SKiN ©2010: The Script, The Book & The Odyssey. The May 29, 2010 Edition.

Chicago, IL USA: As we wrap up the Merry Marketing Month of May, the weekend is here and many accomplishments have been achieved on the:

SKiN: Sacred Kinship in Nature (TM)
How 10 Beloved Plush Toys Redefine Race (C)2009

front.

2 major conventions were attended where I took GORF, THE FROG 1 of the Major TOYS from the GAPH Council. Because of his exceedingly handsome amphibianic good looks many people will stop and talk while we chat about him and the role he plays in the execution of the Book & 5 subsequent films. Because everyone has SKiN, they all have a VO: Valued Opinion. I find this point in this Literature's Emergence very exciting. With each passing day, many people are affected so that the 3 messages are firmly implanted. Those are:

1) Dispelling Racism
2) Figuring out the Bombardment of Mixed Signals that we meet up with daily &
3) What Matters...realizing what really matters (once & for all).

With June's Arrival, other outlets will be pursued that will be captured here on KOOPERSMITHin...

SKiN ©2010: The Script, The Book & The Odyssey. The May 20, 2010 Edition. Exposing RumpelstiltSKiN, Koopersmithian Style.

Chicago, IL:

The 6th Sequel of 7 Movies (since the first is always known as the Premier) of:

SKiN: Sacred Kinship in Nature (TM)
How 10 Beloved Plush Toys Redefine Race (C)2009

is called THE RETURN OF RUMPELSTILTSKiN (C)2010

and was my Entry for Script-Frenzy's April, 2010 "Write a Script in a Month" contest. However, needing to charge up the Promotionals for SKiN in which I wrote THE BOOK and then converted it into 3 movie scripts written from August 8, 2009 to April 8, 2010, I did begin writing it, but Common Sense told me to temporarily place 'Rumpel'on-hold until the Hollywood Producers reading the first 3 Spec Scripts decide.

Then, this AM on NBC news, I discovered that Shrek (who will be released tomoro on May 21st) has a character called: Rumpelstiltskin. As I told my friend, Terry, a popular radio talk show host out in the Heartland:

"The ironic thing is that Shrek 3 - The Closing comes out tomoro and 1 of the main characters is Rumpelstilkskin and when I went to enter the April, 2010 contest called Script Frenzy - my movie was called: The Return of Rumpelstiltskin - as I was doing a take-off of the word SKiN in it and how greedy the world has gotten, as Rump was a greedy little moron...if you remember the story. Now, Spielberg's character in Shrek is Rumpelstiltskin = a diff. story line, but how coincidental is that? I guess when there is 6 billion people in the world, there's bound to be some overlap.."

And you read it here first. Great Minds & Material are never 'grim.' Good Fairy Tales live on and on and on until they are reinvented.

SKiN: An Appreciation of Life
Quote of ASK: May 17, 2010 - 8:49 AM

When you see all the news that is so sad, you realize that making it through 1 more day is indeed a blessing. In the SKiN you are in, it definitely is traumatic when something happens that debilitates that person - be it a disease, accident or even an insult that attacks the heart & core of that person(ality).

When I wrote:

SKiN: Sacred Kinship in Nature (TM)
HOW 10 BELOVED PLUSH TOYS REDEFINE RACE (C)2009

I had that in mind. That the body, mind and spirit are one and the color of a person's skin should NOT count as a negative, but a positive in their daily routines and encounters.

As of today's date, 3 of the 6 books have been re-created into SCREENPLAYS and are being read by Hollywood Producers. This is indeed exciting, but the most exciting part, of course is its messages of:

Eliminating Racism
Dispelling Mixed Signals &
What Matters

ASK/Chicago: The Scriptapalooza Countdown: 91 Days to go...

REPORTING IN LIVE FROM CHiCAGO:

Attn: Scriptapalooza Entrants - that is all of us lucky ones who entered MARK's Contest. According to MM: My Math there are only 91 more long and gruelling Days 2 go.The Countdown diligently dwindles day-by-day. Winners announced August 15 -- accordg 2 my calendar - that's pretty darn soon, but, of course, not soon enough. BTW: I attended Columbia College Chicago's Manifesto Party yesterday - May 14TH -- a (wild) Streetwide Graduation Party for their graduates. While there, I spoke to an Alumnae who now works in LA's Film Industry(and this is 1 of the best creative/arts/film schools in the country that places each of their grads) who told me that IF you do not have a literary agent or a movie producer-uncle, then to ENTER CONTESTS. That's how to 'get discovered' these days. Wanted to share that tid-bit/byte w/you.

Tomoro the Scriptapalooza count will be 90...too bad we can't reverse our ages or weights this way & way!

Suave Shampoo - A Testimonial to make your Hair fall out.

Chicago, IL USA: As written to the SUAVE for their May 13, 2010 contest:

Dear Suave Staffers:

I am so pleased to be writing to you. Got a minute to e-chat? I do! Got Milk? Nope, I got hair!

Briefly, I am 57 and have waist length hair that gets compliments every day. Why? Because I tell them "I use SUAVE." I also won the Chicago Competition of SHE's GOT THE LOOK in Oct of 2008 - which was, of course, because of my MANE. Just had to tell you - since your line of Shampoo & conditioner made it ALL possible. If you need me for advertisements or Tv commercials, let me know -- no one has a head of hair like mine.

I am also the Founder of INTERNATIONAL HAIR-itage (R) Days that I began 15 years celebrating my Look of Ageless at any age.

is its Nature -- that is one of the 3 leading topics deals with WHAT MATTERS. May is a month of many things that matter, with perhaps the most important being the State of our Relationships with the ones we love. Take a moment today to think of those people who make your life as wonderful as it is and then you begin to realize about what really matters...in the long run.

that tells of the encounters of 10 Plush Toys and 'Their Keeper' as they explore a world that man created, but which they know could be alot more...than it is.

Currently, 3 spec movie scripts are in Hollywood being evaluated. In the meantime, a mass PRAM: Public Relations - Advertising - Marketing campaign has been launched to signify its other meanings as well that include: Dispelling Racism and 'What Matters.'

I purchased the Twitter For Dummies book at the local Book Store, Borders where they had a 30% coupon. $aving $7 is indeed a treat no matter what SKiN you happen to be in. Rich or poor, you cannot buy the color of SKiN you are in, but we can all be more compassionate in our daily doings, trials and tribulations.

There is so much going on in a person's life, there's really no time to deal with

RACE
Racism
Prejudice or Bigotry...

as I do in my Book(s) called:

SKiN: Sacred Kinship in Nature (TM)
How 10 Beloved Plush Toys Redefine Race (C)2009.

One of the many reasons I am thinking of this is becuz I am clad in skin and as I type this at the local library here in Chicago, the city is a mix of many people - of different shapes, sizes and skin tones -- all (if they are virtually good and not criminally-minded people) have something good to do and say. Letting their message be marred by prejudice and mixed symbols and messages only destroys that exchange. Think about what TRULY MATTERS as you tend to today's business and the business @ hand.

See where you fall in this 'ladder' and there's always time and room for improvement.

SKiN ©2010: The Script, The Book & The Odyssey. The May 6, 2010 Edition.

Chicago, IL USA: The great thing about being in the SKiN you are in is that you can make the most of it. After all, there are 24 hours in a given day and if you even stay up and produce for 1/2 that amount of time, you'll have a heap of positives accumulated by the end of the day. Keep doing this and it's bound to get bigger and better.

With that thought in mind, I decided to improve the communication skills here at KOOPERSMITH' GLOBAL COMMUNICATIONS - my PRAM: Public Relations - Advertising - Marketing Firm that I've headed since 1979 - now going strong the last 31 years. How was I going to do this? By embracing Social Networks more than I do. I sat in on a terrific Seminar brought to you by the Community Media Workshop of Chicago headed by Diana Pardo where Twitter was the main topic. It's been over with by 90 minutes now and I now have 2 Tweet-ative accounts. And this could not be more fun.

FYI,for the details you can always pick up the DUMMIES BOOK OF TWITTERING. I highly recommend it for promotionals as:

SKiN: Sacred Kinship in Nature (TM)
How 10 Beloved Plush Toys Redefine Race (C)2009

and just to find out about everything that is going on. Altho we must keep it to 140 characters, this is a great way to learn the fine art of brevity. And, as I asked at the end of the Presentation:

Is there a Twitters' Anonymous group? If not now, soon, I'm sure.

My handle is:

CHANGING THE TOPIC NOW:

#1) I've reached 4500 miles on my Bike as of today's date since May 29, 2008.

#2) My Campaign called V-8 @ 58 (R) is working out for me. The goal is to drink 3 glasses of V-8 every day through May, 2010 and see how it improves my health - ie: via the SKiN that I'm in. If I connect #1 with #2, the results may prove beneficial. That's the aim as summer grows nearer. And won't that call for a fine TWEET n TWITTER

Chicago, IL USA:

It's Cinqo de Maio and that means there's celebration in the air for Hispanics, Latinos and others who just like to party-down in whatever color skin they are in. While perusing the Internet, I see that Time Magazine is honoring their top 100 people. That's an idea that has deeper meaning than just flaunting those that have a bit more clout than the rest of us. Today in 'our world' everyone has to be represented equally and fairly, otherwise, the powers that be the WATCH-DOGS for such discrimiatory groups will be pounding on your door, trumpeting that that action is not the correct one to proceed with. And, for once, people of color get a chance to show what they are all about after too many years of hate, bigotry and other such transgressions.

That's 1 of the interesting things about my 6-Part Novel and 6 Movie Scripts called:

SKiN: Sacred Kinship in Nature (TM)
How 10 Beloved Plush Toys Redefine Race (C)2009

because we're all represented here; talked about; analyzed and complimented whether we are in furs, flesh, fin or feathers.

SKiN ©2010: The Script, The Book & The Odyssey. The May 3, 2010 Edition.

Chicago, IL USA: It's important to pay attention to the SKiN you are in. This is because, although plastic surgeries can incur and be undertaken, you're basically who you are, whether you undergo cosmetic tendencies or not. That's one of the finer points that is highlighted in my Release called:

SKiN: Sacred Kinship in Nature (TM)
How 10 Beloved Plush Toys Redefine Race (C)2009

but it's far more than that. The 6-part book and subsequent movie scripts details 3 very important topics that need our immediate attention. Those are:

Racism
Mixed Signals &
What matters.

When was the last time you received a mixed signal? Are mixed signals a lie? Even a very small 'white lie?' Did you meet someone who could become 'very special' - did they say they were going to call and now days later, you've not heard from them? Did you give them a fake phone number? Did they give you an old email address? What's becoming of relationships 'these days' when a mixed signal can absolutely ruin a prospect? Is too much excess causing Mixed Signals to surface more than ever before? This definitely could be and become the case. I did not have to go far to 'absorb' scenarios on the topic of MIXED SIGNALS when I wrote SKiN (C)2009 which basically took 3 months to do...

but like all 'good writers' -- or writers that aim to be good or at least sincere to their Art & Craft, it was the rewriting that definitely took THE TIME. In my particular case, the penning and composition of its 3 (of 6) movie scripts began on August 8, 2009 and was completed on April 8, 2010. Now all 3 are in Los Angeles, being read by industry pros...

And the Venture goes on, no matter what SKiN color you are in.

SKiN ©2010: The Script, The Book & The Odyssey. Join ASK's V-8 Challenge and see the difference a Month makes on your Booty.

Chicago, IL USA:

Today's Topic: How to look your best in the SKiN you are in:

Within the SKiN you are in - whether you are White, Black, Brown, Yellow or Red toned, it's important to have healthy skin. One of those ways is to eat healthily. For that reason, I have launched - via using myself as the role model, what is known as:

THE V=8 CHALLENGE

where the individual challenges himself to only 31 days - a month's worth of drinking 3 10-ounce glasses of the delicious tomato-red refreshing drink - owned by Campbell's - and a handful of reduced fat crackers for:

either 1 meal
or
as a snack substitute.

Many years ago, in order for my Mom's boyfriend to slim down, she encouraged him to drink V-8. Within a short period of time (of which she did not state), he had lost his POUCH -- a big fat belly that many men over 50 seem to attain and obtain. Not only did he look healthier, but he was healthier. For that reason and the fact that most of us want to look NICER for June and Summer in the Northern Hemisphere, I challenge you to drink up on the V-8 and enjoy some savory crackers.

Personally, I am going an extra step and am not eating desserts or bread for the month as well. Because I bike 14 miles a day -- my round trip has seen 4455 miles peddled since May 29, 2008 when I bought my latest bike.

Tomoro I will be weighing in to see what I way and see what the total monthly loss will be. It's bound to be an adventurous month here, of which I am looking forward.

Chicago, IL USA

Today marks the Final in a Series explaining more about:

SKiN (C)

that will be fully completed as of Monday, June 1, 2009. What is of noticeable accord is not only can a book be written within the course of 4 full months if one sets their mind & SKiN to it, but it is actually the Rewrites that count the most. This is one of the Facets that happens when a person is not only a perfectionist, but they enjoy seeing what they meant when undergoing the Process of writing and getting the Message out there.

The Eventological Designation of Merry Marketing Month of May, 2009 is a Time of getting the most accomplished as it has been and should be undertaken by all of those who need a great read for the(ir) Summer.
