The trail to bag some swag
January 26th, 2010
By Jill Adler – January 25, 2010
The first weekend of Sundance has ended and if you stick around past today, you’ll be one of the few. Everything, and I mean everything, happened between Thursday and Sunday. There will still be premieres and other films to watch throughout the week but almost all of the gifting and celeb sightings will wane after Monday. In the past, there was that push to spread the events and hubbub to last until Sundance closed, but with the economy, it’s back to crushing it on opening weekend.
I made a mad dash, therefore, to start my product march. I walked into the crammed Sky Suite at the Sky Lodge near Main Street and immediately started mingling and eyeballing the products set aside for VIPs. It was the final day for them so a few of the Suite’s sponsors were ‘gifted out.’ Not so for the Perky Jerky dude who insisted I try his caffeinated beef jerky and handed me packets of the mighty meat.
See, not everything gifted at Sundance is targeted for the rich and elite. Just those that dig pampering. I could barely squeeze past all of the cliques of filmmakers and pretty women to speak with the EOS people. All this schmoozing was making me parched. I could either belly up to the Eldridge bar from New York City where DJ Spider was spinning or throw back a cappuccino from Café Bustelo. The company was promoting a sinfully rich hot chocolate (made with milk, not water) and single-serving cappuccino packets. Between the espresso and my Low-carb Monster drink, I moved into mission mode for the ultimate coup.
Former supermodel Rachel Hunter fawned all over pieces from Italian jewelry designer Rebecca and they generously lavished her with a double-chain necklace and $500 chunky stone ring. The brand creates edgy, sexy pieces in stainless steel, bronze and semi-precious stones. After the reps were done snapping a slew of ‘Rachel’ shots, the host turned to me with a warm welcome as if I were just as cool as she was. See, not everyone at Sundance ignores you if you’re not in a film! I walked with a gilded bronze pendant necklace with a price tag hovering around $600. Gulp. The line is featured at J. Brooks at The Gateway and Fashion Plaza in Murray if you’d like some hands-on shopping of your own.
Just as I was starting to feel extra special, AMC Theaters provided the reality check. AMC gave VIPs a premiere pass for free movie-going at all AMC Theaters for the year. I got a box of Gummi Stars and Twizzlers. Guess it’s a good thing for me that there are no AMC Theaters in Utah. Two other sponsors at the Sky Suite payed it forward by donating to Haiti. Premium LG Group got celebs to sign a limited edition Burton-Corona Snowboard to auction off with a partner charity site. Give gave away gift cards for Global Giving where VIPS choose from about 15 Haitian relief efforts.
One of the coolest gifts and giving idea came from Blanket America (http://www.blanketamerica.com/). One side of the blanket features Obama’s inaugural speech (where he mentions “our patchwork heritage is a strength, not a weakness”), the other, a true old-school patchwork quilt of 13 different fabrics representing our original 13 colonies. For every Patchwork Heritage Quilt gifted at Sundance, Blanket America will give another to the needy. Blanket America aims to provide 1 million blankets to our country’s neediest citizens this year.
How funny I must have looked trotting down Main Street carrying a quilted blanket as I weaved between hordes of people in black peacoats and impractical shoes. I had 10 minutes to get to the Tweet House before they shut down for good. I heard Hitachi’s G-Technology was gifting harddrives. Now we’re talking.
Twitter staked out Park City’s The Shop yoga studio for their multi-tiered showcase of all things social and digital. This first “Tweet House” featured daytime panel discussions, product-gifting, evening special events and performances with live interactive video broadcasts from the “Tweet House,” on Ustream.com. The warehouse space off of Park Avenue was bumping for ‘happy hour’ but the sponsor tables were still manned. I snagged a killer vintage-style cotton shirt from Cohesive before scanning the room for G-Tech. Lots of media technology, from sound systems to web interfaces, lined the perimeter. It seemed out of place to find Lift Kits insoles. The shoe insoles add an inch of height where no one can see. But I suppose we can all find amusement as the ‘bigger person’. Plus, I always wanted to be 5′7″.
Aha! I zeroed in. Erin fervently shook my hand and introduced me to the Macbook-compatible G Drive mobile 500 GB USB. The sleek, white porcelain box -just slightly bigger than an iTouch – matches the latest Apple notebooks.
“The Sundance Film Festival is the largest U.S. gathering for independent cinema and is the perfect venue for our G-Technology products,” said Hitachi Global Storage Technologies spokesman Mike Cordano. “We are pleased to help increase the vitality of independent film and filmmakers, and expand our reach within the film community.”
Every sponsor I spoke with said the same thing. They welcomed Sundance as the springboard to exposing them to the world. Can’t wait to dive back in tomorrow.

Elevator Insoles – Getting You the Lift You Need
December 28th, 2009Elevator Insoles – Getting You the Lift You Need
Many people desire to be taller than they are. This is because there are many positive attributes associated with being tall. People who are tall are considered to be honorable, successful, proud, and strong. There have even been studies done that point out that height is directly related to success in the business world, as well as with people of the opposite sex. Who wouldn’t want to be tall?
If you are vertically challenged, you can do a little something to give yourself a height advantage. This can be achieved by wearing elevator insoles also known as shoe lifts. These inserts will give you a natural appearance of height. They can increase your height by up to two inches. Two inches doesn’t seem like a lot, but consider standing next to someone who is 5′ 8″ and another person who is 5′ 10″ tall; there is quite a bit of difference. But the best thing about elevator insoles is that you do not have to tell people that you are wearing them. They are disguised and hide neatly in your shoes vs. elevator shoe, which you can visibly see the extra inches on the outside of the shoe.
You can get all different types of elevator insoles. Full length inserts will provide you with the most support. Full inserts will support your heal, the ball of your foot, and your arch. You can also get half model inserts. These insoles will only support your heel, but they can, however, be used in a variety of different shoes. This means that if you plan to use your inserts on a daily basis, and you want to use a product that can fit easily inside any shoe, you should consider getting the heel lift model.

Already a big hit with men like Tom Cruise and the oompa loompas, these orthopedically-designed sole inserts are now available for women’s shoes. They’re supposed to improve posture, too.

How to Increase Your Height Naturally
December 14th, 2009How to Increase Your Height Naturally
If you are hoping for a late life growth spurt, then I’ve got bad news for you, it is not coming. Most men stop growing in their late teens. If you have passed this age, and your still standing at five foot six, then it looks likes that’s how tall you are going to be for the rest of your life. Fortunately, you do not have to appear this way anymore. You can increase your height in a way that will look natural. The best way to do this is with inserts.
Inserts will fit inside your shoes and lift your heels. This will give you the appearance of being tall, and it will hide your support within your shoes. If you want to increase your height, this is the best way to go about it. But there are a few things that you need to know about inserts before you buy.
First, you have to get ready for a posture change. Have you ever noticed how straight and tall women appear when wearing heels. The inserts will do the same; by forcing to stand more on the balls of your feet, you will stand taller with better posture. Inserts raise your heel to make you appear taller. This small change will alter the way your weight is distributed. If you are going to be wearing height increasing insoles you need to make sure that they are as comfortable as they can be, and offer a lot of support.
The best way to tell if a product is comfortable is to try them on. If you are going to buy yours on the internet, however, you should make sure that they are made of molded gel or neoprene. This is typically the most supportive, and most comfortable type of insert.
You also have to choose which type of insert you want. Do you want to increase your height with a full insole, a half insole, or an adjustable one. A full insert will give you the most support, while the half model will offer you the greatest flexibility in shoe wear
Introducing Lift Kits For Chicks!
December 8th, 2009Introducing Lift Kits For Chicks!
LOS ANGELES, Dec. 8 /PRNewswire/ — In 2009 Lift Kits for men were introduced, quickly becoming an instant must have and best kept secret for men looking to elevate their stature. Lift Kits designer Derek White now introduces a new line for women called Lift Kits For Chicks, an orthopedically designed insert that fits directly into any women’s boot, sneaker or closed flat, adding instant boost and comfort.
Joining the ranks of the latest surge of items that make women and men taller, tighter, firmer, younger, prettier…the list goes on and on, Lift Kits For Chicks accomplishes so much by simply slipping into a pair of shoes! A few inches of height automatically gives the illusion of a few inches off the middle or anywhere else, resulting in a sleeker, sexier, more confident appearance. Lift Kits for Chicks offers a safe, easy and inexpensive way to have a little fun with a little added height when you don’t want to sacrifice the sore feet that heels give you. Women’s Lift Kits come in two models, the low top and the universal – adding .75″ to 1-1/2″ of natural height increase and amazing comfort. Lift Kits will truly put a bounce in your step!
Lift Kits, originally for men, have created quite a buzz in Hollywood among talent and stylists. Stars such as Tom Cruise, Rex Lee, Kevin Connolly, Justin Brescia and Peter Facinelli have discovered this discreet way to add a little lift to their look. The insoles have been featured on Footwear News, Good Day LA, The Today Show, The Tyra Show, In Touch and Star.
