Two words that made me happy to lose my job… Giants Win!

No one knew that the Giants would sweep the World Series after having done so in 2010. But once again the hardworking team gave baseball fans an excuse to party. And as a result I am happy to say that I am out of job and loving it!

It isn’t often that as a freelancer I am happy to be out of work but when you sit back and think about it, there actually are some pretty cool reasons that not working is to your benefit. For example the situation I am facing today.

The San Francisco Giants swept the World Series in Detroit and are not returning to the Bay Area except for the Halloween Victory Parade on November 1^st, 2012. And for that sort of publicity, I am not needed. Therefore, out of a job until next baseball season and we start all over again.

For a very long time I have worked with the San Francisco Giants in some form or another and have always eagerly awaited the return of baseball season. I wasn’t always a fan of baseball, but anyone who knows me personally knows how intimate with baseball I have become. (See my bio at www.ejsports.com for more information about my baseball business.)

Another really cool reason to be out of job as a freelancer is when a film project comes together and the martini shot is in the can.  Who doesn’t love seeing the end result of months and months worth of work?

Furthermore, another reason to be happy to be out of work is to evaluate your next adventure. It’s all about gratitude and seeing things in a positive light. I love that I am out of job because the Giants won.

The phone is ringing, must be my next gig. So much for being out of a job as a freelancer.

Creative Closeup- Behind the Scenes

It’s been a goal of mine to shoot a series. And today that goal came true. I won’t reveal all of the details but I will tell you that it feels amazing to check off a goal that has been in the works for years. I met with solo entrepreneur, Joy Light of Joy Hand Painted Silk from Ashland, Oregon.

We talked about the greatness of being an independent business owner and the trials of being on the road promoting your business. Joy creates some of the most amazing silk creations on this planet. In fact her creations are so awesome she named her blog Planet Joy to house all of the greatness that comes from creating. Check out her behind the scenes information and upcoming events at http://www.joysilk.blogspot.com

Joy and I had a great time on set and we met lots of great people at the festival. The fun had to end sometime, since there is so much post production that needs attention. I have all of the editing to do, music to choose, an intro to shoot, VoiceOver talent to acquire and lots of other production tidbits to arrange. But starting is the hard part. And today I moved past that hurdle to push forward to a new frontier. To boldly go down a path that I haven’t taken before. And it has me walking on clouds.

Check back for more information on my journey with Joy and future updates on the show. I would love to hear your comments and suggestions about production, or anything at all for that matter. Leave a comment below or tweet me @suzettemariel .

Ciao!

Spotlight- The Kimono Collection

During my Chicago work trip I had a chance to visit the Art Institute of Chicago. One of the exhibits I had the pleasure to view was The Japanese Kimono Collection.

Kimono literally means “thing one wears, or thing to wear.” I would definitely wear any of the kimonos I saw displayed if my lifestyle could work around it! Each kimono was exquisite and intricately designed.

Advisory Warning- Gold Jewelry

Thanks for coming and checking out my post today. I have been quite busy and will catch up soon with my latest trip to Houston, Texas for a shoot, as well as a few other shoots that happened in between time.

In the mean time I came across something that I thought was important to share regarding gold jewelry. We all love adornment and gold jewelry whether it’s white, yellow or the increasingly popular rose gold. The problem with this fabulous adornment is women have been targeted as easy money thefts.

With gold prices steadily on the rise, women who wear gold jewelry have become the target of thieves. According to ABC news, women wearing gold jewelry while waiting for BART (similar to the subway) are easy targets for thieves to grab their jewelry and run. Check out the video link for the direct news source here: http://abclocal.go.com/kgo/video?id=8315299 I’m not sure if this is happening with frequency in other cities but anywhere you are its important to spread the word to your female relatives and friends.

My warning to my female friends is to scale back the amount of gold you are wearing that is visible, stay alert to dangerous situations, travel with a companion if possible, avoid large crowds without security, wear jewelry beneath clothes, keep your mobile phone close at hand to call for help.  Be safe my friends!

Love Louboutin!

Forbes and Fashion generally don’t go hand in hand but times have changed and its possible the infamous red soles we know and love, otherwise known as Louboutin may change too. Apparently the trademark on the red soles has been cancelled, but Loboutin will appeal to the Federal Courts to protect it’s well known product attribute. Read the full story here:
