Hottie Mexican Prez Enrique Peña Nieto (just pronouncing Peña makes my lips do the Mexican Hat Dance) has earmarked almost $300 million for tourism promotion around the world.
The announcement came on February 25th. I imagine, dahrlings, that by 0600 hrs. on the morning of February 26th every tour operator, retail group, trade and consumer publication and one insatiable travel association had a proposal out petitioning for a portion of the promotional plunder.
Toronto’s own Mexican tourism emissary Rodrigo Esponda must feel like a piñata, poked with a stick to see what shakes out. Deputy director Monica Garcia is riding shotgun to beat off some of the more aggressive supplicants.
It’s only natural, dahrlings. There are so few healthy marketing budgets these days; folks are a little desperate for fresh funds.
Personally I abhor such blatantly obvious money grabs. I prefer to lead my victims to the Pink Couch, lull them into a false sense of sobriety with a little tequila reposado, and then display my Palo Volador talents on the in-house pole.
And, now for something completely different... well, no... not exactly, but, the rumour mill is hotted up like a sweaty stripper about what is or isn't coming off at TCook. I was devastated to learn that my darling Paul Larcher and that lovely Linda Wright are out on the street. Been there... more times than I care to remember. As to what else is coming down the pole ... will the quest for fun or sun win out? As they say in the stripping business, in time all will be revealed...
