardrobe improves or gets worse, I work for someone else, I work for myself, we represent different clients, we have different tasks we have to fulfill....change is inevitable, but no matter what goes on in the rest of the world, some things about Vegas never change, including the pre-show stress!
Ah, yes, the pre-show stress is as reliable as the hopped-up, diamond charged energy one feels when entering the JCK Show, it's as reliable as the smell of cigarette smoke and Wayne Newton's calogne in the air, it's as reliable as the intense desire to miss morning meetings because last night's "meeting" went a bit long (on the dance floor that is!), it's as reliable as a steady diet of passed hors d'ouevres and late-night spinach dip from the Grand Lux, it's as reliable as the house always winning. It manifests itself in the way of snappish attitudes, short tempers, frantic jewelers calling requesting a last minute press release, clients giving no direction and expecting you to read their minds (fair enough!) and, of course, lots of "I have nothing to weaaaaaar!"
So what do we have on-deck for our Las Vegas adventure this year? Well, we're giving guided press tours at the JCK Show to help media navigate their way through that wonderfully overwhelming place, we're working with the fabulous designer Lori Bonn promoting her collection (and we can't wait to see any new goodies she'll be bringing with her!), we're helping with the launch of a new, gorgeous collection of watches, we'll be tweeting away from the show floor, we're pulling jewelry for several upcoming celebrity appearances and shows, and of course, we've got lots of dinners, cocktail parties, and festivies planned that will help us spend some time with our many friends and colleagues and hopefully figure out ways that we can all work together.
So, can I get a VIVA LAS VEGAS!!!!!
With Jobs' s appearence in the Apple headquarters in Cupertino California media conference, iPhone OS 4 which outsiders have been waitting for a long time is also coming soon. But there are always something other news with the opening for Jobs. For instance, iPad has sold for 450 thousands pieces so far. The downloading of iBook is over 600,000 times, while the iPad software is over 3500,000 times. The download of App Store is over 4 billion, including 185,000 application. And the iPad application in App Store is over 3500 items. According to these data, it seems that the Old Jobs now may be satisfied with the situation of App Store and iPad.Do You Make These 5 Common Beauty Mistakes with M003

Whoa, that was a lot of to-dos! How did it go this year? Yeah, there is something unchanging about the place. The energy never really dies when we board that plane or car and leave the city! This same energy also lures people back for more of the same experience... the city just offers something other places cannot!
