Well. I believe you. In fact, I still work a few days for an antique rug dealer, rugs up to $80,000--how I know how to write the advice. I have 3 cats, but had to research that. In further fact, I've watched my employers work with their ad people, and our ads suck like an electrolux. I think a few might've been "borrowed" without permission from NY shops.

Hm. It's certainly something to think more about. One of the stories that most surprised me in how nicely it came together was based on my daughter's scale model of a cool local restaurant. Her project in itself is awesome--people inside the building are waving, you can read the headlines on the newspapers in the stands outside the door. We photographed her with it and it ran in our newsletter as Local Restaurant Terrorized By Giant 9 Year-Old Girl. (In a surprising series of events last week a local restaurant was uprooted and carried into another space/time dimension for a social-studies project, apparently. Etc.) Maybe I could do such silly things for certain kinds of clients, if I learn about it.

Do any of you mind if I pm you as I pursue things further? I really do appreciate all the response, y'all, I need time to digest it. Thanks! Fred
