Ever Wonder What’s on the Wish List for an LA Publicist?
December 14, 2011 6:36pmWell today is your lucky day! Here at Konnect PR we are all very much a part of the holiday season, so much so that you can hear various Pandora holiday stations echoing throughout our pink offices. While we have a solid week left of work, that didn’t stop this multitasking LA publicist from rounding up the most desired gifts from the lovely ladies here at our office. Check out the top gifts we want most this season:
1. Ranking in as the most expensive and highly desired gift, one LA Publicst dreams of one day owning Dylan McKay’s Porche Speedster. A girl can dream, can’t she? She sure can!
2. & 3. What no publicist should be without: fabulous pair(s) of shoes! Check out these adorable boots from Steve Madden and these classic beauties from Anthro!
4. When you’re making the rounds at a holiday party, attending a client meeting or pitching away, every LA Publicist knows an eye popping manicure is a must. Look at these dazzling shades desired for the season!
5. The gift of time! Well, kind of…a fabulous golden Michael Kors watch will do the trick!
6. & 7. Bags Galore! For the bag lovers of the office–this gorgeous Alexander Wang will definitely turn heads while this classic Tory is a must for the season!
8. As a first timer to New Yawk for the season, one LA Publicist can’t seem to live without these practical and very convenient Kate Spade mittens!
9. And last but not least…what LA Publicist wouldn’t want a beautiful business card holder for our signature pink business cards?
What’s on YOUR list this season?

An LA Publicist’s Thanksgiving
November 28, 2011 6:21pmThis LA Publicist’s Thanksgiving consisted of nothing from the exception including eating, spending time with family and relaxing. While we try to stay as traditional with the thanksgiving customs, my family, like most of our pr agency, brings its cultural flair to the mix. No Thanksgiving of ours is complete without a small touch of the ethnic Indian flavor, this year in form of a Garbanzo Bean salad!
This year I spent the weekend in Arizona, a long-standing tradition we have with our family friends (going on 20 years to be exact!), and while we were missing a few family members, it was still pretty awesome! Everything from the food, to staying up until 3:00 just catching up, to uncontrollable laughter, I would call it a pretty successful Thanksgiving!
Hope everyone had a great long weekend!

Thanksgiving Is Only a Week Away
November 17, 2011 6:26pm7 days left and counting until this LA publicist’s favorite holiday of the year. Every year I look forward to Thanksgiving because it is that wonderful time of year when I get to spend quality time with my family and enjoy tons of delicious food. We are even having our own little Thanksgiving feast here at Konnect PR and we are planning to go all out with a turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, pumpkin pie, cranberry sauce and sparkling apple cider.
Everyone here at Konnect PR wishes you a…

LA Publicist Cracks UP…Literally
November 10, 2011 5:59pmOne of our daily tasks working at a pr agency is to research media outlets and find potential features that would be a good fit for our clients. While I was busy working on this task, I came across something that I felt obliged to share with everyone here at Konnect PR.
Want to know what made everyone at this pr agency go “AWWWWW!” See for yourself….
Isn’t this the cutest picture ever!!? Not only does it mention one of my favorite Pixar movies of all time, “Up,” but the little boy in this picture is a spitting image of the old man, Carl, from the movie (except about 70 years younger). This LA publicist absolutely loves this picture! So much so, that whenever I am having a down moment, I pull up this picture and I crack a smile.

An LA Publicist On Broken iPads (aka Magazines)
November 9, 2011 6:50pmTo all you parents with little ones out there- This LA Publicist recently came across a study conducted by AVG Security revealing that children today, especially toddlers, are more inclined to navigate a mouse and comprehensively operate a smart phone or tablet before tying their own shoe laces or learning how to ride a bike. While I recognize the very trials and tribulations once faced in taking on such challenges (hence the reason stilettos and boots are staple pieces in my wardrobe- but that’s besides the point), it is no question that this study will generate quite a few ‘gasps’ and puzzled looks from the audience, or will it? It is clear today that the littlest ones in our society today are surpassing us with their online knowledge and proficiency which begs the question: if this is the digital age, what’s next?
Please check out this adorable sticky-fingered tot who thinks that a magazine is a broken iPad. This modern little techie has no patients for our ancient magazines and therefore making it abundantly clear that in her eyes, a magazine is an iPad that doesn’t work. While this LA Publicist will always love flipping through magazines, I can only wonder what the future will bring…or what they will come up with next!
