A Star In The Making

I was ready for my close-up…though I never got it. About a month ago, thanks to a friend of mine, I had the really neat experience of being an extra for an independent movie that was filmed in the area. I was amazed at how long it takes to shoot just one scene! I'm not sure if I'll actually end up seeing myself on the big screen, but every celebrity has to start somewhere, right?

Even a household name like fitness personality Richard Simmons, who's still going strong after twenty years, caught his big media break with an appearance on a reality TV show! And this was long before the likes of The Real World or Survivor series. That appearance helped him land a role on General Hospital and from there…the world! Relive the Sweatin' to the Oldies era with his 5-DVD anniversary set that'll get you movin' and shakin' to some fun tunes while listening to Richard's inspiring banter.

Television also has the ability to create "stars" out of products, such as the As Seen On TV items. I've already mentioned the produce-prolonging merits of Debbie Meyer Green Bags™ in a previous post. And we just added the Debbie Meyer Cheese and Cold Cut Bags™. It really is amazing how these bags keep food fresh and edible — long after you'd normally throw that unrecognizable science project in the fridge away!

I'll let you in a secret. I don't have a green thumb. If anything, I have a brown thumb, because that's what color my plants turn despite my best efforts. My biggest problem is that I forget to water them completely. Or I overcompensate and drown them. Aqua Globes™ should save my plants from further torture. Plus, I like how the hand blown colored glass fits in with the other stuff around my house.

Oh, but this is just a taste of what we offer. If you do a search for "As Seen On TV" from The Lighter Side home page, you'll find much more, like foot pads that draw toxins out of your body or putty that can seal leaks instantly.
