Firstly, my news before I reach the meat of my post. I’ve sold a new manuscript to Ellora’s Cave. It’s called House of the Cat, and I posted an outtake for this story a couple of weeks ago for Snippet Saturday. House of the Cat is a paranormal sci-fi with a feline shifter hero. I don’t have a release date as yet. Watch this space!
Our local airline, Air New Zealand has a brilliant new ad campaign at present. They’ve used their own staff to star in a commerical, and all they’re wearing is body paint. The ad has a catchy tune, and it’s awesome. I stop to watch every time it comes on the telly. And I have to agree with the ladies in the ad - I love a man in uniform.
They’ve taken this a step further and made a safety video as well - one that will guarantee every passenger watches to check out the staff in body paint.
And just to finish off - here’s the making of the ad. The guy with the gray hair in the yellow workman’s uniform is the company CEO Rob Fyfe. I’ve always admired him for the way he involves himself in the everyday running of the company. He actually spends time doing all the jobs in the company such as cleaning, moving luggage etc to understand each job and look for ways to improve.
Do you love a man in uniform?
