The meaning of “Inception” … a love letter to Public Relations?
Posted by Rob Dandorph in PR, entertainment | Comments
The juxtaposition between the sweltering outdoors and the meat locker that is my local movie theater seems to inhibit my neurons from doing their thang sometimes. Wasn’t I just sweating? Why has hypothermia now set in? Why is the popcorn dancing on screen when it’s about to meet its untimely demise? In short, it’s difficult to think clearly when the lights dim in summertime, which is most likely why those mindless big blockbusters typically do so well as our nation’s birthday rolls around. (Will Smith, you’re still my king of summer.) …

Posted by Sarah LaRosa in fashion, social media | Comments
Seeing as this is a blog, it’s only appropriate to address one of my personal favorite subjects: fashion blogs … and the bloggers behind them! After the workday when many others I know are comfortably nestled in front of their televisions, I entrench myself in the fashion blogosphere. I find it fascinating to see how young men and women around the world interpret the latest trends—and how some defy them completely. And I know I’m not the only one; the fashion world has begun to notice these everyday people with a …

Intern Corner: Fourth of July Events in Colorado
Posted by Sarah Boucher in denver, intern corner, travel | Comments
With the 4th of July quickly approaching sometimes it is hard not to think about the typical all American-activities like bbq, watching fireworks, going to parades, and entertaining by the pool. After living on the East Coast and in Colorado I feel like I have done everything I can possibly think of for the Fourth- from escaping to the beach to attending what seems like a decade of ordinary Fourth of July gatherings full of food, drink, and everything red, white, and blue.

Posted by tpradmin in Simply Give | Comments

But for so many- this concept is unknown. This month’s highlighted charity effort, Hometown Hospitality, is dedicated to making everyone feel more at home in their communities- especially those who are less fortunate.
