Words of Wisdom on Community Building
Aug 5th
Teresa Rodrigues (Jetset Extra), Akilah Bolden-Monifa (CBS5), Liana Burtsava (Trendy Lime)
One way to build communities is to organize (cool) events. Therefore Trendy Lime’ founder Liana Burtsava was invited to speak about community building and evangelists’ education at the PR Summit Boot Camp conference held in San Francisco by Shaun Sanders of Graffitti PR. Liana shared experience of cultivating a community of brand fans through creating the most fun+classy events, customer outreach, and use of social media tools. Conference take-away by Julie Blaustein of Bub.blicio.us.
“The old and the new protocols of PR 2.0 are starting to blend and with it are new ways of going about doing the business of PR. ….There are a number of tools available at your fingertips to engage in social media. The burning question is, what social media tools are the most productive and which are the time wasters?” (full article)
Here’s Looking at You, Trendy Limers
Aug 2nd
Lovely ladies in classic dresses, decorated in pearls, silk gloves, and stylish hats. Handsome gentlemen in fine white suit coats, sharp black bow ties and sleek top hats. As dashing as Humphrey Bogart and as as demure as Ingrid Bergman. Pat yourselves on the back, Trendy-Limers – YOU LOOKED FABULOUS! Thank you for making Casablanca a huge success.
Our festive crowd of old Hollywood film lovers toasted and danced the night away at Nuit Blanche lounge, a cozy venue with Moroccan charm. Photographer, Shelly Gerrish, captured the joyful crowd with an array of artistic photos.
So without further ado, here’s looking at you, Trendy Limers - photos from Casablanca.
Fun Little Tidbits You Don’t Really Need to Know about the Film Casablanca
Jul 28th
• Casablanca is one of the most quoted movies of all time, with six spots on the American Film Institute’s top 100 movie quotes. “Here’s looking at you, kid” ranked highest at # 5.
• The musical score for Casablanca was written by Max Steiner, who also composed the music for another Hollywood classic, Gone with the Wind.
• Casablanca was one of the most international films of its time. Only 3 of the 22 main characters were American. Ingrid Bergman, Bogart’s leading lady in the film, was from Sweden.
• Despite the largely international cast, the only true Moroccan in the film was the doorman – who had no speaking lines…
• “Play it again, Sam”—is not really a quote from the film. Ilsa, played by Bergam, actually says “Play it once, Sam, for old times’ sake.” She persists by saying, “Play it, Sam. Play ‘As Time Goes By.’”
• Dooley Wilson, who played Sam (the piano player) in the film, couldn’t play piano. He was a drummer.
Looking forward to seeing you all this Friday night at Nuit Blanche for ‘Casablanca’ a la Trendy Lime!
It’s Not Always Black and White… Sometimes it’s Technicolor
Jul 26th
Only 4 days left until the affair begins – Romance, Intrigue, Glamour – CASABLANCA. This Friday, Trendy Lime is taking you back to the 1940’s, to Rick’s Café Americaine, where Bogart and Bergman made Hollywood history. If you don’t attend this event, you’ll regret it. ‘Maybe not today. Maybe not tomorrow, but soon and for the rest of your life.’ (-Humphrey Bogart)
Having trouble deciding what to wear? Here are some simple ideas, for the ladies:
- Long silk/satin gloves
- A hat- Women wore a variety of hats in the 1940s… from dainty headpieces to wide bonnets. Here are a few examples
- A long fitted dress or skirt – fitting and flirty, but to the knees, please!
Gentlemen:
- A top hat – you know the one…
- A bowtie
- A classic jacket (with dress pants, of course! No jeans in this joint.)
