A Letter in Support of Chick-fil-A — The Patriot Post


A Letter in Support of Chick-fil-A    

In response to the national bruhaha that homosexual activities and others have created over a comment from Chick-fil-A CEO Dan Cathy where he simply stated his belief in Biblical values, other businesses and publications are coming out in support of Chick-fil-A. This is the first paragraph of a letter written by The Patriot Post in support of Chick-fil-A:
We hereby declare our support for the executives, franchise owners and more than 61,000 employees of Chick-fil-A for their Christian business practices, as well as their stated support for biblical values, which is to say traditional American family values.

Barbie Collectors vs. Mattel: 1997's 'Pink Anger' - National Barbie Collecting Examiner


15th anniversary of Pink Anger: Barbie fans vs. Mattel

I was a staff writer for Barbie Bazaar magazine, as well as a contributor to Miller's Fashion Doll magazine, White's Guide to Collecting and other doll collecting magazines in 1997 when Mattel's legal department made the business decision to clamp down hard on people with Barbie doll websites, magazines, etc. Almost anything and anyone who used the word Barbie in any form or fashion not under Mattel's direct control received legal cease and desist letters. This article tells the story of Pink Anger.

The Barbie doll reached the height of its collectibility in 1997 with even brand-new dolls commanding staggering prices on the secondary market. In 1997, Barbie was responsible for 80% of sales in the doll segment of the billion dollar toy market. Then something went wrong.

New Portal for Skin, Health & Beauty News Launched September 2011: SkinHealthBeauty.Com - Yahoo! Voices

Cosmetics Department Shop Girls

New Portal for Skin, Health & Beauty News Launched September 2011: SkinHealthBeauty

In 2008 while still a humble shop girl working a part-time job in retail, I began writing articles for various sites on the web to earn a 2nd income. It wasn't long before I also started blogging. 

Little did I know that my years working as a shop girl in the cosmetics department of a major national retail chain learning about different skin care and cosmetic products would lead to a skin care blog, a skin care column, a skin care business, and eventually, my own website about skin, health and beauty!

In September 2011, a new website launched to address skin care, health & beauty concerns and the special needs of aging skin. Appropriately named Skin, Health, Beauty, the new health, beauty and anti-aging skin care website contains articles, photos, videos, tips and information about keeping skin healthy and beautiful as well as aging, wellness, beauty and other related topics. The skincare and beauty website also carries product reviews, national skincare events and information about job opportunities in the skincare field.
