Our Obama lookalike featured in a TV commercial in Hong Kong!

The call came in just before the Christmas holidays:  An advertising agency in Hong Kong requested our Obama lookalike for a Kentucky Fried Chicken TV commercial.  How could we refuse?  Later, we got lots of emails from friends saying the ad got featured on news programs.  Turns out the KFC parent company pulled the ad when some folks thought it was objectionable. Well, it aired right before Chinese President Hu's visit to the White House.   Oh well, we thought it was all in good fun!  What do you think?

Hotel W comes to DC!


We had the honor and the extreme fun to be a part of staff training at the new Hotel W. On the first day of training we offered Abe Lincoln on stilts welcoming the new trainees in Pershing Park, directly in front of the newly renovated hotel. They followed Abe to the hotel for a reception including Marie Antoinette costumed as a strolling buffet table, and a very sexy version of George Washington.


On the last day of training, the trainees were entertained by our Obama lookalike, Secret Service agents, sexy George, a body builder "Colonial Gentleman," and a feminine version of sexy George based on the Cindy Crawford cover of the former "George" magazine.


We are excited that this hip new venue, only a block from the White House, is going to be a great new addition to the events scene in Washington DC!

Our "Obama" endorses Las Vegas

Our Obama lookalike dropped by "Strike Bethesda" on Tuesday, not to bowl, but to schmooze with 300 members of the PCMA. The fun party was hosted by the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Association, and the "Prez" put in a good word for Las Vegas as a great place for meetings.

He reminded the event and meeting planners that Las Vegas is the #1 destination in the country for meetings and conventions. Here's why: Not just the flashy shows and casinos! Las Vegas has 6.7 million square feet of convention space, and an additional 3 million square feet at individual properties. Last year 22,454 conventions and meetings came to Las Vegas!

These meetings pumped 8.5 billion dollars into the economy. We call that some kind of stiumulus! And oh yes, lest we forget--Las Vegas is FUN!

Obama Lookalike appears at Inaugural events!


Our Obama lookalike was a hit at a corporate Inaugural event, hosted by a pharmaceutical company.
The photo from this event is courtesy of Ralph Alswang.
Along with his Secret Service agents, our Barack "double" caused quite a stir. Then, when he attended another ball as a guest, someone spotted him and thought he was the "real" Barack! This incident made it into an article in the Washington Post the next day.
